Kiahuna-A Great Deal.
My first time playing this course, played on a twilight tee time which was a good value, given the price of other courses in the vicinity and Kauai. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The course conditions were great and pace of play was a non-issue. If I had more time I would play it again.
Excellent value in Kauai
My daughter and I were only interested in playing a quick 9 while in Kauai. So many of the other courses in the area are wanting over $200 a round, and I just didn't want to do that. Kiahuna is a really nice layout and the overall conditions were decent (1 green had just been aerated, so not ideal on that hole). Shot placement from the tee is key in a few of the holes. Overall very nice course in Kauai that doesn't cost an arm and a leg to play.
Beautiful course
Love playing at this course whenever we are in poipu.
Reasonable rate and also love to have food
And drinks afterwards at the Pacos restaurant
Kiahuna gem
My husband and I love to play on this course. The course was in great shape and the layout makes it really challenging but fun to play.
Nice layout with multiple tees
I have played here every year I have vacationed in Kauai and have enjoyed it every time. Very fair and playable layout with a good amount of challenges tot test every part of your game. The greens were in great condition as were the fairways and tees. It is worth playing at least once. No holes near the Pacific but nice views from a few holes.
Kiahuna again
We love this course when we’re on Kauai. Good pace, great conditions, and beautiful of course.
Great course at a good price
Had played here in the past and really enjoy the course. It could use some TLC and don't expect much from the Clubhouse, but for the money it is great. Quick pace and not crowded
Poor conditions
Greens were in poor condition. Some (numbers 12 & 18 in particular) were horrible, without a doubt the worst I’ve played on since my “muni” days. Otherwise this was a nice course. Lastly the carts were ancient, comparable to what you might find at a muni.
Great
The day was perfect, perfect conditions, it played well tithe rental clubs were fantastic!
Don’t bother; go elsewhere and pay a bit more
This course seemed fine from description but the driving range was sad, you pay for a bucket of mismatched balls, no towels in the cart, no waters in the cart or on the course, and no starter. The staff in the ProShop (a stretch to call it that) didn’t communicate to the pairings and people just started when they wanted? The cart GPS was so small you needed a magnifying glass to read it.
The one redeeming factor was the friendly gentleman pulling carts and collecting range ball tickets …you grabbed your own bucket from a shack.
Best score ever
Had my best game ever. Very narrow challenging fairways. Was confused at times which way the hole was facing. But overall had a great time.
