9th green Photo submitted by David9966334 on 09/06/2013
The course needs a marshal to keep groups moving we played behind a threesome that was so slow groups behind us left they wouldn’t let anyone play thru either everything else about course was great
Excellent value for a fun course
Played just after noon. Staff was friendly, let me go off sooner than tee rime as very uncrowded. Course was fun and an interesting layout. Greens pretty slow for my taste but in good shape. Range was pretty basic with beater range balls, but no big deal. Really enjoyed it and played 18 in 2 1/2 hrs!
Solid course, good pace of play.
Everything was great to include lunch after at Palos Tacos. One issue we had was getting lost a little on the front nine. Ended up playing 7 for 3 and 3 for 7 as signage stunk. Also could not find 4.
Better than expected
Course was nice and challenging. Conditions were better than anticipated.
Great layout.
This is a bit of a hidden gem. Robert Trent Jones designed. Pretty challenging, but friendly too. Carts are a bit rough, the cooler on the cart was full of ice. 👍
I would also recommend the Mexican restaurant to a bite to eat after. Good bar food.
For the price of golf it was good compared to the other courses in the area. The course had some challenges to it which I like and had some great views
Layout was good
Great course.
Played 18 in 3 hours
No water except a pond on 18
Some carries over lava rocks
All 3 aspects greens, fairways and tee boxes were very playable
The rental clubs, Callaway, were in very good condition
too much
Course had piles of cut grass around greens which affected play. For the high green gees the conditions were not much better than a hacker special. Overpriced.
Play 36!!
First time out at Kiahuna and was pleased. 12 min gaps for tee times meant no waiting. First 18 was a good intro and there are some angles that local knowledge really would help with (aimed at the wrong pin on number 3) but the second 18 played for a SIGNIFICANT discounted same day replay rate and had even more fun the second time. Some peeks at the ocean are out there and awesome mountain view’s.. The Kiahuna community is growing so there is construction noise occasionally and there are a few areas of repair on course/had one dirt lie in a fairway…so not excellent down the board. Would play again - especially if the tee sheet was a bit sparse. Played 36 holes in less than 6 hours! The staff are great, friendly and a lot of Aloha.
Excellent Value
The course was in excellent condition. The staff was very friendly, especially the starter. The rental clubs I used were also great. I only played 9, and wish I would have played 18. Don't hesitate to play this course!
