Could be a great course but lacking some TLC. Apparently course is being sold.
Favorite Kauai Course
Always good to come back to Kiahuna for an enjoyable round in a great setting. The staff is beyond friendly and helpful. I recommend Kiahuna to all.
Excellent course for the price
A very good course, especially the back nine. Played in 3:15 as a twosome on a quiet Monday. Greens are quite tricky (or maybe I'm not so good a reading them). Very enjoyable!
Nice layout good condition
Played first 18 in under 3 hours early morning then took advantage of $25 replay rate. However that took 5 hours behind incredibly slow foursome. Love the course but needs some marshalling. Possibly COVID has impacted their business. Don't get a drink at the turn, $14 for a vodka tonic.
Much better than I remembered from 15 years ago

Great shape had a great time
Slow, Featureless Goat Ranch
Course is nothing special. While cheaper than most of the resort courses, still not worth the money. Course plays very slow. No Marshall’s. Cowardly office staff sends you out to talk to young starter with any complaints, only to be fired Ted back into pro shop for your refund.
Never in my life have I seen a more cowardly adult male. Using a young girl to shield himself from customer complaints. Disgusting behavior.
Bottom line. Staff could care less.
Nice course
A little hard to navigate if you haven’t been here before. Course wasn’t overly demanding but had a nice layout. Better than average rental clubs. I had a very nice day of golf.
Great time
We had a wonderful time great weather and the course is very nice
Golf experience at Kiahuna
Kiahuna is a good track with nice views of mountains and ocean…a challenging venue with a nice mix of short and long holes. The Pars threes were a bit mundane, there was no water provided on the course for thirsty golfers , but my experience was pleasant and I’ll return. One maintenance guy started his cart in my back swing, but other than that, it was a good day !!
