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 !!

Loved it!!

Shawn (starter) was very helpful! Course was in great shape and very interesting to play - we will definitely want to come back with what we learned the first time. Really enjoyed the back nine;)

Restaurant was only 5/10 - would not recommend eating there though after round drinks would be OK - no view of course though.

Always enjoy playing the course. The greens were not in great shape, mainly because people don’t fix their ball narks.

Green greens

Pretty nice course.

We were a twosome and two groups that we caught up to immediately let us play through without us having to ask.

Greens are 10/10

Too much $ for that course!

Staff was friendly. Driving range in poor condition. Range balls were old golf balls probably found on the course. No beverage cart on the course. Water was unavailable too. No marshall on the course. Pace of play very slow. Condition of course was average. Also under staffed. Probably because if. Covid-19. Restaurant and bar was closed after our round. No cold beverages and food to finish the day of golf. Sincerely, Ken
