Kauai Lagoons Golf Club - Waikahe Course

I am 82 with a 9 handicap and play tees set for 52-5400 yards.based on how far I hit my average driver - 190 yds and average 5 iron. - 150 yds. I believe the average golfer playing 6000 yds or more will have their hands full! Take a lot of balls. I shot an 81 and it has been 3 years since I last played this course. It is in the best condition. Greens are very fast if you are putting with the grain. Winds were up 20 -30 mph which is 2-3 more club going against it. But I sure enjoyed a couple of 250-270 drives too.
Have fun out there! Playing from the correct tee box is not taught. Check the internet until you have found the metric for the Driver and 5 iron chart. It will make your game more fun and that is what is all about!

The back 9 is beautiful with challenging scenic views. Beverage cart found is several times!

The course was in really good condition, great greens, etc. also great views. The staff was friendly and the on course amenities were also in great condition and were staffed with friendly people.

Finally saw ocean on back 9. Downhill green on dogleg left was awesome.

Loved playing this course. Fairways were nice and wide but had plenty of challenges closer to the pin. Stunning Mountain View’s on the front nine then nothing but ocean views on the back.

Stunningly beautiful, challenging and extremely well kept. Great staff and nice facilities. Yes it’s expensive but definitely worth it.

Challenging golf course with great views. Course conditions were spectacular.

The course was really very nice. In fact it was beautiful. The amenities were great. The staff were very friendly. It’s just too expensive compared to other courses on the island. In fact, I played Poipu Bay a few days ago and I think now it was a better course then The oceans course.. nice. Great. But not worth the price.

Always love playing this course. Challenging layouts, fast greens and trade wins add to the difficulty. Amazing views on the back 9. People are always very friendly & accommodating. We always play 3-4 rounds at this course every trip.

From the time we loaded our top notch cart to the end of the round it was an amazing experience. Course is a bit more challenging than the neighboring Kauai courses but super fun and beautiful. Staff was extremely friendly. It rained on the back nine and it was nice to have the built in rain cover on the cart. Played this course twice while on vacation and thoroughly enjoyed each round. Wish all courses were this nice!!

Hokuala ranks right up there with Kiawah Island's Ocean Course for its combination of scenery and difficulty. You can lose a handful of balls in the jungle on the front nine and more in the ocean on the back nine. It's quite the test in the wind.
The Jack Nicklaus design features the longest, continuous stretch of golf on the ocean in all of Hawaii. Once you turn the corner toward the 13th tee, a sea of blue takes over the backdrop. Some of the holes coming home get a little awkward. The 15th is a cruel par 4 with a blind tee shot over a bunker to a tilted fairway that kicks balls hard left into a water hazard. My advice on the blind 16th is to layup with a 7 iron. The fairway narrows and drops to a green in the shadow of the harbor lighthouse. It's tricky.
More water on nos. 17 and 18 requires golfers to finish strong or risk limping back to the clubhouse.
