Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa

What an amazing golf course! Winding up and down the coastline, spectacular views and winds that test your game.. Course was in great shape,: fairways good but greens were a little slow but right before start of aeration so a factor. Definitely a must play on Kauai!

This course is unreal. It's so beautiful it is like a video game. It doesn't even look real. The course is extremely well maintained and the layout is fantastic. There are views of the ocean and surrounding mountains. The staff is very friendly and everything about the course is over the top nice. The carts are in perfect condition, the driving range is on the way to tee 1 and is included in tee price, and you even get a cold towel from staff when you end the course. This was probably the nicest course I have ever played, highly recommended and worth the price. Do it!

Fun course, some challenging holes with headwind. Staff said it was mild wind so can’t imagine with stronger winds. Had to go 2 clubs up on the shots into the wind

The golf course was in excellent condition, with wind and some mud due to the recent rain. Upon arrival, the bag attendants were professional and attentive to their duties. The starter, Kurt, was very knowledgeable and helpful.

However, the issue arose with the course pro shop staff, Greg and assistant director of golf Chasen Bahouth. After my round, I was informed that I needed to purchase range time, despite having already spent $300 for the round which included the range, chipping and putting green. I explained my intention to hit a few balls to straighten out a few things that needed some attention, but Chasen responded with a condescending “Sorry, you need to buy range time if you want to work on your game.” I was shocked and left the area, heading to the pro shop to speak with the GM of golf activities, Chad Dusenberry.

When I asked who the individuals were, Greg started yawning, indicating that he didn’t know who they were or how to contact them. He directed me to some cards on the counter with names and numbers. His carefree and nonchalant attitude was not in line with the course’s heritage. The culture of a club starts at the top. I wondered what my interaction would have been like with the GM.

I must remember that they had already taken my money and thought I was a one-time visitor. I had planned to play an additional three times as more family and friends come into town. Needless to say, I will not spend another penny at this course. Your experience and needs may differ than mine…

Course was in great shape and staff was great. The view were out of the world so glad I played this over the other courses. Would recommend.

I decided to play the course after picking out the best course to play on the island. I liked the layout. I wasn’t anticipating such windy conditions. Had a great time of course when you have the wind in at your back. How Phil could shoot a 59 in this weather it’s beyond my expectation.

Golfer friendly course. Pro shop advised that greens had been aerated recently which made it quite bumpy. That was the only bad mark against this beautiful course.

I am not an outwardly emotional or expressive person normally… however… I was MOVED spiritually & emotionally playing this course. This should be one every golfers bucket list. The only reason I gave a 4 on the condition of the course was because the greens were still slightly recovering from the aeration. Other than that it was beyond perfect.

This is an RTJ gem. Tons of fun, lots of great holes with scoring opportunities and the views are spectacular. The only complaint i have is that there was no mention of aeration when I booked on GN. We paid full boat at $280 pp, when I showed up at the course they told me public was paying discounted fee due to aeration but they couldn't pass that on to us as we booked with GN. GN should have passed on that same rate to their members at time of booking. I would recommend you always call the course before booking on GN for this reason. Course is awesome, even with the arated greens we had a great time

This was a great course, in the elements, what Golf is about!

Excellent course!

Stunning views!

Challenging yet playable!

We played three courses during our stay on Kawai. This was by far the best course we played for the value that we paid.
