If you can get a 59 in this one more power to you

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.

Poipu

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.

Bucket List

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.

Great course, disappointed in condition of greens

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

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

Beautiful views.

This course was beautiful to play. Long and tough for the wives but they enjoyed the view. A must play if you are on the island.

Poipu Bay Golf, Hawaii Golf at it’s Finest

This is one of the most beautiful courses that I’ve ever played. The maintenance and upkeep of the course is fantastic. The layout is challenging but fair. The trade winds often come into play as the course is located right on the ocean. Staff have always been very friendly, welcoming, and professional. I wouldn’t mind if the price to play wasn’t quite so high but this is golf in Hawaii where everything is pricy. I thoroughly enjoyed playing this course and play it a couple of times whenever we’re on Kauai. I’d recommend giving this course a try if you’re ever on Kauai.
