Good luck concentrating with these views!

Pro shop staff was the best - lots of branded merchandise to choose from. Course is in great shape and interesting layout.

Beautiful views

The course has outstanding ocean views. Conditions of the Fairways were good, but not great. I paid less expensive courses on the island with similar, if not better, fairwayConditions. Overall, I enjoyed the course and the layout.

Never again

I was staying at the Grand Hyatt and decided to play Poipu Bay. When I got to the golf course the golf shop had two people behind the counter. First thing that they said was that I needed a collared shirt. I was wearing the same overshirt as Justin Thomas on the PGA tour and they told me that this wasn't the PGA tour. The golf course was uninspiring. Upwind and downwind. Nothing interesting. Greens are slow. There was no one there. After the round I grabbed a couple of balls and hit chips on the putting green. They sent someone out to tell me that I couldn't chip on the green even though there were no signs telling me that. Overall, a terrible experience and I will never go back.

Disappointed

I was excited to play this course from the reviews. When I arrived the pro shop had no idea how Golf Now worked and said that I should have booked it through them instead. They were rude and very unhelpful. I tried calling Golf Now and got a recording saying to call back tomorrow. I was pretty stressed out and I paid the greens fee anyway. They told me I had to wear a collared shirt. I was wearing a golf pullover like Justin Thomas and they told me that this wasn’t the PGA tour??

The amenities were subpar. Didn’t feel like a resort at all. No tees on the cart. Staff was not friendly. Told me I couldn’t chip on the putting green, etc.

The golf course is uninspiring. Holes are straight either in the wind or downwind. I don’t think the views were that amazing for Kauai. The greens were flat and slow. I don’t think I would ever play here again. I’m not trying to be negative but golf in Hawaii should be much more fun than this experience.

Beautiful views and spectacular golf as well

Had a wonderful time despite some strong winds. Course was in great condition, practice facilities outstanding. Very friendly pro shop staff.

Consider playing a little shorter tee as the wind can easily be more than 2 clubs hurt

Fantastic layout with beautiful scenery

Great golf course, greens were immaculate and pretty quick. Bunkers were in bad shape due to much recent rain, but understandable. Very interesting track with some fun elevation changes. Ocean is not in play buts adds to beautiful setting of the course. Loved it, but lots of wind

Golf pricing

I would determine usage to be low - I think that the big 3 and Puukea have priced their product too high. If I didn't have a Troon card it would be Wailua every day.

One of my favorite courses in the planet. Course was moist enough that none of my shots ran. Everything hit and stuck. So distance was a problem. Not sure if it’s rained a lot or if they’re overwatering

Poipu - LCD review

The course is beautiful. Course knowledge would make the experience superior. The refreshments cart was a bit tardy in doing rounds. But the views and course itself are worth a round for sure.

Everything was great. Unfortunately nothing was open before or after golf. We were hoping to have lunch afterwards but everything was closed.

Some golf courses in Laquinta Ca understand they can’t make money on food and beverages so they offer free rent for vendors who would like to come in and open up the restaurant at their expense. The Vendors just need to pay for the expenses to keep the lights on. It’s a win win for both parties. Just a opinion
