Excellent golf course

Enjoyed playing Poipu for the first time. Adding it to one of my favorite golf course to play in Kauai. Excellent service, tee time, pace of play, facilities, staff and everything.

Nice course , views are great, some short far 4’s & 5’s but the wind makes up for that. Had a great time beating my son- in-law.

Great course, but very windy

Poipu Bay is a great course not to be missed. Pace of play was a bit slow once I caught up with the group in front of me, but that allowed plenty of time to enjoy and photograph the beautiful scenery, especially on the ocean holes 15-17. It is very windy, though, a 2-club wind the day I played, mostly either in your face or at your back (not a lot of crosswind holes).

Awesome experience!

The course is in immaculate shape and you couldn’t ask for a better experience. The elements definitely make this course challenging given the intermittent rain and seemingly constant 20+ mph winds. The greens were slower than I would expect for a course of this caliber, but it was welcome after how much work it can take to get to the green in the first place. I would absolutely come back and play again.

Stunning!

One of, if not the best, resort courses I have ever played. Beautiful track, well maintained, tough but fair, pricey but worth it, all around show stopping golf course. The staff was awesome and even on a busy day we played in under 4 hours. Just play it if you can!

No service

So the course is beautiful but there is no restaurant or a place to get a drink except the cart girl. I did not see her until the 8th hole. Everywhere in Kauai is using Covid as an excuse to have no service.

Return trip to Poipu Bay
