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.

Great staff and beautiful course

Great course, great staff and a wonderful round of golf with two great guys from Minnesota. The only small complaint was the play of the group in front of us. We went around in 4 hours and 10 minutes. Easily could have been closer to 3’ 45”. But, I’d rake the same round again anytime, except my score. Ha!

Great day

What a treat to play this course. Ideal weather and breath-taking views. Course in excellent condition. Starter was very helpful to get us out early and pair up reservations to level out play.
