Café / restaurant was being remodeled so rating is just average. Pro shop staff and cart guys were great. On course food/beverage person was excellent. I look forward to playing here again next time I am in Kauai

A great day on the course!

This was a great day at Poipu Bay! We had no one in front of us or behind. The course is beautiful - we had a great time. The conditions were great - and it is nice that they include the practice facility, too. The rate is high - and in non-covid times I'm sure it feels like more of an overall experience. The cart-girl did her last round at about 1 which was a bit frustrating. But definitely will be back for another special round.

Kauai golf re-opens

Very convenient to the Grand Hyatt. The course is in excellent condition, stay out of the growing rough. Greens roll smooth. Remember your safeHawaii QR code and take a screenshot as there is no cell service.

The course was in excellent shape and the staff is so friendly and helpful. Because of COVID the pro shop had limited hours and the restaurant was closed which was disappointing but overall I would definitely recommend this course as a must play.

Brutal wind

Course is awesome but if your a high handicapper and it’s windy (20-30) constant you my want to wait to play. Great pro shop locker rooms where a little old bring your own soap shampoo etc if your chnging there. Course is worth the drive and the price to play. Try Nd get on during week and after 12 it’s cheaper. Legit course!!!!!! Great shape!!!!!

The weather was so terrible that it's hard for me to make comments

The bag boys told me that was the worst experience he had personally witnessed.

There was no contact from the pro shop during this experience. Some contact to see if we needed anything would have been appreciated-such an offer of dry towels would have been appreciated. An offer to refund the tee fee would also been appreciated by I realize that would not be be automatic.

Gorgeous

Views and the course are fantastic. Very playable and fun. Expensive in high season, but worth it for the once or twice in a lifetime visitor. Rental clubs are Srixon and quite nice.Staff is VERY friendly and helpful. Weather was a bit wet at times but not a game changer.

Honeymoon round at Poipu Bay

My wife and I played this course while on our honeymoon in Kauai and it was one of the most incredible golfing experiences I've ever had! the course staff was incredibly courteous, helpful, and welcoming. Rather than fly our clubs out for 1 round, we rented from the clubhouses number of options of club sets. From there we headed to the driving range which was a first class facility all the way around. Due to the price of a full round we only played the back 9 but it was worth it with the incredibly breathtaking views. The in cart course GPS and food/beverage ordering system was top notch. After our round we headed back to the clubhouse which offered a great variety of breakfast, lunch, and beverage options. I would hands down play this course again and strongly recommend!

Ocean views and immaculate course

Played Poipu Bay in December, so a bit wet due to the season on Kauai. Overall, a great course layout with well-kept bunkers, greens, etc. The staff was great (very friendly, welcoming at carts and starter areas). Play where the champions have played!

Amazing doesn't even begin to describe it

Being from Southern California, you get to see "some" great courses. Unless you're super rich, then you get to see the ocean. This course is both affordable AND gorgeous. Fairways were perfect and the greens were a good challenge. Some target golf, but that only makes you better. The staff were so kind and always helpful. Even when picking out a shirt for my wife. I cannot wait to come back and play.

Fantastic day of golf!

This is a fair but challenging course, with picturesque views from a few holes. The greens couldn’t have rolled any better, and the staff was great!

Very Nice Course but some inland holes were bland

A great resort course with generous fairways and minimal rough this course has some teeth on the inland holes with elevated greens and water hazards guarding some fairways and greens. Poipu Bays opening holes were a little boring but the heat gets slowly dialed up 2 thru 18. The two ocean adjacent holes are magnificent but this course has much to offer. Conditions were amazing.
