Timbers Kauai Ocean Club & Residences

This was a great course. Especially for the price. I booked a twilight tee time through GolfNow.com for $75 plus $35 for club rentals. I played with another twosome in 3 hours. I'm used to playing at home in about 5 1/2, so this was a treat. The course was in great shape and had awesome views. I was planning on playing Poipu Bay, but may just go back to Kauai Lagoons again.

Kauai Lagoons was the most beautiful golf course I have played in Hawaii.

Beautiful course right by LIH airport. There are 3 9's: All are breezy. Moana is on the ocean. Fairways were in perfect shape when we played in June. Entire staff was super friendly and helpful. Not crowded at all.

The daily pin placement/"local knowledge" card on the cart provided great tips, complemented by the on-cart GPS. Pace of play could be improved upon by sending out foursomes instead of twosomes - not everyone wants to play with strangers, but we seem to always meet nice folks on the golf course, so we don't mind getting paired up.

We had a minus 29% deal ($145 i.s.o. $205) and I still think it's quite a lot of money for a round of golf next to an airstrip. However, the course was in a fine condition and the layout and the scenery are amazing. Spectaculair views of the Pacific, teeshots over the jungle and every chance to see whales playing in the background. One thing was a real bummer though. After a challenging round of golf, I long for a big icecold beer. Guess what? No clubhouse. We were referred to the poolside bar in the adjoining Marriott hotel. Aside from that we had a wonderful time there. A fine Nicklaus design definitely worth playing.

Ocean holes are awesome. Great course, you will be challenged and enjoy the views. Bring a camera. Stop by the Marriott on the beach and have a beer afterwards.

I have always wanted to play this course and recently Golf Now afforded me the luxury. The ocean side has some fabulous views, but overall a course I would not play at full price. Even after Nicklaus' redesign, some of the holes are kind of gimmicky, so much so that they give you a tip sheet on where and what club to hit. I strongly recommend you follow the tips.

Everything you want in a resort golf experience; excellent practice facility, practice balls and cart included in price, fantastic ocean views, really nice clubhouse and setting.

Good views from course,
With rain drops some areas stay wet

All of the personnel we met were super friendly and helpful with whatever request we made. The course was beautiful, and considering the previous days weather which was very rainy and windy was in excellent shape. We were at a slight disadvantage as this was the first time we played here and the hole locations and the directions to them was not always apparent. I would highly recommend this course to any one wanting to play a first class golf course on KAUAI.
Golfnow did a great job refunding the fee for the rained out day and rebooked the outing at a lower rate than the original rate.
I will use golfnow for future golf excursions when needed.

Greens on front nine slow. Much quicker on back nine. Fairways and greens in good shape. Front nine much more difficult than back nine.

Had a great day! My play left a little to be desired since I was on my first day with a set of rental clubs, however that is not a reflection on the condition of the course. Kauai Lagoons is a beautiful course and challenging due to a few blind shots off of the tee. A person could score better on their second round. The last four holes are the most challenging , so be ready and save some energy in the reserve tank for the end of your round. The wind will come into play on those holes more than the rest of the course. had a great day of golf despite my score!

Very challenging course and beautiful, the price should be more affordable for Local Kamaaina rates.

Course in great condition. It also had some personality- very imaginative holes with elevation changes, bunkers and water.

Very well taken care of. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. The course is very playable for all levels.

This is a beautiful, well maintained golf course. The back 9 have been renovated, the front remains to be done.
Part of the course runs along side the airport and it's quite a sight to be golfing with planes coming in. Other parts of the course have amazing ocean views including some holes where the greens project out to the sea.
Highly recommended, especially if you can get a good rate.

This 27 hole course has varied conditions from rainforest to ocean.. The Moana nine has some great ocean views.. The pace of play was great for a Sunday.. Loved my round here..

We booked a 1:30 tee time and got a good price (around $80/person). The sun sets around 6:30 this time of year so we thought we'd have plenty of time to finish. The course was not very busy and there was never anyone behind us so we took our time and enjoyed ourselves. What we didn't know was that they have a rule that all carts must be returned to the clubhouse by 6:00. That seems like a silly rule to me, but we would have been fine with it had we known about it. We weren't aware of the rule until a marshal approached us on hole 16 at about 5:45. When we informed the marshal that no one had told us about the 6:00 rule, he was very confrontational and basically called us liars. After that very unfriendly encounter the marshal left, but then returned later to again confront one member of our foursome while he was alone in a cart. He again asked what time we teed off and if we were informed of the 6:00 rule (he already knew none of us were aware of the rule). Our group member was then asked where he was from and what time his home course closed. So in both conversations the marshal was rude, argumentative, and not at all helpful. After deciding to obey their curfew, we skipped the 18th hole and returned the carts to the clubhouse right at 6:00, only to see several players come in several minutes after us. When we calmly explained to the person in the clubhouse that we were not very happy about the situation, we were basically dismissed and told there was nothing they could do. It's a nice course and I would play it again, but only if they get their act together.

When in Kauai, what's the point of golfing inland? This course is Nickolaus designed and the back 9 features 4 consecutive holes overlooking Nawiliwili Bay and Ninini Point. Too much left hook, and that ball is lost to the Pacific Ocean. Even the front 9 has you hitting over lagoons and gorges full of forest. We scored a Hot Deal during the middle of the week in the early afternoon and felt like we owned the place. The starter did a great job on pacing and we never had a group breathing down our neck, and we never had to wait for anyone to finish on the green either. I highly recommend this course. Well maintained, good challenge and stunning scenery.

The course was very enjoyable to play, fare but challenging. For the most part the landing areas are very generous with the premium being placed on your approach shot with good green side bunkering. The two nines are very different from each other. One being an ocean side course with nice vistas and the other being more of a parkland course. We would absolutely play this course again.
