Greens very difficult

Unable to buy dri nks as bar was closed at 5.00pm for dinner guests. Would like to play again but would need a bit of practice putting on the greens

Awesome course!

Nice wide fairways. You feel confident and comfortable letting the drives go! Greens were very tough for me both speed and reading. Had an awesome time!

Slow play despite asking course marshal for help

Slow play really impacted the enjoyment level playing this course. Worse we called the pro shop who sent a marshal . He advised us that a group two up from us was 2-3 holes behind. But he did nothing nor did he come back to see if there was improvement l. 10 to 15 minute waits between shots is not fun. This course needs real marshals who ensure proper pace of play is adhered too

Aloha and thank you for bringing this issue to our attention and please let me apologize for the slow play from the groups ahead of you on that day. Keeping our customers happy is our number one priority and I hope you give us another chance in the future. Mahalo.
