Nice course and scenery.

Played the Kings and Beach nines. Both were great. Nice scenery. Some greens were recently aerated but still in good shape. Nice 19th hole. A great deal for guests of the Hilton.

Greens under repair

Would have been a beautiful

Round but the greens were that of a municipal course in a dry climate. They airated 2 weeks ago and they are dry with bare spots still.

Do not recommend currently.

Needs water

Greens totally inconsistent, look like holes were cut with a machete. Foursome in front extremely slow waited on every shot, never saw a Marshall and never waved to play through!

Horrible course amenities

The course layout was nice. We played the lake and the kings course. The scenery way beautiful but the greens had divots that weren't repaired. There wasn't a ranger regulating the pace of play. We were stuck behind a group that was 5 putting anf the while round took over 5 hours. The beverage cart didn't come by til the 15 hole. They say there's only 1 beverage cart for 36 holes. I don't recommend this course. Mauna Lani is far superior for a similar price

Enjoyed my day, great experience!

I played for the first time today and had an excellent experience. The staff were helpful and kind. They went out of their way to make my golf experience enjoyable. First time I played in such windy conditions but still the course was very playable. The ball was always sitting up well on the fairways and the greens rolled true. It was a great day and look forward to playing there again!
