Solid course

Great course that is well maintained. I paid $85 on the hot rate and rented clubs for $50. They gave me sim max clubs and I killed it with them. It was perfect. The course isn’t too difficult and it’s pretty hard to lose a ball. I also played hapuna while I was here ($275 for round and club rental) and this place was definitely better maintained and I had more fun here. Course was wide open, so we were cruising, never had to wait once. Good value for a course on Kona!!

Surprisingly Good Course

I played 18 at 2pm with another single - done in 3+ hours. Very enjoyable. Surprisingly fun and much more reasonably priced than the typical Kona courses by the water. Strongly recommend!

Beautiful course well maintained. Holy cow the first nine had gusts of wind between 25-35 mph, made the course crazy tough back nine wind let up and made it much more enjoyable.

Had a good time

Only played 9 holes. Had a great time. the only issue I had was the condition of the bunkers. You wold think that the bunkers would be raked and manicured each morning. the bunkers were very hard from the evening watering the night before.

Enjoyed course but not enough hazards or challenges. Pretty flat and featureless

Average course but fun to play

It was a windy day but we enjoyed the play. This course is average but still fun and the staff are welcoming.

Fun!

Great staff, had fun even during a downpour, the driving range was the least quality area, volcanic “sand” in the traps, beautiful views, affordable experience!
