Great value

Bunkers always a challenge since they a heavier fill so it doesn’t blow away. Greens this time, however, pretty rough and inconsistent between holes. Definitely need to figure out which way grain is running before putting.

Great Course for New Golfers

The course was in good condition overall. The crushed lava rock bunkers were a bit different. It was a fun course that is easier vs others I've played. Quite a few mid fairway bunkers.

It was priced for Hawaii, but would be 70% if the cost where I live.

If you want to go enjoy a fun course good for high handicap golfer.

I'd play here if it was my local course

Good experience.

Course is in great shape. Great layout, good value. In the hills today was not as windy as I would have expected. Forgiving and playable for all skill levels. Would recommend. I've played here multiple times over the years.

Good experience after pace of play issue

I have played here several times in years past. The course wasn’t crowded so play should have been moving well. We were behind a foursome that took 50 minutes to play 2 holes. I called the pro shop and they sent someone out to take care of the problem. They had the group stand aside and we played in 4 and a half hours. Not bad but this is a four hour course. It is in the best condition I have ever seen. I will play it again.

Great day with friends

Our 4 some ( two married couples) from Arizona enjoyed our day. The course was in good shape . Some very pretty ocean vistas along with lots of natural areas. The fairways and greens were in good shape. We saw wild turkeys on the course along with a few goats. Lots of nesting ne nes. There are some forced carries but it is a fair course- not “tricked” up. The round was completed in about 4 hours.

Traps

Everything was great except the sand traps were more like pebble traps.
