All I can say is… wow. First time golfing in Kauai and this is the way to do it. Tee time at 7:45, we got there early enough for a WARM welcome including a complimentary golf towel before loosening up on the range. Starter “Uncle Ricky” hooked us up with a couple of cold waters and we had a no stress start to our round starting on the back 9. Phenomenal views, challenging tee boxes, and just honestly complete relaxation while having the most fun possible on a golf course. Felt like we were the only 2 golfers out there (great spacing of tee times). Absolutely will go back if I get the chance. I miss it already!
One of the best courses I’ve played yet. Absolutely pristine conditions from tee box to green. Fairways were spectacular, upkeep of the course is unmatched. Highly recommend playing this course if ever on the Island of Kaua’i.
This was one of my favorite golf experiences. The course was as beautiful as it gets, I don’t think I’ve ever played more amazing finishing holes. The weather really cooperated and there was sunshine and no wind to speak of. We were the first tee time out and finished the round in 3 HOURS which is unheard of typically on a resort course. I can’t wait to come back and visit once the new clubhouse is finished. Ranked as one of the nicest courses in Hawaii it’s easy to see why. What a great experience. Shoutout to Tom and the whole staff who made it a day to remember. *They had just sanded the greens after a big storm getting ready for a college tournament so don’t mind that in the photos. Greens played a little slow but no impact to the round overall
