If you are on a cruise and want to play a round of golf, this is a great course. Just catch the Hilo Hattie free shuttle and the course is just a short walk across the street. Nice course and friendly staff. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

Although the location is next to Costco, this golf course was in the best condition of the FIVE that I played while on the island. Helpful and friendly staff

I have played this course for several years now on my vacations to Kauai. Course condition has varied greatly during the last several years. However, the overall condition of the course is very good. Fairways and bunkers are now in very good shape. Except for #2 last week, greens are much better. The course has an excellent practice area even... More

not having to rush like on oahu. course was reasonably priced and very nice. short enough but yest challenging. and close by where we did not have to drive a long way. having a driving range and nice practice putting green was good to help to get warmed up.

Played here today...Feb 19. Course was in OK shape...not great but very playable. Staff is very friendly. I came out as single and they let me start on the back 9 since the front side was pretty crowded (for some reason they let fivesomes play) and the starter knew it would be agonizingly slow. At $79 it was one of... More

It started out so nice. My husband and I booked their special from the website, it was $79 or $89 I think. The people were nice, the ranger advised us not to hit into the group in front of us until they were on the green. We were in paradise, no hurry. Until it got very backed up. I think... More

We played this course 2 times, both at 7:30 am which is the first tee time. It did rain on us the second time, but it passed quickly and wasn't a problem. This is a women friendly course, loved it!

We golfed here twice. The staff were very helpful and the course is very nice. There are some very beautiful holes, especially #6 or 7 - I don't remember which. You can golf twilight for $59 after 2:00pm. We got rained out on our second round.

We teed off at 10:30 and pretty much had the course to ourselves, which was too bad since it is a fun one. There are some challenging holes, and the wind can tease you, but all in all we had an enjoyable round.
