Hawaii Kai Golf Course

I played this course in July of 2021 while on vacation in Oahu. Course was totally burned out dry from lack of rain. Play was slow. I was able to play through two groups then got jammed up behind a foursome that played very slow to the end.
Tee boxes and greens were not in good shape. Clubhouse was awful, like a cheap municipal course. Not worth playing here.

This course has potential to be a great course. Greens are in terrible shape...full of weeds and shaggy and fairways are burned up. I've played this course back in the day and it was really nice.

I felt like i was playing in desert
It was not good value for playing there with over 100

Played the course pre-Covid and it was not in good shape at all but decided to try again since a friend said the conditions improved. I was happy to see that the course was in better shape and looked like work had been done since my last visit.

The problem I had was the pace of play was really slow. It took 5 hours to play the round and I never saw a marshal the whole time we were on the course.

Also the food place closed at 3P which is really early especially on a weekend. We wanted to get something to eat/drink and there were several other people there asking the same thing.

Fairways were very dry, a lot of brown grass. Greens were great shape though.

The last time I played was in 2020. The course seems a bit rundown now. However, coming from a cold weather climate it was good to just swing a club again. The front 9 greens we’re aerated but the back 9 greens were ok.
The price through Tee Off was appropriate for this course.

Great championship course. Must play with awesome views!

Great course with difficulty. Shot 85 that’s 2 under my HI. Thanks

Greens slow. Course not very green and lush. Had some holes that were above average. Overall ok

What a wonderful course with mountain and ocean view opportunities! I play all over the world and this is now in my top 5 overall. The staff is unbelievable and views are great. Very inexpensive for what you get!!!!

A few years ago the locals had told me this course was very dry and not in that good of shape. I finally played there for the first time and was surprised to find it in great shape. The fairways were lush and the greens were in good shape. Maybe they've received a lot of rain recently. Regardless, I didn't see any dry spots. The bunkers were a little hard. They didn't have the soft white sand high end courses use. The pace of play was a bit slow. We got stuck behind a fivesome of seniors. No reason to rush. Everyone's on island time.
