The course was in excellent shape and the staff is so friendly and helpful. Because of COVID the pro shop had limited hours and the restaurant was closed which was disappointing but overall I would definitely recommend this course as a must play.
Amazing day!
Course was a dream! No drink service on the course or after but other than that, it was STUNNING
Brutal wind
Course is awesome but if your a high handicapper and it’s windy (20-30) constant you my want to wait to play. Great pro shop locker rooms where a little old bring your own soap shampoo etc if your chnging there. Course is worth the drive and the price to play. Try Nd get on during week and after 12 it’s cheaper. Legit course!!!!!! Great shape!!!!!
The weather was so terrible that it's hard for me to make comments
The bag boys told me that was the worst experience he had personally witnessed.
There was no contact from the pro shop during this experience. Some contact to see if we needed anything would have been appreciated-such an offer of dry towels would have been appreciated. An offer to refund the tee fee would also been appreciated by I realize that would not be be automatic.
Top 3 courses on Kauai
Stunning layout, spectacular views and challenging fairways. A must play for avid golfer.
Gorgeous
Views and the course are fantastic. Very playable and fun. Expensive in high season, but worth it for the once or twice in a lifetime visitor. Rental clubs are Srixon and quite nice.Staff is VERY friendly and helpful. Weather was a bit wet at times but not a game changer.
Ocean views and immaculate course
Played Poipu Bay in December, so a bit wet due to the season on Kauai. Overall, a great course layout with well-kept bunkers, greens, etc. The staff was great (very friendly, welcoming at carts and starter areas). Play where the champions have played!
Amazing doesn't even begin to describe it
Being from Southern California, you get to see "some" great courses. Unless you're super rich, then you get to see the ocean. This course is both affordable AND gorgeous. Fairways were perfect and the greens were a good challenge. Some target golf, but that only makes you better. The staff were so kind and always helpful. Even when picking out a shirt for my wife. I cannot wait to come back and play.
Honeymoon round at Poipu Bay
My wife and I played this course while on our honeymoon in Kauai and it was one of the most incredible golfing experiences I've ever had! the course staff was incredibly courteous, helpful, and welcoming. Rather than fly our clubs out for 1 round, we rented from the clubhouses number of options of club sets. From there we headed to the driving range which was a first class facility all the way around. Due to the price of a full round we only played the back 9 but it was worth it with the incredibly breathtaking views. The in cart course GPS and food/beverage ordering system was top notch. After our round we headed back to the clubhouse which offered a great variety of breakfast, lunch, and beverage options. I would hands down play this course again and strongly recommend!
Fantastic day of golf!
This is a fair but challenging course, with picturesque views from a few holes. The greens couldn’t have rolled any better, and the staff was great!
Always epic
Poipu course is always in great shape friendly staff and good tee options depending on wind conditions.
Very Nice Course but some inland holes were bland
A great resort course with generous fairways and minimal rough this course has some teeth on the inland holes with elevated greens and water hazards guarding some fairways and greens. Poipu Bays opening holes were a little boring but the heat gets slowly dialed up 2 thru 18. The two ocean adjacent holes are magnificent but this course has much to offer. Conditions were amazing.
Best course in Kauai! Don't bother going anywhere else.
Poipu Bay is a former PGA course and you'll see it right when you step foot on the property. First with the signage but also with the high quality all around.
The pro shop is very nice and has tons of everything. I didn't rent clubs but I saw good quality rentals set up inside and outside. I bought a few ball markers for the memories.
The practice facility is not around the clubhouse and that's where Hole #1 starts. In fact, the first 3 holes are a bit far from the "main" part of the course. The practice facility is unbelievable with a great grass driving range with yardage markers and trees that are targets. The bunker area is massive with a chipping green. The putting green has a lot of slope and is quick, relatively similar to the course conditions.
Overall, the course layout is a lot of fun. Although Hole 1-3 is on one side of the property, it doesn't disappoint. The course has a lot of hills both (uphill and downhill). The fairways were not cut tight so I was a bit disappointed. For example, the first hole fairway seemed a bit too long for a fairway, almost like it was the first cut of the rough. You'll see some dry, yellow patches on occasion throughout the course but it doesn't affect much.
The back 9 is where this course shines! Although the course isn't crazy difficult, I found myself losing focus because of the stunning views. You're either next to the ocean or hitting toward the Kauai mountains in the background. Both are stunning.
The course is a lot of fun to play and the course is immaculately cared for making the steep price understandable. There's some wind and you'll have to be comfortable hitting into it at times.
The greens were speedy but not impossible. There are lots of undulation and spots you'll have to hit to stick it close depending on the pin location. But play to the middle of the green and you'll be fine.
The staff at the pro shop, at the practice facility, and the bag drop were amazing. Honestly, the best in Hawaii I've experienced so far and I've played in Maui too. I appreciated the service they provided and the positive attitude.
If we come back to Kauai, this will be my go-to.
Enjoy the view
First time playing this course and I’m glad I spent my 40th Birthday at Poipu Bay. Absolutely majestic!! Take moments throughout the round and look beyond the course, the layout demands it with its majestic mountain backdrops and lined ocean views. Be sure to sharpen your bunker skills for they are everywhere and mis hits can and will get you chasing par. Drive well and you can set yourself up real nice. Jaime, Kurt, and Miss Nellie really made the experience complete with their service and genuine kindness. Mahalo to all I connected with that day.
A must play course while on Kauai
Challenging course. Gorgeous back nine along the ocean. Gotta watch for hikers though. Well maintained greens and fairways. Super friendly staff. Excellent pro shop selections. Worth the money. (Lots of nenes).
Management is the issue here!!
Great course but way over priced. Try the Ocean Eleven at $135, holes 8-18. The customer service at the desk and Craig the GM are the worst!
Not family or junior golfer friendly. I wanted my son to come out and ride with his dad on Thanksgiving but it would be either a $35 charge to ride or $140 for him to play. They wanted $35 for junior club rental? $100 for a seven-year-old hit a few balls? He’s seven!!
Play ability
I read reviews but really choose a course on layout and how it fits my game based on yardages
Yes I can hit the ball I am a fairly good golfer
I play yardages which fit my game I am old enough to know what my strengths are and when I should play tees other than the tips
I don’t play the tips at 7000 plus yards why I do t drive the ball 300 plus yards so there’s no reason to play them I feel good 66-6700
I played the blues here fit my game take away the two doubles I shot 77 if you hit fairways you will have a great time
The rough is tough to hit out of your club gets stuck in the grass thus the ROUGH
Seriously play the tees suited to your game you will enjoy
I certainly did great layout
Great conditions
Great greens
Great staff
