very good golf course, a little spendy
Very good golf course with nice vista"s but a little expensive. We were able to get a reduced price on Golf Now which made it more reasonable.
Friendly staff and a wonderful proshop. We found the course to be a fare course but we played without much wind. Some of the uphill holes were into the wind and if it had been blowing harder they could have taken some of the enjoyment out playing those holes for many golfers. If it is windy when you play you may want to choose a more forware tee. The greens were in excellent shape and putted very true. It was nice to play a course on Kauai that wasn't so wet. I would play this course again if I had the chance.
Design and maintenance come together for great atmosphere in which to spend 4 hours.
Although price is at high end, I always bite the bullet once in my annual trip. Think of how much I would bite the bullet if the price came down. This date was very windy +/- 2 clubs all day. Terrific surf views on back nine. Great course - just pricey.
Excellent Course that could.....
The course is in outstanding shape and having played it the second year in a row, I think it is the best maintained of the three big ones that I have played on Kauai - Prince, Makai and Poipu.
I do think they charge a little bit more especially given the holiday season and then tack on charges for passengers etc.....Here is my suggestion : For the 1st one, given how the game of golf itself could use an additional boost to its popularity....get more aggressive on your pricing....I would say 250 to play 2 rounds of golf - one in the AM and one after noon over a 3 day period could go a long way to have more players! On the passenger charge - please stop charging for kids who are not even playing but are there mainly to understand and see how the game of golf is played. Along the way, their parents buy enough treats to add to the bottom line( one other option...if u do charge then provide a credits of some sort for future use at the club house or something like that )....
This is not for Poipu but golf courses in general - Times have changed and the way you need to look at encouraging participation must change .....The old ways are gone and the game is all the better for that ( color barrier, women participation etc.) so let us not be stuck in the fuddy duddy past!
A Kauai must play!
Course is set up for the wind, but try to play on a day the winds are low. Lots of bunkers and super views on holes 15 - 17.
Beautiful but Challenging
16 Handicap challenged by the strong facing or cross winds on over 50% of the holes. Excellent views of the ocean/cliffs. Course in great condition. Starter was excellent letting us get out early ahead of 2 groups he knew might be slower. Overall time of round only 3 hours.
Can't beat the finishing holes and the amazing ocean views!
I love golfing in Hawaii...Poipu Bay isn't that hard of a course, but when you add the wind, it's a tough challenge. There are times when you'll hit a 220 yard drive into the wind, followed by a 330 yard drive with the wind at your back...hole #16 is a down hill, down wind par 4 of 472 yards from the blue tees, but plays like a 380 yard par 4...can't beat the finishing holes!
Great wide open course
Coursse: course is in great shape tee to green. It's wide open but with a lot of bunkers. Played in high winds. You playing with or against the wind on every hole making club selection a challenge. I often had to club up 3 clubs against the wind or 3 down with the wind coz the course is not protected from the ocean. This makes doe great scenery thru out and especially on holes 14, 15, 16, and 17.. Greens we're rolling true and fast.
Staff was friendly. Didn't like that they charged a $25 riders fee for my wife to rides along when I was playing solo and it wasn't that busy. However, being the first time, they gave both of us very beautiful bag tags which makes a great souvenir.
Recommended course for both low and high handicappers. Just choose your tee box wisely due to the wind factor.
Beautiful Course, Amazing views.
Great course. amazing views. greens were very fast. we played in the afternoon. Allowed my wife to come along ($25-non golfer). Staff very friendly, especially Marty-our started. Great rate from golfnow.com, thank you.
Great course, great people, great place!
The course is in excellent shape, challenging, but wide fairways make it very open, and the new greens are in immaculate condition. Staff, from pro shop to starter to cart girl, were very friendly and helpful, and not stuffy or pushy in any way. Pace of play was fine (just over three and one-half hours). We'll be back.
nice golfcourse
very nice golfcourse. I have played most of courses in Hawaii and this is one of the best one. Also nice to see all top playes pistures in the wall.
Excellent course!
Great challenging layout enhanced by tradewinds, history, great support staff, and beautiful vistas.
A Good Playable Resort course.
Poipu Bay is enjoyable to play.
The pace of play is usually very good, The course is well maintained and the staff is very personable.
The views on the back nine along the ocean during whale season are awesome.
An occasional rain shower will pass through but they usually last for a couple of minutes. As with any Hawaiian course its a good idea to pack an umbrella just in case.
I always enjoy this course, especially the ocean view holes
Great course that has great ocean view holes with holes that are short enough for a mid handicap golfer. Course was in great condition.
Play it !
Beautiful course...difficult in places, but wonderful wide fairways.
