"Beautiful golf course. Hard to call it a Municipal Golf Course. Very well maintained. And, the view at all of the holes, particularly #17 WOW! what a view. Staff very friendly & personable from the check in to the starter. Sad there wasn't any food or drinks available, but I read another review & it sounds like the food service needs help! Only negative was the attitude of the pro shop pro. Rude upon arrival, even when we went the day prior to check out the rental clubs to make sure they had a set for me. He asked question after question regarding our golfing, and how often we golf, our handicap, etc. I realize there are a lot of folks who come out in vacation & tear up the facilities. But, honestly,
He'd get a lot further with folks with an attitude adjustment. Definitely worth it to play at this course. Next time I may bring my own clubs, which may produce a better demeanor out of the pro."

"The course is beautiful for a municipal course. However, the atmosphere here is horribly malignant. For a muni, they asked me when I scheduled if I was a beginner and then when I got there they asked for the handicap of all the golfers playing. There were signs everywhere about pace of play and being banned from coming back there. We were relatively slow (about 10 minutes behind pace of play) and when we finished the range marshal asked me if there was anyone slowing us down. I said no and that we were the slow ones. He proceeded to tell me that they have tee times every 6 minutes, and that most courses do every 10-14 minutes and the way they make an additional $3000 dollars a day. He then told me my group cost him $3000 dollars for the day because of how slow we were playing. I understand pace of play is important, but when I paid 130 dollars for a relatively well maintained course I don't expect to be accused in that way. It definitely turned me off from ever coming back to this course. We were ten minutes over the pace of play...

Additional comments. Driving range is on mats. A little cheap feeling. Maybe other days they allow grass, but it didn't look that way. The pro shop is barely there and there are only vending machines for snacks. There is no water jugs on the course except for the turn so be prepared with lots of your own water.

Overall, it seems like this place has the attitude of an expensive private course with the ammendities I would expect from a crappy municipal course. The course was beautiful, but being in Hawaii what isnt? I will not be returning to this course and would not recommend going here if you have a handicap over 10."

"This is a municipal golf course that doesn't look or feel like a municipal corse. This is an awesome golf course that everyone visiting Kauai should play. The whole course is well maintained and beautiful. Several holes are along the beach and offer scenic views.

The tee boxes are very nice here, not bare dirt or sand, lots of grass.thwy keep the tee box grass is cut and not left long or crazy.

The fairways are really nice throughout the course. No bare dirt patches, just nice grass. There are not that many fairway bunkers, but I did find one on the 18th. The rough can be difficult. It does get a little thick in areas. This is not a flat course, so there will be hills on the left or right of the fairways. A few of the holes do have water hazards, but if you plan correctly, these can be avoided. This course does have trees throughout, some holes have a lot on the sides, and some don't. Look ahead to avoid. This course has a good mix of wide and narrower fairways, nothing ridiculously narrow .

The greens are really nice here. They are well maintained. The ball rolls smoothly and doesn't bounce all over the place. There is undulation and different breaks, but it is still fun and challenging. The green side bunkers are in good condition and have sand to hit out if. You still don't want to be in them. Some bunkers are wide, and some are pretty deep, unless you're good out of bunkers... not me.

Amenities:
-driving range- there is a driving range here, mats only. The balls are a good price, and the mats are alright. You get the balls from the Pro Shop.
-putting green- the putting is a good practice area and gets you ready for the course, no chipping here.
-Chipping area-there is a separate Chipping area. Similar to putting green, but narrower, still a good practice area to warm up.
-Pro shop-the pro shop is small, but there is some good stuff here and priced good. If you're lucky, you are there to catch a sale or deal.
-No restaurant or place to buy food on property.

We have been here a few times when we visited, and we will continue to come back. Great course that is fun but still makes you think about your shots and placement."
