Kiahuna Golf Club

Nice track, good shape and I had fun. Is it pricey for the course? Yes, but your in Kauai and a very fair value (u can play the muni for 80 less and feel like ur at a muni or pay 250+ for resort courses) Greens were in great shape. The back nine was very cool and played much harder than the front with the winds). Callaway rentals were great. Bonus was no beer gouging, paid like $17 for 3 Pacificos at the turn, so again fair value. Would go back, but would plan on 36 as they have a lower same day replay rate.

Really spongy and slow greens. Several holes you have no idea where to hit it off the tee. It’s tough to tell which way the hole goes. Range balls are actual golf balls that have been found on the course and not range balls. Staff is nice, but the course needs some work.

Great Staff! From the Cart staff to the Marshall were friendly. course was is great shape especially only 2 1/2 weeks after aeration. The rough is penalizing and the green are grainy, but stay in the fairway and you can score. Green fee is very reasonable for the area. I highly recommend and would play there again.

We rented a house on the 18th hole, so we figured we would play Kiahuna Golf Club since it looked pretty nice. Some of the previous reviews were brutal, so we didn’t know what to expect. Our foursome was dropped off at the clubhouse, and we went inside where Scott Muttersbach checked us in, and talked a little Packer football with us. Scott was very laid back, yet very informative about the course and amenities. Being from Arizona, the cost of golf was comparable to where we came from, so we didn’t experience sticker shock for golfing in Kauai. Scott set us up with range balls, and got us out on the scenic range where we warmed up. Went over to Paco’s Tacos which is actually part of the course, grabbed a couple bottles of swing lube, and out to the course we went. Having never played the course before, the course was well marked, and you knew exactly where you had to go. The course fairways were green and lush. The greens were firm and fast, but fair. All in all, the course was very good, the holes scenic, a few views of the ocean, and challenging at points. We had a great time playing 18 holes, grabbed some tacos at Paco’s, and then replayed 9 holes for cheap. We were not held up by slow groups, as the play moved on all holes. If we ever have the chance to play Kiahuna Golf Club again in the future, we definitely would. Nice well maintained course, friendly people, good food, and scenic views.

I was really disappointed with my visit here because the course conditions were not what I expected at all. I had heard so many good things about playing here, but the greens were in rough shape and it made for a pretty frustrating round. It felt like the maintenance had been neglected, and it was tough to justify the high cost when the experience just wasn't up to par. I really wanted to love it, but I won't be back anytime soon.
