Great redesign for back nine. Bring a good short game and skill with sand wedges. Each hole is so distinct. Be sure to look at guide for each to lessen shock of unexpected design challenges. Reduced fees for Marriott guests. More

Front nine is attractive and the red sand bunkers are wild, but the signature holes on the back nine alongside the ocean are world class!! More

This complaint is not about just this golf course but all golf courses on the Hawaiian Islands. Did you know that they chare three times the price that local residence pay. For example if they pay $50 you get to pay $150! I complained to the Kauai County management official and he said it because it’s a privilege to play... More

It was a pleasure to see this golf course re-opened with the newly designed holes. The views along the ocean are just spectacular, but the course does need to mature a bit. Greens are much too firm to hold even quality shots. The premium that Nicklaus places on approach shot accuracy coupled with the firm conditions makes it too unforgiving... More

Great Resort Course with Wonderful views. The redesign of the Back nine is awesome, and the course is pretty tough. The best thing about this course, is they don't charge a Rider Fee for your non-golfing spouse. I recommend playing it is worth it, and the staff is very friendly. More

The rooms are beautiful and views lovely. The pool is very small, but nice. The grounds as very pretty. However, this is a condo, there are NO Restaurants at all - no food. You have to order in from town. There customer service is the worst we have ever encountered! They are rude, cold and indifferent. Would not stay here... More

The views from some of the holes are just breathtaking. Pace of play was great and every staff member was friendly and helpful. This is what resort golf is all about! More

Love this newly redone course. The rental clubs are amazing. Be sure to bring plenty of balls because you will need them! This is a beautiful course that offers killer views over the ocean. Some of the holes are unforgiving - drives over jungles, steep cliffs on the backside of the greens, and plenty of heavy sand. You will never... More

I hope it's still as good as when I was there last. I could not stay away from this beautiful course. Bring your camera. Bring your game. It's a challenge. It's got amazing views. I was addicted to this course, Poipu Bay and Princeville. All equally addicting. It becomes like Vegas where you just don't care about the money any... More
