I'm going to Hawaii with my girlfriend in March, and I have decided that I MUST play a round of golf while I'm there. She's not a golfer, and I already have a "kitchen pass" to go play for a day. The Feb. issue of Golf magazine has an article on Kauai golf courses (the island that I'll be going to). Wailua Golf Course is looking like the affordable one for me. Greens fees during the week are only $32, plus $17 for a cart.

Has anyone ever played at Wailua Golf Course? Any opinions?

I have beent to Oahu and Kauai, and I can tell you you have made the right island choice. Kauai is a great island to go to. Not as good as Maui for golf, but still decent.

Here is a link about Kauai golf courses. I don't have any experience with the one you mentioned, but these are the highlights on this site. Some are pricey, but hopefully this will help out.

Have fun over there. Don't drink too many Mai-Tai's

I was in Kauai in February 2006. I did not play Wailua. Obviously it might be a good bargain, but for me, if I'm going all the way to Kauai (and being in Phoenix, it's going to be a loooong flight or two), I'm going to buck up. It'll be worth the money too as you'll get to experience one of the top courses in all of the islands. I'm talking about the Princeville Resort's Prince Course. It was spectacular. Can't recall how much exactly, but I'm sure it's $200+. But it is one of the greatest, most challenging courses I've ever played. Princeville also has the Makai Course, which is very nice as well. Then, there's Poipu Bay where they played several Grand Slams of Golf events. That was an enjoyable one for me because I had just watched Tiger and Phil play there on TV a few weeks before I went out there. Then I also played Kauai Lagoons' Kiele Course which was right next to my resort. It was fun as well, but certainly # 4 of the four I played. My view is you never know when you're going to make it back to a place like Kauai so if you're going to have one round in there, it's got to be the Prince Course!

    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
