At the end on February I'm taking a week long golf trip to Hawaii. Soon i will need to book some tee times! I would like to know what courses you guys and gals think i need to play while I'm there. We will be jumping around islands so i have a lot of options. Let me know!

If you are on Oahu I would suggest...

Ewa Villages if you want to play a muni. I think for non residents its like $50.00 a round. Its a par 73 with 5 par 5's. Its the newest of all the muni's on this island and probably is in the best condition out of all of them.

If you are military or know someone who is, I would highly suggest Navy Marine Golf Course.

Of the Semi Privates, Ewa Beach Golf Club is a must. Until the opening of the Ernie Els designed course earlier this month, I believe Ewa Beach Golf Club was the newest course on the island.

A second semi private I would suggest is Luana Hills. Talk about playing jungle golf! The greens are small, hard, and fast. They say to bring as many balls as your handicap cause they will surely get lost! If you over shoot the green, off into the jungle they go never to return. Imagine playing golf in jurrasic park. They have a signature par 3 hole known as "the pond" which is a relatively short hole but has the likes of a tpc sawgrass 17th hole.

If you got the cash flow for the resort courses, you got to play turtle bay (two courses there) or Ko olina. Finish it off with a challenging public course at Ko'olau.

Just my two cents...

Feel free to PM when you get to islands if you get lost or need some assistance!

i agree with the previous post. i would add kapolei. its a real nice course with some challenges. i personally like kapolei because of the gps feature on the cart.

    • Day 159 1-19 Flow drill while attempting to add arch in wrist on downswing. Not where it needs to be but felt good working on swing flow. 
    • Day 1 (19 Jan 26) - after a week lay-off due to travels, felt great to get in some drills in the backyard today.  Started with lead arm only short pitches focused on squared face and light divot post ball.  Haven’t done this in a while and it showed, with some skulls and slices.  Settled into easy flighted balls - wrapped up with standard two handed swings.  Good restart to the daily drills. 
    • That depends what you do within those two.  Are they your only options?   Check out Fit for Golf if you get a moment.  It's linked on the sidebar;  I did it for two years, stopped for a really bad reason, and I plan to get back to it soon.   Mike Carroll also has a great free podcast about a lot of topics in golf fitness. 
    • Day 19, 1/19.  Finished work in time to spend 25 minutes hitting balls (hit 15) indoors, off a mat, into the net.  Usual focus.    
    • Day 30 - 2026-01-19 Got 10 minutes in on the mat / net working on exagerrating movements I'm working on. And grip. Also worked with my friendly AI to summarize key negative tendencies I have so that I can build a personal checklist to follow. Will do more mirror work tonight.
