any here ever played golf in kauai? going for a week with my wife and wanted to see if there are any courses worth playing. She doesn't play so ideally a place where making a tee time in advance as a single wouldn't be an issue.

What's in the bag:

Driver: Adams 9064LS (project RIP Shaft) 9.5 degree
3 Wood: Titleist 909R 14.5 degree
Hybrid 3-iron: 19 degree Tour Professional (bent to 18 degrees)Hybrid 4-iron: 21 degree Tour ProfessionalIrons: Tour X-20 5-PW Project X 6.0 shaftsGap Wedge: Mizuno MP10 52.08 Sand Wedge: Mizuno MP10 58.10 Lob Wedge: Nike 62.06

Don't know if you've already gone:

While on my honeymoon (I know, what a wife), I played princeville and the muni near the airport.

Princeville was as advertised. Stunning views, incredibly difficult holes that require prime shot making. Then other holes that are forgiving. I thought for the price (up to 195) that the course would be in pristine shape, manicured etc. It wasn't perfect, but very very good. I'd go back if I had the chance. My wife got a massage while I played the front 9 and then rode along with me on the back. It was NO PROBLEM getting a tee time---not a ton of people on the course for that price.

The muni--it was called.....Wailua. No tee times at twilight--only something like 28 to ride. Course is RIGHT ON THE OCEAN. I think four of the holes played right along side it. Was it the perfect course? no---extraordinarily well maintained? no---exciting hole layout? no---....BUT, for 28, playing on the ocean, amidst the palm trees, it was a great opportunity to play a little less stressful golf. I would recommend.

If your wallet is particularly fat- try poipu bay at the grand hyatt. the PGA Grand Slam of Golf used to be held there (might still be)

thanks for the response. staying at the grand hyatt so i will likely play there. have heard some mixed things abou princeville. most like the design but lots say it isn't well kept up. others say it is immaculate.

how crowded is wailua? does it play a 6 hour round like most other good munis (e.g. bethpage)

Ya know, it really wasn't that long. It was probably like 4.5 hrs. And there was a definite line of carts waiting for the first tee. What was key was that all of the foursomes of ladies let us through.

Princeville- like I said, not incredibly manicured for me. But, I guess that's hawaii.

we stayed on the southshore in poipu--I didn't golf at poipu bay, but when we walked down there and I stood out around the course, I had a similar feeling about conditions. That course is more on the water though.

There are also the two courses over by the airport....You get the idea. Lots of courses- you're playing golf in hawaii, it can't be that bad, right?

    • Just exaggerating the crap out of sending the club head back and behind me in the downswing.  just trying to learn how to feel the club head working down back and under my hands into impact. It’s been a battle against the steepening pattern.  most of the time, as soon as I initiate torso, turn the right hand just wants to twist over the left and steep in the club to send the club out towards the ball. 1. Back swing looks better and it’s getting easier to not have to think as much about it. Lots of maintaining the hands in front of my torso as I turn.  2. From A2.5 to A5, its juts trying to flip the wrists over and drop them down. Trying to keep the right palm up as much as possible. Then pray I can turn to hit the ball. 
    • Day 69 (9 Jul 25) - Work in the backyard today - focus was on proper weight shift and keeping tempo smooth.  
    • Thank you, sir.  As I sit here right this moment I'm mentally gearing up for Wednesday Night golf league. I'm stoked to play as I'll be very curious if I've found something real or if it's just a blip on the radar. 
    • That is a 9.8 differential if my calculations are correct. That would be an exceptional score if it is 7.0 less than your handicap index. Congrats
    • I believe that @billchao has suggested that I fall into this category.  .... Although technically I believe he referred to me as an "ass-clown". ... Which at the time seemed like a compliment. 🤷‍♂️
