Ever golf Kauai, Hawaii?

[powertrip240]

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!
