The course was fun and in good shape. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. It was full but not slow which was nice.

I went for 2 rounds with my family at the end of December 2023. It was a great course and I really enjoyed it. I thought it would be easy to get a score, but I hit the water on the 18th hole both times and ended up with a double bogey. It may not be suitable for people who want to seriously play golf with a style different from Japan. This is the course I always want to go to when I come to Hawaii.

The course itself is good, but it's too close to home. I didn't type it in, but are you a resident? People complained. Kapolei was better than Ko Olina. I don't think there will be a second time.

Love this course, but they really screwed up last weekend. Let a wedding party of 10 beginner golfers go out in front of us even though they showed up right at their tee time. We had about a 2.5-3 hr front nine. Wasted some money that day…

Amazing atmosphere!! Every one is so nice and the course is incredibly beautiful. I was just riding along with my partner who golfs and I still had an amazing time. He loved golfing all the different courses with hills, waterfalls, and all kinds of obstacles that made it a truly unique experience.

Yes it’s not the cheapest but there’s a reason this is the #1 course on the island- from the signature scenery on the 8th and 12th holes to the grass driving range (with balls included in the tee time) and the overall well maintained course- I do think you get good value for your money. There are a decent amount of hazards but we only lost two balls between the two of us- both by nat into the water on the final 18th hole. ?. Golf course staff were very friendly and professional including in the pro shop.

I went to Ko Olina Marriott hotel with my husband and children which is just by Ko olina Golf Club. One afternoon we went for a nice walk with the kids in the stroller and while we were walking on the public sidewalk a cross the street from the golf course my husband got hit in his foot by a golf ball. It was so fast that we couldn’t see the ball coming and it took us a few minutes to realized that it was a golf ball. It sounded like a broken tree branch and it hurt very much. When we finally realized that it was a golf ball and where it must have come from we look at the people in a golf cart driving away!! We called them, got closer and told them what happened. The guy recognized his mistake and said sorry and that was it! Fortunately, the ball hit in a place where there was no bone and it didn’t cause a major injury but I was so upset because it easily could have hit one of my children in their little heads and the story would have ended very differently!! My husband went to the Golf Club office to speak with the manager but they said they are not responsible for the things that the players do!! How can that be possible?? I know accidents happen, but this seems to me very evitable and there should be someone responsible for it. To me a Golf Club that doesn’t take responsibility for their players bad actions should not be working, it is too risky for the people that is not even involved in the game.

Overall a great experience. They offer a discounted rate to those who work in the golf industry which is great!The booking platform is easy to use the course is an easy walk or drive from the local resorts.The pro shop was world class with plenty of logo’d options at affordable prices and the staff were extremely attentive.The practice facilties were as expexted. Nothing special there but not bad by any means. The outside staff run a great operation also keeping golfers moving on time.The locker room needs work. Very dated and somewhat malfunctioning. Complimentary sunscreen etc would be expected in the locker rooms at comparable facilities.The carts are nice and the souvenir cups are a nice touch to keep hydrated.The course was exceptional. It blended into the surrounding Ko Olina perfectly. A great mix of challenging holes and gettable birdies. The wind makes the white tee’s plenty long. The greens were quick but fair!Pace was brutal as expected for a resort course. The course marshalls check in but arent pushing anyone. My group kept up and played in about 5:15 even though they post everywhere on property that they expect 4:20.The only other issue I had was the greens were PEPPERED with pitch marks. It looked like a lot of people werent even glancing at craters in the greens. I must have fixed 4-5 per hole.Overall, a very enjoyable round if you know what to expect and fair pricing in comparison to everything else in Hawaii.

Very nice facility with friendly staff. We were treated like members with no exclusions. Couldn't have asked for a better time on a beautifully manicured golf course.

My response to your response is: There was nothing in my spam so you shouldn't try and use the spam excuse when your Pro just didn't follow through with his commitment. Your pro just failed to follow up like he promised. Also, the slow play excuse is bogus. The pro should keep the time so I get my 1/2 hour on the range. During a play and learn do you really think it's up to the client to keep the pace in order for your pro to finish his lesson, I don't think so, I had no idea your pro had another lesson after mine. Also I don't really think there was slow play. I think your pro felt like I was wasting his time and couldnt wait to move on. In essence I wasted my time and $600 and pretty much got nothing in return...overpriced lesson thin on results.I had a play and learn golf lesson from Kevin Shimomura in October of 2023. I was supposed have a supervised warm up then play a round and then an after play range lesson. I never got the supervised warm up. In the round itself I never received any swing instructions except for a tip to keep my feet together when chipping. The only instruction was a bit of course management which was somewhat confusing. Then at the end when we were supposed to get a range lesson he told me he had another lesson starting and couldn't give me the range lesson. Then he told me he would email me some instructions and follow up of the play and learn round we had. He never sent me anything. I would say overall it was a waste of money especially for the cost which was pretty expensive for not getting the full promised program. The course was nice but i would never get a lesson there again...
Course was in good shape. Staff treat you very well.Range balls included with resort fees and I would guess with all greens fees.Greens are really slow in January vs most other courses I played in Oahu.

Visited with my companions, Mr. TJ and Mr. KD.Play in combination with one American businessman and four playersnice guy!The golf course is one of the most prestigious, well-maintained, and I had fun playing, but the scores weren't great.There are many photo spots on the course, and I would like to play there again when I come to Oahu.but,$199At this price with the discount, it might not be easy to come by.But it was good!

This is a wonderful course where you can enjoy Hawaii golf to the fullest.Couples and couples with children who don't play can also go around.There are also plenty of souvenirs available.You can also walk from Aulani Disney.Recommended for families with small children who want to play golf.

I booked a round a few weeks ago. Had issues booking online from Australia so called and they accepted the booking.I originally was meant to have a friend joined which meant transfer from our hotel would be free but he bailed. They still arranged transport for $80 roundtrip for me. The lady driver was early, extremely professional and lovely. The car is a bit old but super comfy. We were late coming back from the round due to a slow group in front and she met me at the cart return and got me on my way. Highly recommended.The pro shop is nice as are the staff. The merchandise is reasonably priced particularly compared to Turtle Bay.You get a bucket of balls to warm up, and there's a nice practice green. Most of the patrons are lovely but some were pushy and rude.Heaps of Japanese and Korean visitors. It is on par with a nice, private golf course in Korea. I haven't played in Japan.You get an electric cart which is stocked with tees, marker, water and towel.We had the bar cart once but saw it twice. Also, very friendly.Greens, fairways are in good condition. Greens are very challenging. There are houses off some of the fairways. The last hole has an unavoidable water feature so if you're not confident with water, steel yourself. Bring crap balls. ?Only drawback is marshalling. They helped us once with a slow group and our pace time reduced from +12m to +6m, but towards the end, it returned to +12m. Super frustrating.Playing here is expensive - about $280 per round.The tees are also cut out lady bugs. Super cute.Heaps of trees and wildlife. Beautiful mountain views on some holes.Would visit again when I'm back in Honolulu.
