Played Ala Wai Sunday afternoon on a cloudy but nice day. Teed off at 12:45 and finished in just under 4 hours at 4:40. I played with 2 guys and a lady neither spoke very good English but light conversations were had and they were very nice. Course is in good shape due to all the recent rains. The course is basically flat and walkable with not too much trouble anywhere except maybe 14 a short par 4 with a canal running between green and fairway, but otherwise it is very playable. Greens rolled well and a good time was had by all. No cart service here at all so bring your own or buy in restaurant before you tee off. Recommended if in town and don’t feel like driving to other courses…

Played Ala Wai today and it’s becoming my go to course only because it’s 3 blocks from me and it’s only 28.00 to walk. The course is fairly flat and there’s no real trouble except a few holes where there is water. I teed off at 10 and finished at 2:15 so 4:15 is not bad. The tee boxes are all very green and level however, the fairways are half brown and half green and are fairly firm so expect more roll out and why they are not watering them I don’t know. I’m not sure what the mixture of grass the greens are however they hold good shots but when it comes to putting the only defense this course has is the wind and it gets very windy here. There’s no real rough here and a few OB’s but those only come into play on a really bad shot. Bunkers have a decent amount of sand and ok to play from. All in all this is a no frills course, no pro shop and I have never seen a cart girl probably because the majority of golfers walk and they probably carry their own refreshments. The driving range here does not open until 11, but the restaurant opens at 6 am For a course that’s in the heart of Waikiki it’s a great option..
