Played Kaploei today at twilight first time out here. Course hosted the LPGA Lotte Championship in 2021 and has a nice driving range and great giant putting green when pulling in. Very nice clubhouse and facilities overall. This is a Ted Robinson design and if you’ve played one you’ve played them all. The front nine is mundane with the exception of number 9. The back 9 was actually a really enjoyable layout with a lot of water features and exceeded my expectations. The greens are in exceptional condition and rolling about a 10-11 which is as fast as I’ve seen on Oahu so far. The fairways are mowed very tight and have great coverage. Rough is thick and shaped well. The bunkers are a little below average shape and I’d expect a little better for a course like this considering the rest of the conditions. Overall it’s a solid course with great conditions that is an excellent value for locals and a little overpriced for visitors. I wouldn’t recommend this course if you’re on vacation looking for something special to play, but it’s a solid local option.
