Played twice this week, Wed 6/5 and Fri 6/7. Single walk on. Busy course. Got out early and was able to join some 2 and 3 somes. Makes it hard to warm up. Teed off 7 on Wed, 6:15 on Fri. 4 1/2 hours and 4 hours respectively. Greens were sanded recently, so sandy on Wed, better on Fri. Greens were running a slow 10 on Wed, fast 10 on Fri. Greens very grainy... goes to pearl Harbor, but the sand on Wed masked it... I struggled on Fri for 10 holes until I figured it out. Course is fun, in good muni shape. overlooks Pearl Harbor, and there are some good vistas on the higher elevation holes. Course is hilly, has water features, and good sized greens with undulations and grain. I played here 10 years ago, and made it a point to get out, especially after seeing the golf hawaii card deal. If budget is important, and public golf is your option, and you don't want to play turtle bay, I'd recommend this course at the golf hawaii card price. Can't beat it. That being said, I'd say of all of the islands, Oahu has the least impressive golf in terms of the 'hawaii experience'. But even the most pedestrian course on Oahu hits different than home. The weather. The vistas. The agriculture, the sounds... it's very hawaiian and is a fun unique experience.
