“There are many Hawaiian courses with great views. Nanea also has great golf holes -- tough to get on but well worth the effort!"

“What a great golf experience. From the moment you enter through the very subtle gates off of the highway, you are entering into a very special place. The clubhouse is very impressive and the locker room is quite special. The staff is excellent and caddies are terrific. The golf course is very playable and enjoyable from start to finish. Several holes have sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and the elevation changes are quite challenging. One of the truly great golf experiences in Hawaii and maybe the best course in the islands."

“Very private club built along the side of a mountain. The rolling fairways are often tight especially under windy conditions. Most greens are huge and hard to read. Several good doglegs and lots of great views. Always in perfect condition. The clubhouse is also unique. Terrific staff and service and great caddies."
