“Hidden gem on the island of Kauai. Play it early though, or it can be extremely crowded. From the back tees, this is every bit of a golf course that you could want. The course starts you off with a great tee shot straight towards the beach, with your approach running parallel to the sand. If that doesn't wake you up, the long, challenging par-4 2nd and par-3 3rd will kick things into gear. The course generally stays away from the beach the rest of the way until you hit the gorgeous par-3 17th. Conditioning for a municipal course is pretty good, and pace of play in the morning is quick."

“The best golf bargain in Hawaii. In contrast to typical resort courses in Hawaii, Wailua is a more classical design."

“What a bargain with several holes along the ocean. Condition is an issue but the beauty makes up for it."
