SteddyGolf Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I live here on Oahu and have played every course available to the public as well as a couple private clubs. This a quick top five courses to play on Oahu. Since Hawaii is a tourist destination you really have to plan for some pretty long rounds. 5 plus hours is not out of the norm. During the week you might get out in 4 plus. 1. Ewa (pronounced EEVA) Beach Golf Course - This is my favorite. Great layout, challenging but not overwhelming, always well groomed, greens roll true, staff is professional, new carts with GPS. 2. Turtle Bay Palmer Course - Beautify layout and extremely well maintained. Wind blows quit a bit so be prepared. Greens are large and undulating. Not your typical resort course so don't expect the posh treatment. The tend to pace start times well. I've never been pushed nor have I had to wait long behind a group in front. The drive is long from Waikiki but if you make the trip from the Windward side it is a slow but scenic drive. 3. Ko'oalau Golf Course - The most incredible layout on the island. This course use to be rated the number hardest public course in the US. The key is to bring a lot of balls and just keep things in perspective. You are most likely going to shoot 10 over your handicap. The course is very poorly maintained. It is almost like backyard golf in heaven. 4. Ko Olina Golf Resort- This is a nice course very well maintained. The staff is courteous and professional. Home of the LPGA Lotte Open it is challenging if the pins are placed in tournament locations. Great opportunity to pit yourself against the LPGAs best. 5. Navy Marine Golf Course - The second most played course on the island. I enjoy it because its close to the house, the layout is extremely friendly, and its relatively easy to get on because the staff will work you in if they can. The greens are super fast but true. The course is well maintained. Rounds can be quit long because quit a few seniors call this their home course. If you have specific questions please feel free to ask. Have fun......

SteddyGolf Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 I agree Hawaii Prince is a nice layout and the have 27 holes so if you play there quit a bit you can get a little variance. I did forget one course which is a private course but you can get on is Hoakalei Golf Club. This is a Ernie Els design and from my understanding he always makes tough layouts with bunkers in all the strategic locations. It is a very difficult course for me. I play to a 3 handicap and that course beats my A! MagnoliaGolf 1 Quote Miura MB 502 Irons ping G400 Driver Cobra F7 3 wood Mizuno putter Mizuno Wedges.

Thanks for the info Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Ewa (EBGC) is a client of ours and probably the nicest course for the price IMO. Aside from a few courses on island, the average Kama`aina (local) rate is $60-65 and of that bunch of courses in the price range, EBGC is hands down my favorite. Not quite as nice to look at as Kapolei, but the price makes it more attractive to me.

The front nine and back nine are almost two completely different course. It's a well managed well kept course all around.

If you want something that you're not going to find everywhere else, Royal Hawaiian. The "Jurassic Park" course that everyone posts and talks about. If you can get on base, play Klipper at Kaneohe MCB.

You'll get good pics, but there are other courses that are better in every aspect. Kapolei, Ko'Olina and Ewa Beach Golf Club are easily better options. And if you know any active duty military on the island, Kaneohe Klipper on the Marine Base is a lot of fun as well! bens197 1 Quote LTDx Black 10.5º | UST LIN-Q M40X TSPX Blue 6F4 LTDx 3W 15º | UST LIN-Q M40X TSPX Blue 7F4 G425 3H 19º | UST Recoil Proto Hybrid 85F4 Z785 4-PW | UST Recoil 125 Proto F4 RTX ZipCore Tour Rack 50º Mid, 54º Mid, 60º Mid | UST Recoil Wedge Proto F4 ER5BV | BGT Stability Tour Tour B X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, the ladybug logo is a bonus. I’ve called my daughter ladybug since the day she was born (there was one in the OB room during labor) and this will be the first trip she makes to Hawaii. Im excited, thanks for sharing your thoughts. They certainly helped! mr.hicksta and yungkory 2 Quote Titleist TSi3 Fujikura Speeder NX Blue 60X TaylorMade SIM2 3 wood Fujilkura Ventus Blue 7-X Titleist U505 2 Tensei 1K Black 85 X Titleist T100 4-P Nippon Modus 3 120X PING S159 50-S 55-H 59-T DG X100 Vokey SM8 50, SM9 54 & 60 Nippon Modus 3 120s L.A.B.

puttnfool Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 @yungkory@mr.hicksta why, when talking of military courses on Oahu does Mamala Bay not get any love? I hear the arguments for Klipper, but I also hear many people recommending Navy-Marine, too, before Mamala Bay. Is it just because it's easier to access since it's not on base? mr.hicksta 1 Quote WITB: Taylormade SIM2 Max 9° w/ UST ProForce V2 5F3 @ 45" Callaway Epic Speed 4wd w/ AccuFLEX Evolution Reg Dynacraft Genesis 3 hybrid w/ Steelfiber i95r Srixon ZX5 4-6 and ZX7 7-GW w/ UST Recoil 95 F4 soft stepped once Cleveland RTX Zipcore 54/10 w/ Recoil 95 F4 shaft Cleveland RTX-4 58/03 w/ Recoil 95 F4 9i shaft Odyssey SL EXO Marxman Pondering: Nothing at the moment In the locker: Too much to list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mamala isn't as well taken care of, IMO. Plus it's always mega effin windy when I've ever played there. The 16th or 17th hole, can't remember exactly what number, long par 3. When that thing is playing into the wind and it's up, I've come up short with 5w before -- it's nuts. Overall, it's a decent track, and the second hole right on the water is cool. Navy Marine is more fun, can't really explain why. Maybe because it's easier? It's fairly flat, straight forward. Just seems like it wasn't designed to fist you. Still requires you to hit shots, but it's not overly hard? puttnfool 1 Quote Driver: Rogue ST Max LS Tensei AV Blue S 3w/5w: TSi2 Tensei AV Raw Blue S 4h: CLK 22* Hybrid Tensei CK Pro Blue 80HY S Irons 5-PW: 223 Steelfiber PR 95 S Wedges: RTX Zipcore Tour Rack 50, 54, 58 Steelfiber PR 105 Putter: LAB Link.1 Ball: Z-Star Diamond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
