Ko Olina Golf Club

Excellent tourist resort golf course and facilities. From arrival golf bag drop off until you are returned 5 hours later to your car in the parking lot on the shuttle bus this place is a class act.January 2025: The course condition is excellent. Fairway grass is green and consistent. Putting greens are astroturf smooth, though not particularly fast. (If you want to experience fast putting greens head over to Ewa Beach golf club).Practice range balls small bucket is included with green fee. Balls are in excellent condition.Golf carts are in excellent condition.All personnel, and there are a lot of them, were friendly, helpful and cheerful.Plan on a 4 hour 45 minute round. This place is so scenic and fun to play you will not regret the slowish pace of play.I've played 7 golf courses on O'ahu, this one is the most luxurious, Of course it is also the most expensive.

Let me preface this review with saying that I've played at Koolina probably 15 times in the past 8 years, and this review only reflects my most recent experience.The course and staff overall are always a real pleasure and this is normally one of my favorite courses to play. The last time i visited however felt like a colossal waste of time and money, solely due to the marshall Mike that was on duty today.On multiple holes, we were talked to about potentially needing to skip a hole to get on pace, that we were behind, or generally pressuring us to play faster. This was while playing par golf with a 4 man scramble, and most holes having to wait at the tee for the group ahead of us.Multiple tee shots were spent with him under 40 yards from the tee just watching us hit, and i watched him follow the group in front of us, waiting within 40 yards of them while they hit their second shots from the fairway.It was an amazing example of how one person can completely ruin an otherwise great experience and i hope this review helps Koolina Golf Resort look closer at how they manage their marshals.At hole 10, we waited almost 5 minutes to for the fairway to clear, to be talked to while still on the tee about our pace. That is completely rediculous and showed a complete lack of awareness and professionalism.

The cast members here are awesome.. treat with ease and comfort .. they go out of their way to make you have a great day on the course..Thank you Joe and Daniel for an exceptional golf day. The course is amazing, fun and the food is really good.

We love driving here from town for the driving range. The course is stunning. Prompt and friendly service at both the store and range. The golf store also offers a variety of golf attire, clubs and accessories. $12 for a large basket of balls is such a steal, considering hitting off real grass!

The Golf Crew from start to finish were awesome. Made our whole group have a wonderful experience. Even the grounds keepers on the course during play were friendly. Love the cold towels when turning in the carts.

What an enjoyable course! This resort course is absolutely wonderful! The staff is super friendly. The course is very well designed. They give you big plastic souvenir cups at the start and there is an ice machine and filtered water to keep you cool. The driving range is right next to the first tee so you can walk up and hit a few balls before starting your round. The course is beautiful! Many water features, most of which don't come into play but are really nice to look at. The course is not that challenging and doesn't play too long from the tips but it is just challenging enough and a lot of fun! The driving range is grass not mats which is a huge plus. Roy's is the course restaurant and it is a great spot to have a drink and appetizers after your round as it overlooks the beautiful 18th hole. The staff at the snack bar at the turn was rude and had a bad attitude but other than that it was a near perfect day. I highly recommend playing this course you will not be disappointed.

Played two days. Entire staff was great. Starter, Club House staff and cart guy's were attentive to everything I asked for. Head Pro Joe took care of me being a local from Big Island and not have my Local credential.Thanks for a great experience.

Great clubhouse and facilities. Generous fairways but sanded greens were disappointing. Maybe I missed that note when making the tee time? it would have been fun otherwise. First twosome out and less than 3.5 hour round.

I had an amazing experience at this golf course! From the moment we arrived, everything was top-notch. While we were waiting to tee off, we witnessed something truly remarkable from your staff. The course pro, Kamai, sprang into action when one of the guests fell on the course and became unconscious. He quickly ensured the guest was safe and went above and beyond to get the help needed. His quick thinking and professionalism may have even saved the guest's life. It was incredible to see such dedication and care, and it made our visit even more memorable. Highly recommend this place--both for the great course and the exceptional staff!

The course was okay. Not fantastic. There are around three Disney type of water holes which are scenic. But beyond that, the course is about on par with a good municipal course. The Del Monte course in Monterey is hands above as are the Wailea, Kapalua and Kauai golf courses. It's not even in the same stratosphere as any of the courses in Pebble Beach. But the pricing is. It was fun and challenging, but it's cannot be compared to the courses mentioned above. For paying the ~$267.00, the course should be on par with the courses mentioned above. If the fees for visitors were closer to the Kama'aina rates $95 plus tax, it would be more palatable. Some of the staff were helpful and some were down right rude. That's what put me off the most. I guess one rude person can affect a persons perspective as to the entire experience and maybe that's what it was for me. Also as my visit was on a Tuesday, they made us begin on 10, and not the #1 hole. So we weren't able to play the course as it was designed. There reasoning was they were working on the front 9, but golfers were already playing on all holes for the course, so it was a weak argument. That combined with being cheapskates with range balls. They give one small bucket of about 20ish balls and want more $'s if a person wants to hit more balls prior to tee'ing off. For what this course costs. Range balls should be gratis. Fortunately I was paired with some fun folks and we forgot about the s..t attitudes of people at the club helping us get started. And had a good overall experience. The attitudes of staff are the primary reason for this review, and how over stated the course is. I still am giving them 3-stars, so as not to hammer them on what they do right.I will play there again, but I'll be more thoughtful about which day and time I play the course.
