Navy Marine Golf Course

One of our favorite courses on the island, beautiful grass and well kept tee blocks, fairways, greens, sand. There is one par three without water and it looks a little yucky, but we just hit the green and drive on by. Awesome places to practice putting and chipping as well as driving range (mats most of the day but you can hit off grass on the weekends). The employees in the pro shop are nice and efficient, they keep the pace of play moving along without making you feel rushed either. Some courses has such close tee times, no matter how quickly you play you're still getting hit into which is no fun. Twilight hours after 2pm (nine holes only) but for 1/2 the cost so it's a great deal! Grab some besties and get out here! TIPS & TRICKS: * Keep an eye out for the fighter jets that will fly overhead, you'll be feeling super patriotic by the end of your round!

If you're a golfer, then you must try a challenging round at the Navy Marine Golf Course. This course is centrally located in the heart of Honolulu, close to the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport. Overall, a very enjoyable course due to their well-maintained and nicely placed greens, bunkers and water hazards. Fairly level throughout the course, with some slight elevation changes. Note: you'll need to have a DoD or military ID card to play or have someone sponsor you in order to play.

I guess I would call Navy Marine Golf Course my home course on the island, I've played it enough to call it home. I can't believe I have never written a review for this course, shame on me. The course is complete with an amazing pro shop that sells everything you need, driving range that is perfect for practicing driving and chipping, putting green and 604 Mangiamo Italian Restaurant on the second floor. It's definitely one of the best golf courses in the DoD and a fun course to play and you can't beat the prices. The course can be challenging at times, focus on one shot at a time. You need to have a DoD or military ID card to play or have someone sponsor you in order to play. The staff does an amazing job keeping this golf course in great shape, from the greens to the fairways. The staff also do a super job keeping play moving. It's often crowded, but they do everything they can to get you out on the course. Twilight starts at 3:30 and during the week not very crowded. Weekends and early mornings recommend making a tee time.If you haven't played Navy Marine yet, definitely give it a shot. You won't be disappointed.

Navy Marine Golf Course in Honolulu provides an excellent open 18 hole golf course great for finding your ball when it doesn't fly exactly straight.Note you do a need a military sponsor to play on this course as it is a military golf course. Located right near Daniel K. Inouye International Airport Navy Marine has open fairways which offer varying amounts of difficulty depending where the pin is located. Great for hitters who can blast the ball past 250 yards leaving you 165 - 180 yard shot for most of the par 4s. Conditions are always great as the grass is well maintained. This course gets super busy with groups and locals but nonetheless a great experience if you have the chance to play.

This review is for the driving range. We went to eat at 604 so we didn't have any golf clubs with us when we decided to check out the driving range. Graciously we were allowed to borrow practice clubs.The basket of balls are super affordable. You have to be military or have a sponsor to purchase the basket. The range is nicely maintained. We were also allowed to bring some a bucket of beer from 604 express to stay hydrated at the range.

Negatives:Interacting with the staff at this course was one of the worst experiences at a business I've ever had. If you're not in the good old boys club then you can't have certain "privileges". An example would be playing by yourself, taking a cart out for 18 after 1:30, playing with a fivesome.To clarify, whoever is running the clubhouse makes up rules as they go, playing favoritism towards individuals and loosing money for their business. They should be fired.People who work are punished if they want to play 18 holes. They state, "if we let you take the cart out for 18 you won't finish before 6". I left the location, drive to another course, hit two buckets of balls and played 18 holes all before 6pm the same day. They expect people there do not know common golf courtesy, I.e. allowing smaller/faster groups to play through. If you're not apart of the old boys club then you're talked down to and treated awfully. This clubhouse needs to hire in people that understand golf and understand running a business. If I could I would give 0 stars. Final note: Every new person arriving in island, I tell them to take their money and time elsewhere.

This course as compared to most muni's and all other military courses has them all beat. Hands down. The new club carts are great. Ok no built in gps and BS. But who needs it if you have a smart phone or watch or range finder. The course condition is darn near perfect. And has been for many years. Ok all courses have to punch the greens fairways etc. but they at least tell you before or while you make your tee time. The staff are great. And polite. I'm retired Navy and I will continue to play this course. Everyone needs to give it a shot.

I Grew up around this area most of my younger years, and then after joining the Army at 18, I was driving by weekly when the N.E.X opened in the early 2000's. I was one of those guys who Drove by hole 11 & 12 blowing my horn at whoever was teeing off or putting lol and now I'm on the receiving end lol I've since moved to the west side, but if I was still living in town, I'd be golfing here every week. I've been to all the military courses on the Island and in my opinion it's one of the best. Klippers has hole 13 with that beautiful ocean view but all around Navy Marine. It's Well maintained and flat. If you slice a lot like myself, your still in play, just on the wrong fairway lol. Also not as much O.B like Barbers Point hehe, and always easy to get on, unless RIMPAC is in town then good luck lol. guys at the front desk are awesome, then you have 604 at the turn so not bad.

Player friendly course. Historic tee markers honoring those who Congressional Metals of Honor for heroism on December 7, 1941. Each green is marked by 7 Royal Palms. Great greens. Plenty of water stops along the way so you are not forced to but overpriced bottles of water like some local courses. The only negative is that the refreshment shack is not manned anymore.

Very nice staff and reasonable prices. I recommend yo my stop by here when you can to play.
