Pali Golf Course

If you need a tee time/walk on last minute, this is the city course for you! Regular tee times are to be scheduled a week in advance at the earliest. All golfers need to be there to check in or they will not check your group in. Lots of parking right outside of the golf course which makes it super convenient. If it rains, it'll be a bit muddy on the course so he prepared to get mud on your shoes! Overall, It's a good city golf course and reasonable for those who have the resident card. Very nice views everywhere since there's so much greenery around!

Definitely one of the friendlier municipal courses on the island. Amenity wise it's bare minimal and grounds are not perfectly manicured, the way I look at it though is it's not a "fun and leisurely" course but simply a great practice course for the following reasons -- Course is long. You get to practice your woods / hybrids pretty much every hole. If you're walking the course that helps develop your sense of distance.- Did I mention that grounds are not perfectly manicured? Look on the bright side of that - you learn to hit off and adjust to different terrains. - Lots of slopes. Forces you to be extra thoughtful about distance / practice hitting off steep slopes.- Course is by the mountains and scenic. Really helps to have that when you're struggling with the round.- Cheap. $28 (weekdays) / $32 (weekends) with a golf card.- Not crowded. Not having people on your tail all the time helps you focus on your practice.

I last played here some 20 years ago and was rained out on the third or fourth hole. The course was already a mud pit so we turned back and went in. Of course they refused any credit despite the conditions and weather. Not impressed. Two weeks ago my golfing buddies said we ought to play Pali. They knew my story but I did agree to play. It was beautiful weather but no trade winds at all on the front nine. The course isn't the best track it has some wierd holes but works. The issue is that the fairways were in terrible shape not mowed for maybe a week. Arghhhh. So no roll on them. Might as well play out of the rough. The greens were punch a week earlier so I'll give them that but they weren't mowed hardly either. Bottom line. It may take me another 20 years before I play. My suggestion is to turn the place into a cemetery. It's a beautiful area but very wet. At least as a cemetery it would get more use from folks like me.

Played here a few times now and it is a nice course to get 'your money's worth' with long links. Some really nice holes to play. It gets 3 stars because each time we've gone there are people who don't know golf etiquette and it affects my game. The last time we went out with an elderly couple and behind us were 3 carts-5guys. Each of them hit into us on the first hole from the tee and again on the green. I drove back to them to ask why--they each said the same thing: that wasn't me. Well that ball was yours that other ball was the other guy. Each guy same answer-Yeah yeah I didn't know -that was my first ball. I didn't know how far. After 3 balls come up to and past the green while we are still on it I drive back again. I tell the first cart and then the 2nd cart So I say-well after the first ball went why did you hit again? You don't know how far you can hit? They all insist they didn't know. So I tell the 2 guys -cant you see there are 2 kupuna up there? If you hit the old guy you can take him down! One more ball too close and I'm calling it in to the Marshall and tell them to take you guys out--you are dangerous! You can't say I don't know--if you don't know-you wait-if you don't know-you are too junk to play and shouldn't be out here! At that-one of the men scowled and said I told you we didn't know! We can other control the other guys! I said of course you can't control other people's balls but I'm talking about you. That was your ball-right? Went past the old guy over the green? Fine! Don't worry about it-just play how you want-but next one -I don't care who or how-if it comes less than 20 yards from us I'm calling it in. Do whatever you want. But if you don't care about the old man if you hit me-Im sending you my doctor bill and sueing you if I get hurt because if you didn't know-now you do and now you are responsible. At this point they said they were pressed from behind by a 4some. I told them we were all backed up--we were behind 3 4somes-waiting for them so nobody was going to be speeding past that day--just relax and play. They gave us more space and it was ok after that. I HATE people who hit into you--it is very rude and dangerous. And before people comment--no I am not one of those golfers who are oblivous--we pick up if I blowout a hole and double par or fall a hole behind. We will play best ball if we are struggling that day. We don't go off searching for balls in the rough. We don't hit 3 or 4 balls till we are happy with our strokes if people are behind. We don't drive back and replay a hole because we didn't like the first one. We don't drive past while the other golfer is playing to cut in ahead and then make that golfer wait because you aren't really that good.Oh--wait a minute--yes these are the other kind of golfer who doesn't follow etiquette that disturbs the rhythm and enjoyment of other golfers. I'm writing all this because I do think some courses are better and worse with etiquette so this affects the score it gets. Whether it is the Marshall or the price that determines the quality of golfer-I'm not sure. Royal Hawaiian is usually pleasant but Fazio has been 50-50 with etiquette.

I had hoped to play this course while visiting the island but the day that I went to grab a tee time, they actually closed the course early since no one was scheduled to play. I took the long drive up the narrow road to the clubhouse and was able to chat with the cart attendant who told me they had shut down early for the day. Nevertheless, he said it was okay to walk around a bit which I did and was sad I wasn't able to jump on. I hope to be back again and this will be on my list of courses to play!

Rough grass that's hard to hit off . Carts are outdated and this place is older and not kept up. Only played 9 holes as the cut off for 18 holes was a tee time of earlier than 1:00 .

It wasn't too long that Pali golf course greens were looking really good! Lush and green but slow. Unfortunately now the weeds have taken over and the greens are not very good. This makes it even tougher when you play this course. There is no roll at all! The ball just dies.If you don't hit it long all you do is suffer all day.There is no real fairway grass like most courses. It's like the grass in your back yard. Flyers are common. It's crazy because the course is hard as well.The staff is nice overall. I guess if you can play good here then you can probably play better at other municipal courses on the island.

Sorta friendly starter and pro shop. They're all business. Be ready or you'll hear their wrath. Non-locals will be charge $86 green fee, $26 cart fee, $30 club rental. I recommend you bring your own glove, ball, tees and hat to a save some money. Layout is fair, most of their fairways are lush, a few sand traps however the greens are trash. They use a paspalum grass which isnt maintained properly therefore the greens are thick, bumpy, patchy and MF slow as molasses. Hard to read the break so just guess it will break towards ocean (opposite of mountains). I got lucky with club rental that had a partial set of Titleist DCI and TM M2 3w but knockoff putter and hyb sucked. Glad I got to play and price was much cheaper than other courses. prob won't be back due to greens being so slow. Btw...locals are able to play 5 & 6somes.

Course is fun but the starter worker is so slow. We had a 7:15 tee time and didn't get on until 8. We got there 30 mins before our tee time and we were waiting because he piled up groups.

Amazing scenic views on this golf course for a good price compared to the other courses on the island. Golf course is in just okay shape and is pretty easy to most holes just go straight. You can easily get a tee time here the day before or maybe even the day of. Great if you're looking to get a quick round in but if you're looking for more challenging golf courses, I would look elsewhere.
