Waialae Country Club

Attended Sony golf open tournament January 2025. Spacious golf course that can easily accommodate large spectator crowds. And blessedly this tournament was not heavily attended. Could stand right on the ropes up close to the action. I followed the leaders, plenty of breathing room. $40 admission fee per day is a bargain compared to many PGA tournaments.

Having a lovely ladies luncheon at this scenic Country Club! Spectacular views of the blue ocean! So relaxing and serene! What a treat to be invited! The menu is extensive with Starters, Salad, Soup, Sandwiches, and Entrees, Drinks and Desserts! Our host ordered some starters for all of us to sample and share: fresh crispy addicting potato chips and scrumptious Signature Poke Limu Musubi! I ordered the Lobster Roll: Maine Lobster Salad, Lettuce, Lemon on Toasted Brioche Bun which was very delicious!The S'mores desert too rich! Decadence chocolate toasted meringue with graham cracker crumbs on the side. Will order the Mud Pie next time!

This review is for the Hawaiian food served here during private party events. Have been here a few times now, always for the Hawaiian food during private parties and I have to say, have never been disappointed. The Hawaiian food served is always memorable and with great variety. My favorite on the buffet line definitely the squid luau! Also enjoyed the kalua pig and laulaus. Everything looked extra fresh including the poi, lomi salmon, fresh fruits and salads. Desserts included coconut cake and a most memorable haupia coconut pudding. The entertainment has varied as it just depends who is hired to entertain. It has always been memorable. Tonight musicians and dancers brought in from the outstanding Polynesian Cultural Center.Parking for large events has always been via valet service. There really is no alternative parking options. Unfortunately. Still, a minor in convenience.Would I come back here again? I would clear my calendar to be able to enjoy the excellent service and lovely oceanfront atmosphere!

Service was superb. The buffet had expansive selection and replaced/refilled frequently.

Waialae Country Club offers a wonderful dining experience featuring favorite island cuisine in an indulgent beachside setting. We were treated to a fabulous luncheon with our favorite cousins in this upscale, relaxing setting. My husband and I ordered the popular slow-cooked oxtail soup! It normally comes with white rice but I asked for thin won ton mein noodles instead and boy was I delighted! The soup was so flavorful and the noodles were the perfect accompaniment to it. It soaked up all that rich broth! So onolicious! With its distinctive selections, friendly staff, and inviting dining room, if you're ever lucky enough to visit this elegant, comfortable eatery just take the time to enjoy the club's rich legacy and traditions. You'll be so happy you did!

Dinner in Kahala, Honolulu, Hawaii...When Paul C. invited me to an All You Can Eat buffet at the Waialae Country Club, I had to accept. How many times have I had an opportunity to visit this exclusive venue in the past? None...Of course, this is a fancy Country Club on beachfront property (Kahala Beach) in a high-end district of Honolulu. Check out the pristine landscaping, the perfect decorations, the luxurious restroom (with heated toilet seats), and entertaining player piano in the lobby!The food was delicious! I liked the scallops and shrimp entrée the most! The various salads, fresh fruits, and desserts were fabulous!The service was exceptional, professional, and courteous. Our iced teas were filled automatically. I had a crumpled up wrapper from my disposable chopsticks beside me, and it magically disappeared. This was a classy venue with a beautiful view and free parking. All guests should feel comfortable here!Thanks to Paul C. for the invitation to L&L's Company party! Even the co-owner, Eddie Flores, was present! The party favors included gift cards, mini cookies, and chocolates! Some of the door prizes were donated by the vendors and were given as awards for the games and Ugly Sweater Contest.CONGRATULATIONS to Paul for winning one of the Grand Prizes: an air fryer! It's something he said he needed and hoped to win... proving that wishes can and do come true!

Went for a seminar put on by Wendy Pang and they had a Hawaiian food buffet for dinner at Waialae Country Club.They also had live music and performances by Polynesian Cultural Center. Her seminar is always informative and interesting besides entertaining and great food!The food was very good with lots of variety and a dessert table of coconut cake and Haupia pudding. The only thing missing was the chili pepper water, overall everything was great the staff service was excellent.Parking was crazy, they backed up the cars on to the street blocking traffic, because they wanted to do valet parking which they had a person telling everyone to drive up to the front.A lot of people attending got fed up with the long lines they just parked their cars themself which turned out to be a smart idea, because after the seminar their were lines of people line up back to the hall waiting to give the valet attendant their tickets to bring their car.It was such a terrible mess, they should have just let people park their own cars instead of telling everyone you have to drive all the way up to the valet station. It would have freed up the congestion going into the parking lot and the congestion when leaving.

Has great facilities. Hosts the Sony Open. There is ample parking around kahala. The Pro Shop is well stocked with golf items galore.

This place is immaculate. The clubhouse is on the oceanside next to the Kahala Hotel. The golf course is across the street from the clubhouse. I'm not sure who the chef is at this place, but compliments to him/her. The food was outstanding and so were the desserts. The kalbi braised short ribs were to die for. It was tender and moist with just the right amount of fat. The Waialae bread pudding with creme anglaise sauce was so good that I wanted to take the whole tray home. I would have snuck it out if I didn't think that anyone would notice, lol. The bathrooms here are fancy. It has a whole area to lounge in. They have bidet toilet seats that warms your behind when you sit on it. They host the Sony Open every year. I'm not really into golf, but don't tell them that. I'm just here for the food, haha. Yup, I said it. My dad is about to disown me as he's a big golf nut.

Though a private club and difficult to get on it is a great course. The Sony Open has been here for many years. I hope Guly recommend those unable to play this course to get out in person and watch the open. It's absolutely fantastic the grounds personnel have again outdone themselves. It's only Tuesday and we have the rest of the week for the excitement to begin. Of course the Sony Open team has done an outstanding job of making this a event. We'll see how it goes. For those unable to see in person of course it's fully televised.
