Flew over yesterday and had a great Hawaiian Thanksgiving. Got up early today to play here. So many times visiting HI and yet never came to Kaua'i but I finally made it. What a great golf course. And I am glad I invested in a Troon Access card because it saved me a lot of $$ today. Beautifully maintained course and great views from just about everywhere. Tee boxes are great. Fairways are wide and provided great lies and roll out. Only in one bunker and it played great. Greens are superb and wonderful to putt on. Had lunch at the grill afterwards and found the food excellent and the prices suprisingly really reasonable. Accomodations at the Westin are terrific. Rented a 1 bedroom villa that was bigger than my first apartment when I was a young bachelor. Yes there are great courses on the other Islands but I will put this one in the top 5 I have played in HI over the years. Highly recommended.

Played last week Feb 12th for my honeymoon week. Has to be the most scenic golf course i have played. Oceans views on maybe 7 of the holes, Lakes on maybe 5-6 holes. Course conditions are almost immaculate. Greens are almost putting on carpet. Fairways are better than most california munis. Bunkers were nice and raked and pace of play was about 3 and half hours. Marshalls come around with pineapple slices for the golfers. A must play in the Kauai Islands of Hawaii

The Makai course is located nicely near the Westin Princeville Resort. I'll start with the good. There are some very cool holes with shots over the ocean/canyon to greens, as well as a par 3 with a great view of the ocean and a huge drop off the tee box. The course was not very busy, and we played as a twosome in about 3.5 hours. The greens were in great condition, most were fairly large. The fairways were a little wet due to some sporadic heavy rain, which made them a little soggy, but overall the course was in great condition.

For the not so good, this course costs the same or more than the Prince course depending on the hotel you stay at and it cannot compare. The service here was lacking from the moment we drove up. The clubhouse doesn't seem interested in your visit, and for some reason there was no cart service on the course for that day. I highly recommend playing the Prince course instead of this course, as the service and the quality are much better. If this course was 50-100 dollars less, I would be less harsh, but this is not worth the current cost.
