It was a great course with a few bunkers and other hazards in play, but over all an easy course to navigate. I paired Kings Nine with Lakes. That was fun. Next will be kings and beach nine.
Ed O'Connor
Played Kings 9. And then lakes 9. Enjoyed the course, pictures don't do it justice, but unique track due to the lava rocks! Looking forward to playing it again and adding the beach 9 holes to my next outing!

Wildly overrated and outrageously overpriced to boot. Although the STAFF were highly professional, helpful, et al, the GREENS were THE WORST. Honestly, I’ve played on better greens at $10 public courses. These green fees might be reasonable at $50-$75 simply because the layout is grand with lava fields and occasional ocean views. Unless you are not keeping score, I’d advise ANY OTHER course. Period.

They have three 9 hole courses, the King, Lakes and Ocean. The courses are in good condition and friendly staff. Wide fairways but still challenging. Their online pricing was confusing. I selected the Kings course and Lakes Course and prices showed for that selection it was $89 As it turned out that was for EACH nine holed so total was $178. Selecting the Ocean nine hole increases the total about another $40..

It’s a beautiful golf course with the Pacific Ocean beside it. Can’t ask for more

My reservation for two days, which was booked at the reception the evening before, had disappeared the next morning on the playing day. Looking at the screen of booking staffs, two days are different screens, so I feel malice. It is extremely unpleasant due to poor management.
