Great course to learn how to play, with no pressure. Super friendly staff, nicely maintained greens and the price can't be beat. They also offer night golf, which was great minus there being a few lights out. Regardless 10/10! Thanks guys!

Nice little Par 3 course. Greens are alright and there is grass on the fairways. Good place to practice approach shots. Chipping and putting greens available. Bar next door.

I enjoy this par 3 course. I am just learning how to golf really, and it's a good place to start. Costs are reasonable, and they have equipment rentals as well. I especially like that they have night golf, since I work in Waikiki and by the time I get off and home, most coarses are closed. Final tee time is at 8 pm. They have a nice putting green and a chipping green to get a pretty all-around practice or warm up in before your round. They have a kickball golf course built in as well, so you can bring your little ones for that experience! There is a small bar there as well. Hole 9 is by far their longest hole, which is almost as long as a par 4 (seems that way to me). All in all, I highly recommend this course for those with base access.

Excellent place to practice golf. Two par 4's and the rest are par 3's. It is not in the best of shape except the greens which are good and fast.

Really enjoyed taking my son here. Perfect 9 hole course for beginners and novice. Staff is great, but they don’t serve food. I recommend bringing snacks or pack something if you’re planning on going 18. Additionally, if you’re expecting a quicker pace, this might not be the place to go. Majority of the people here walks. It is a short course, but it’s also a PAR 3 so keep in mind, you would have to wait for them to completely get off the green.
