He is knowledgeable (graduate of the Golf Academy of America ) and individualizes his teaching in a way that I can understand and remember by using analogies and props. Andrew teaches both at the driving range and putting green. His feedback is always helpful and on point. I learn something new with each lesson and have seen improvements with my golf swing. His lessons are enjoyable and he makes golf fun. Other golfers have also approached me after my lesson to request Andrew's contact information. That's how good he is!

Andrew is one of the best golf coaches in Hawaii for all skill levels…read more After not having golfed for maybe 10 years, I finally decided to get back into the sport. Prior to my golfing hiatus, I had taken quite a few lessons over the span of a year. My best friend was looking at getting into the sport, so I suggested that she take lessons to build a good foundation for her game. Unfortunately, it was difficult for me to find openings for the golf coach that I previously worked with due to his popularity. I had been using the driving range at Bay View to improve my game. It was there that I casually met Andrew Ka-Ne. I explained that I was looking for a golf coach and talked story with him to get a feel for his overall golf and coaching philosophies. We exchanged contact info and he texted me about his rates and availability. Andrew has the best hourly rates in Hawaii, and provides more instruction and support than other coaches charging double his rates. Simply put, Andrew is an excellent coach and his rates do not accurately reflect the value he provides. Andrew's golf philosophy is a nice blend of old and modern swing theory, supplemented by a strong integration of cutting edge golf technology (i.e. FlightScope Mevo+, swing cameras) and swing aides (i.e. wrist angle straps, alignment tools, ball striking tools, weight transfer board, etc.). Golf as a whole has significantly changed since the time I took lessons and, unlike other coaches, Andrew's view of the game is not stuck in the 1990s, 2000s, or 2010s. After sitting through a few of his lessons with my best friend and seeing her improve significantly, I was convinced that Andrew has a lot to offer. He is knowledgeable and encouraging and he has a very keen eye for spotting problematic swing mechanics. Andrew is very good at designing various drills to accomplish the same thing. He told me that every student learns differently, and it is about teaching in a way that clicks with the student's brain. Many other coaches are rigid in their approach and force their students into swing mechanics that mimic the touring pros (i.e. wrist angle must be exactly X degrees, rotation must be exactly X amount, spine angle must match [insert name] tour pro, etc.). This is not Andrew. He understands that people are built differently and assists his students with creating the most efficient swing within their own physical capabilities and utilizing their personal strengths. One of the things that I admire the most about Andrew is his commitment and dedication to golf. He will be around for decades to come, which is one of the main things I weighed when looking for a coach. Ideally, you want your coach to be available as you continue on your golf journey. This is especially helpful if you hit a plateau or see your scores flattening out. At that point, it is crucial to have a coach that can provide a series of "refresher" lessons to get you back on track. Overall, I think that Andrew has the most comprehensive approach to improving his students' games, and he genuinely cares about the achievement of his students. Without a doubt, Andrew goes above and beyond and exceeds all expectations.

I had some free time while I was on vacation, and kind of last minute decided to take a golf…read morelesson. I sent a text message through the company website, and got an immediate response. As luck would have it, the person who reached out and was available at the time was the head PGA instructor Oliver. I was a little unprepared (no clubs, no gloves), but Oliver was very much go with the flow and was able to accomodate me. He asked me what I wanted to work on, and that's exactly what we did. I improved immensely, because Oliver was able to quickly diagnose the main problems with my swing and explain in an uncomplicated way (without too many "swing thoughts"). I'm excited to go home and practice/implement the changes to my swing.

We were promised a certain price from the Mizuno Rep (Russ Chong) and he told us Oliver (Island Pacific Golf Academy) would bill us and call us when the clubs came in. A week before the clubs came in, our credit card was charged $400 more than the original price. I tried to get a hold of the Mizuno rep with no response and Oliver keeps giving us the run around. To this day he hasn't given us a refund. This was a hard and expensive lesson to learn. Don't do business with Oliver Oliquiano. From other reviews I've read it seems like he has a habit of ripping people off. Shame on him! Especially in Hawaii where the golf community is so tight knit!

I can honestly say that my son looks forward to Golf lessons with Coach Todd every week. So it must be fun. Coach Todd even took some time to help me with me golf swing at one of my son's lessons He showed me why my golf balls always tended to hook when I hit the ball. He showed me what I needed to adjust by looking at my swing one time. He then gave me a couple pointers and a new swing thought and shortly after I shot my lowest score ever. Thanks Coach Todd

Not alot of people playing this course so it is great if you are learning and need some extra time. You wont be rushed and if you are the people are ok with playing through. They have a small pro shop that sells some clubs, balls, hat's, and other golf equipment at pretty good prices. They service is outstanding. Also in the area is a small bar with great service and a pretty good selection of drinks. The ladies are very nice and helpful. Lots of T.Vs so you won't miss the game. They have dive bar prices.

The only issue is that my golf game was greatly lacking. I had been given one off lessons over the years, but they only made my game worse. My dad then surprised me with some lessons with Ken and over four lessons he changed my game substantially. Starting off with my first lesson he asked why I was playing golf, and I explained that is was to have fun with my dad on Saturdays. He then said, so our goal is to make golf more fun and less aggravating. We worked on some fundamentals such as posture and grip. In fact fixing my grip that I had been told by so many other instructors was the best for me, but actually it hampered with my ability to hit the ball correctly. That little bit of change allowed me to actually hit the ball correctly instead of it just dribbling in front of me because my club didn't hit the ball in the middle of the face. The other important change he made is that he allowed me to make my own stance that fit my swing. Other people that had helped me had always commented on my foot placement after swinging, but Ken helped make it work and actually my game improved for it. I was amazed and instantly hooked on his teaching style! The next three lessons we worked chipping, driving, different flights (slice and hook), and improving the way I would be playing golf. The part that really amazed my father is that before I even started lessons, I could not hit my driver. Now I was hitting it consistently over 260 yards! Again a huge thanks to Ken and his coaching. Finally one of the best parts about Ken. He is humble, not pushy, and has real knowledge from golf pros. Everything that he taught me he backed up with facts to explain why it was needed or who had championed the technique. This really makes it easy to understand the teachings he is giving me and even sometimes a few jokes here an there! Now that I am playing to well my dad is now taking lessons with Ken to hopefully up his game and not let me get to far ahead and he has also seen major improvement! I also convinced my wife to take up golf, because of the great experience I was having with Ken and she is already seeing major improvement after only a few lessons. I can't wait to take another lesson and improve my golf game with Ken. He has really made the game less frustrating for me and more fun. Highly recommended!!!
