Joey was thorough, highly intentional, and made the entire process incredibly comfortable. Instead of just handing her clubs, he took the time to explain the reasoning behind every recommendation, which gave us immense confidence in the final build. ​If you want to skip the guesswork and get clubs dialed in perfectly for your swing, go see Joey at Aloha Golf Center. Highly recommended!

There are about 10 stalls with the machine set to virtually determine how far you hit it. You can set what club you're using to see your distance. Just beware of the loud noise when you hit the mat on the wall and you'll have to do some picking up of balls after you hit a good amount. I scared myself the first time! The staff was super nice and it's nice to have an indoor option out of the sun to practice golf. It still got warm but don't worry they also supply a fan at each spot!

The prices are basically what you might find for used clubs on Ebay, except you get your club right away and no shipping because it's LOCAL! You can test out the club for a week and if you don't like it, pay 3% of the club price to return! If it's a set of irons, then $20 to return. AMAZING! I can't wait to try out these clubs I got. So happy places like these exist!

I've spent enough time around golf facilities to appreciate the difference between a place that's…read morebuilt around the game and one that's built around the experience. Bay View strikes an impressive balance between the two. The ball-tracking technology is excellent, the bays are well maintained, and whether you're dialing in wedges, working on dispersion, or just enjoying a casual round with friends, everything works exactly as it should. I've been to Topgolf locations across the mainland, and honestly, Bay View gives them real competition. In some ways, I'd argue it's even better. Instead of staring at parking lots or city skylines, you're hitting balls surrounded by lush tropical scenery with Hawaiian trade winds and mountain views. It's an experience you simply can't recreate on the mainland. The food, drinks, and service all complemented the atmosphere, making it easy to spend several hours here without ever feeling rushed. Whether you're a scratch golfer looking to fine-tune your game or someone just swinging a club for the first time, Bay View has created something special. It's proof that Hawaiʻi can take a great concept and elevate it with a setting no one else can match.

Its $20/bucket, with 2 levels of covered driving range areas. Overall, been here twice and I liked practicing here. Highly recommend!

One thing I really appreciated was how quickly the pace of play moved--I never felt stuck waiting around, which made for an enjoyable experience. That said, the course conditions left a lot to be desired. The greens were very brown and didn't roll particularly well, and many of the fairways looked dry and worn out. It's understandable for a heavily played municipal course, but the maintenance definitely impacts the overall experience. If you're just looking to get out and play a fast, inexpensive round, Ala Wai gets the job done. If pristine course conditions are important to you, you may want to look elsewhere.

This is probably one of the worst golf courses on the island, which is disappointing because it has…read morea lot of potential. My biggest concern is the driving range. The divots are so close together and uneven that balls can easily ricochet back toward players. It honestly feels like an accident is waiting to happen. It costs $15 to use the range, but there are several other places at the same price point that offer much better conditions and overall quality. The staff also felt disengaged. When I was grabbing my balls and tried to say hello and thank you, it was clear they did not want to be there. If you are in Hawaii and just want to golf cheaply and skip the range, this could be an okay option. If you are looking for a better overall golf experience, Bayview Golf Course is farther away but offers much more of the Hawaii feel. That said, the views are nice, with clear sights of Diamond Head and surrounding high rises.

Also contrasting is the fact that Hawaii Prince is free to play and eat there and Oahu Country Club is for members only, and we are talking very exclusive and invite-only. I saw Barak Obama's face on the wall of members out of hundreds. I am sure I could spend hours looking at all the photos and names and recognize a few big names. The 100 yr old birthday party was hosted by my well-to-do friends, it was their mother/grandmother, so this was a special event for sure. The banquet servers were very attentive and the endless mimosas kept coming. The appetizers were the best thing - crunchy veggie spring rolls, ahi won tons, cucumber with smoked salmon and soft steamed pork bao. For our main course it was ahi steaks in creamy brown butter sauce and a scoop of white rice, or filet mignon. I had the ahi steaks and they were cooked to perfection! The entertainment was hired by my friend, a local newscaster who was a complete and utter hoot who made the entire party fun! Some of us sang very bad karaoke and I felt sorry for the baby shower next door! Our bartender around the corner was Keith, and he was stellar! I wish I had cash to tip him but I came to the Country Club empty-handed. Maybe I can convince my friend to take me back for cocktails so I can tip him very well. Cosmos were super good, liquid bliss and super smooth. The grounds are other worldly beautiful, with soaring mountains and forest in the background and the ocean facing the other way. I don't play golf but hear this course is super difficult but even if you play horribly at least you have the views to soak in. Lifestyles of the rich and famous, so awesome. I retreat back into my scratched-up car, second-hand dress and bag and Nordstrom Rack shoes a few years too old and dream of a day I can come back here again.

I had always looked forward to playing golf once I moved to Hawaii, so while I was still in Japan,…read moreI took lessons diligently with a professional. However, my shoulder unfortunately developed a recurring dislocation that worsened over time, and I was forced to give up golf despite my reluctance. Even so, thanks to my golf-loving friends, I still feel excited just looking at a beautiful green, even if I can't play anymore. This time, I visited Oahu Country Club for a party hosted by my lawyer's firm. The event was held in a private banquet room overlooking the lush greens, and it was a wonderful experience with delicious food, drinks, and pleasant live music. As expected, the clubhouse cuisine was refined and impressive. There was even a nigiri sushi station, which made me especially happy as a Japanese guest. The club is conveniently located about a 14-15 minute drive from my home. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that even non-golfers can become members, so I immediately started looking into it (laugh). After all, being able to enjoy great food and wine while taking in such a beautiful view sounded very appealing. Unfortunately, the membership fee comes with about six zeros in USD, and we quickly gave up the idea... That said, it definitely reignited my passion for golf. The course at Oahu Country Club is set within a forest and features significant elevation changes, making it quite challenging for beginners. However, it offers a fantastic opportunity to enjoy golf surrounded by nature. The clubhouse itself has a casual atmosphere, but there is a dress code--such as wearing collared shirts--so don't forget to check your outfit before heading in for a meal. ハワイに住んだらゴルフを楽しもうと決めていたので、日本ではプロについて熱心にレッスンに通っていました。ところが、まさかの肩の脱臼が癖になり悪化してしまい、泣く泣くゴルフを諦めざるを得なくなりました。 それでもゴルフ好きな友人の影響もあり、たとえプレーができなくても、今でもグリーンを見るだけでワクワクします。 今回は弁護士の会社が主催するパーティーで、オアフカントリークラブを訪れました。バンケットルームを貸し切ったパーティーでは、グリーンを一望しながら、美味しい料理とお酒、そして心地よいライブミュージックを楽しむことができ、大いに盛り上がりました。 期待通り、クラブハウスの料理は洗練されていて、握り寿司のコーナーもあり、日本人の私には特に嬉しかったです。 オアフカントリークラブは自宅から車で14〜15分ほどの距離にあり、ゴルフをしない私たちでもメンバーになれると知って、早速いろいろ調べてみました。というのも、この景色を眺めながらワイン片手に美味しい料理が楽しめるなら、ノンゴルファーでも会員になりたいと思ったからです。 しかし残念ながら、メンバーシップ費用はドルでゼロが6つ並ぶほどの高額で、それを見た瞬間あっさり断念しました...(笑笑 それでも、ゴルフへの情熱が再燃したことは間違いありません。 オアフカントリーのコースは森林の中にあり、起伏が激しく初心者には少しハードですが、大自然の中でゴルフを満喫できる魅力的なコースだと思います。 クラブハウスはカジュアルな雰囲気ですが、基本的に襟付きシャツ着用などのドレスコードがあります。食事の際には、服装チェックをお忘れなく!
