Send your crew to Costco (3 blocks away) while you get your golf gear straightened out at this place. They re-gripped my husband's irons and my putter in like 30 minutes! They are so nice in here!

Better than Hualalai, Mauna Kea, Mauna Lani, Hapuna and other highly-rated Big Island courses. The course itself is both challenging and fun. The design is everything you'd want in an ocean-front Hawaii resort experience. The front nine winds through the lava landscape, complete with lava caves similar to those found along the Petroglyph trails. The back follows the ocean and beach. The holes are visually interesting and both challenge and reward different aspects of your game. The course was only part of the reason Kohanaiki was one of the most enjoyable golf experiences I have ever had. The service and the staff are first rate. There are elaborate "comfort stations" every 6 holes, replete with every refreshment and amenity you could desire. An exploration of each is required to discover the treasures they hold. Kohanaiki is a private resort, so not open to everyone. If you can get on, you'll love it. Kerry Ricketts

You gotta be able to hit straight or draw/fade on command with 100-150 or more carry off the tees... and the birds/wildlife from tiny green mejiro to majestic peacocks (some albino), pheasants and turkeys! It's all-in-all a fun course not meant to be beat or taken too seriously

However, speaking on the actual course - conditions, pace of play, marshall's - all terrible. You have marshall's coming around to hassle you over a 15 year old driving a golf cart without a drivers license, but drive right by a group of 5 local jackasses taking 10 minutes on the green and cussing up a storm in front of keiki. Greens look like they were literally burned, or bombed. Every fairway dry but you can't drive on them. For 90$ per person, absolutely unacceptable course management and conditions. One of the worst value courses on the island.

In addition to the videos to analyze your individual swing, he asks the right questions so that one can be more self sufficient and be able to self-evaluate.

They gave us reusable water bottles to use for our stay to reduce waste they gave us leis upon arrival. They had made a manta out of towels that they placed on the bed- so fancy! They also provided banana bread, Nutella, and shortbread cookies on the table of the hotel room. The view was AMAZING and the ocean is perfect to swim in at any time of day. Many free activities offered daily. There are some nice restaurants on site- serves breakfast and dinner (at the Manta). I hope to get to come back someday.

He is kept alone in a small cage tucked under a staircase, away from where guests walk, open to the ocean breeze. There was a bare perch and nothing else in the cage. No toys, no companion bird, nothing to do. The cage looked too small for him to fly or fully spread his wings. He did not move the entire time I stood there and did not react when I came up to him. I understand a sanctuary on this island has offered to take him and that a public petition has been circulating since 2024. A resort of this caliber can do better, and I hope it will.
