    Henry P.

    So I just realized that I haven't provided a review for our dear Coach and friend Coach Oliver. Our son Henry IV (everyone knows as IV) has been with coach Oliver (IPGA) since beginning of Kindergarten DEC 2018. In the past 3 years, we have seen our son grow and come a long way from where he actively can play in sanctioned leagues and tournaments. (US Kids golf & Jr PGA) Coach Oliver and all of his staff (Coaches / Instructors) are great with kids. They're always trying to motivate them in a positive environment while teaching them learning can be fun. Good Sportsmanship is also highly encouraged at all times. He has given our son the opportunity to even play at many private golf courses that many people in hawaii (like myself) won't ever have the opportunity to play. Thank you Coach Oliver and staff for all you folks have done thus far for our son (IV) and looking forward to seeing all the great things you folks will be teaching / mentoring him in the near and far future.

    I recently just started swinging a golf club (just a few weeks) I am 100% happy and thankful that I found Coach O to teach me for my first lesson! Coach O was super knowledgeable, easy to learn and take notes from. I feel like my swing took a complete 360 by the end of the lesson and I feel so much more comfortable. I can't wait to get home to practice and improve more from what he has taught me. This was such a fun and beautiful experience. I walked away with a smile on my face and feeling much more confident. Thank you so much and I appreciate Coach O! I hope to return back to Hawaii and the first thing I will be booking will be another lesson! 10/10 experience for sure!

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 don't golf, so this review is only for the restaurant/buffet/venue. The parking lot closer to the restaurant has a limited amount of stalls, so I was glad I arrived on-time (and not 'casual' time), I got one of the two empty stalls by the tennis court and some of my friends had to park in a farther lot off to left of the restaurant. Parking is free. The restaurant venue was nice, mostly open-air, including the buffet, which I found a little dismaying with all the flies making a bee-line for the uncovered stuff. The food was one of the most disappointing things I have encountered - beef stew, beef with eggplant and some kind of chicken. Rice was a bit hard because it was left uncovered and dried out pretty quick. Salad looked like it came straight out of the bag. New England Clam Chowder was congealed and flavorless so I had to ask for salt. I don't eat meat or raw fish (they had poke) so I had to rely on salad, clam chowder and rice, which I normally would not mind (I love clam chowder), but the chowder was pretty bad, don't think I had buffet food at a golf course this sub-standard before. Desserts were a lot better; haupia, cake slices and small cheesecakes. The women's bathroom was air conditioned! Plus for that! The venue was just OK, the sound system in there was awful. Not sure if people hosting the event needed to bring their own sound systems or if it belonged to the golf course, but if it was owned by the golf course, they better improve on that! I could not rate this place a 4-star after going to the 5-star Oahu Country Club the next day.

They were running a special for $225/player (normally $275) with a 10-day advanced booking. They need a credit card to hold the reservation and you pay upon arrival. We had a 10:50 tee time and everything ran on time and check-in was smooth. Once checked-in, you'll present your receipt to the staffer who will give you a small bucket of balls. They took our clubs at the parking lot stand and placed the clubs on our cart. We grabbed a few clubs and walked over to the grass range, which was in decent shape. The course is great for all skill levels because it's pretty wide open and very well manicured. The rough is cut down pretty low so even if you miss the fairway, you still gotta shot at it. Playing the blues, the course is pretty long but manageable. The greens were in great shape and bunkers were great looking, although luckily I didn't have to play out of any of them. While it's a well maintained course, I thought the layout was kinda boring and predictable. Lots of good views and photo ops around the course, although the course has minimal ocean views. We had some vouchers from our hotel which we could use at the pro shop but not the snack bar. We ended up with a couple of bag tags, ball markers and a logo ball (gift set) which they engrave your name in the bag tag which is pretty cool for $20 for everything. The rest of the pro shop is pretty pricey though. Overall, glad we got to play it. I think the price point is what would keep me from playing again, but it's hard to beat when it's less than 5 minutes from our hotel. We got paired with a great couple, shout out Chuck and Cindy who were also visiting. It made for a memorable and fun day out on the course.
