Staff is very hospitable. The course is in great shape. It's s nice blend of difficulty and fairness. One of my favorites to play on Oahu.

Visiting and staying in the Ko Olina area, we knew we had to play one of the premier courses on the island of Oahu. 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. read more

Probably the nicest golf course I've ever been to. From the time you arrive the time you leave you truly are treated like royalty. The variety of option from the pro shop to the concessions was great! I don't have a membership there but you can absolutely tell that current members are definitely getting their money's worth. read more

I can't say enough good things about Ko Olina Golf Club. I am so grateful for their beginner golf classes. They completely changed how I feel about the sport. As someone who is brand new to golf, I always thought it was intimidating and honestly feared making a fool of myself on a real course. Thanks to these classes, I've gained the confidence to actually get out there and enjoy the game. A huge shoutout to Katie Manlolo and Kamai Lucas for being such incredible teachers. They are patient, encouraging, and truly make learning fun. Their positive energy and kindness made every lesson something I looked forward to. Everyone who works here helps create such a welcoming and supportive environment. It is hands down the friendliest golf course. I'm so thankful for the confidence I've gained and hope to continue coming back for many years to come. read more

Beautiful course and polite and courteous staff. The course can be muddy in several places and plays differently than most courses on the mainland. The restroom situation however is a mess and quite poor for a course at this quality. I would say there are better courses to play on the island. read more

This is a great course, and I've played it many times. But now, the rates keep climbing. And since they did away with the free shuttle from Waikiki hotels (now charging $80), the value has decreased. Between the higher rate and the shuttle, you're paying $150 more than just a couple of years ago. While I like the staff, amenities, pro shop, and the excellent cafe, I'm afraid won't be playing here as much. read more

What an experience! Everyone was so welcoming. Felt like we were at a 5-start resort. The hospitality was amazing. The greens were well kept. The rental clubs were a year old (qi10's and p790's). The carts were a couple months old. Jason was incredibly helpful setting us up for our tee time and Ashley was beyond selfless as she opened up the food bar early for our early tee time. Thank you for making my dad's 80th birthday a memorable one! read more

Ko Olina Golf Club - 18th - Golf Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

Excellent tourist resort golf course and facilities. From arrival golf bag drop off until you are returned 5 hours later to your car in the parking lot on the shuttle bus this place is a class act. January 2025: The course condition is excellent. Fairway grass is green and consistent. Putting greens are astroturf smooth, though not particularly fast. (If you want to experience fast putting greens head over to Ewa Beach golf club). Practice range balls small bucket is included with green fee. Balls are in excellent condition. Golf carts are in excellent condition. All personnel, and there are a lot of them, were friendly, helpful and cheerful. Plan on a 4 hour 45 minute round. This place is so scenic and fun to play you will not regret the slowish pace of play. I've played 7 golf courses on O'ahu, this one is the most luxurious, Of course it is also the most expensive. read more

Went to Ko Alina with my wife while we were on vacation. Not only is this a great overall resort style golf course but the Customer Service and all of the small extra details. Put this nearly out of class of a private country club. It's fairly expensive for a public course but you get what you pay for here. The service is great. The entire staff throughout the entire day was outstanding possibly the best service I've ever received at any golf course. Everywhere is very well maintained and we had an outstanding time. Will be back soon. read more

My sister and I played here on a recent trip to Hawaii. It is on the pricy side but the course was beautifully maintained. Everyone who helped us from the pro shop to the lady working the starter station to the nice man at cart return who gave us a ride back to our hotel in his golf cart. They even let us go out as a twosome instead of with the other two who had the same tee time. It was a fun course and even had a Mickey face sand trap which was a nice touch. Overall well worth the money! read more

What an amazingly beautiful course! Played here this week and were lucky to avoid the heavy rain. The staff were friendly and very helpful. We played 18 holes, which included balls, tees and ball markers. The rented clubs were in great shape. Along the course, the bathrooms were a bit run down and water fountain didn't work, the snack shack was just ok although the team was nice. We did feel rushed at every interaction of the experience. Rushed to warm up, pace of play reminders on the cart, and the Marshall even split our group at the 3rd hole even though we were not that slow. Overall a super nice course but at a steep price and you will be rushed through. read more

Great time at Ko Olina. Staff was excellent, very helpful and courteous. Course was in fantastic shape, complimentary practice balls were nice for warm up. Golf carts were great and on course assistance was present as well as snack cart came around several times during the round. Highly recommend the course. Mahalo! read more

It was our first time in Hawaii. Pictures do not do just as to how beautiful this court is. When was blowing 12 to 15 miles an hour with gust near the 20s. That still did not take away the beauty of this course. read more

Everyone there was nice except Eric Miller. Little power tripper. As a resident of another island, when I go to Oahu in the future I will most likely play another one of the great courses there, just to not give anywhere that employs him any of my hard earned money. read more

The cart staff except for the older guy all mocked me after I said "thank you" to them. This is unacceptable behavior especially from a course I thought was a top 100 course. If you want to be a professional course at least hire professional people. I feel so sorry for the senior cart cleaner and that he has to deal with the incompetence of his employees. Definitely will never be stepping foot here again. read more

Great course, great service , well groomed course and challenging. One of my favorite places to play.

Let me preface this review with saying that I've played at Koolina probably 15 times in the past 8 years, and this review only reflects my most recent experience. The course and staff overall are always a real pleasure and this is normally one of my favorite courses to play. The last time i visited however felt like a colossal waste of time and money, solely due to the marshall Mike that was on duty today. On multiple holes, we were talked to about potentially needing to skip a hole to get on pace, that we were behind, or generally pressuring us to play faster. This was while playing par golf with a 4 man scramble, and most holes having to wait at the tee for the group ahead of us. Multiple tee shots were spent with him under 40 yards from the tee just watching us hit, and i watched him follow the group in front of us, waiting within 40 yards of them while they hit their second shots from the fairway. It was an amazing example of how one person can completely ruin an otherwise great experience and i hope this review helps Koolina Golf Resort look closer at how they manage their marshals. At hole 10, we waited almost 5 minutes to for the fairway to clear, to be talked to while still on the tee about our pace. That is completely rediculous and showed a complete lack of awareness and professionalism. read more

Ko Olina is 1 of the best Golf Facilities I have had the opportunity to play at in my lifetime of playing golf. I have played all over the US, Canada, Mexico and Europe and their staff is a 15 on a scale of 1-10. Form the time you are greeted at the Bag Drop to the time you leave they are a smiling, asking how you are doing as well as doing anything they can to make your day at Ko Olina a great one. The Golf Course was in outstanding shape and pace of play flowed great. I highly recommend if you are going to the Big Island to play that you make sure to play at Ko Olina. The value of the cost is worth it as well as the brands of merchandise offered in the golf shop is outstanding. Plenty of options for both men and women. read more

I have golfed all over the world, including many of the courses in the Hawaiian Islands. This course is my favorite. Perfect balance of not too easy and not too difficult. The landscaping is absolutely breathtaking. The 18th hole, which many love to hate, is my favorite! read more

Went to Koolina golf club because it was one of the few golf courses I haven't played in Oahu. This is the site of the Lotte LPGA tournament. First off, they are pretty strict about viewing your ID to make sure you are a resident. Even though I was paying for 2 and had shown my ID, they wanted to see the other player's ID which was my son LOL. After check in the starter was friendly and told us what cart to take and who I would be playing with. Yes, at Koolina they pair you with another player(s). Usually other courses will let you play by yourself, but at Koolina you are grouped with other players. The reason will become evident later. After our introduction to the other players, we head to the tee; in this case the 10th hole. As soon as we get there the paired group tells us to "go ahead". They also point to our tee (which we don't think much about). We tee off and are on our way. The first thing that comes to mind for me, is that this hole seems long. Anyway, after thrashing about, losing a ball, 3 putting, I am done with the hole and decide not to keep a score with the way I am playing. I only came here to enjoy the round anyway and keeping score is a GREAT WAY to make yourself MAD! So the round continues and at some point I realize that every par 3 is at least 199 yards - round that off to 200. Now this kind of sucks because the wind is strong. All kinds of weird things start happening, the ball is not traveling as far and it is being pushed by the wind. To top the weird thing off, a chicken jumps into the cart. WHAT??? A CHICKEN????!!!! I am not kidding. This chicken flies up and jumps into the cart! Not only that, there's no way to get the chicken out. The chicken rides with us for a few holes before I decide to coax it out. I find a few snacks and feed the chicken and then cleverly makes sure the chicken notices I have tossed a morsel on the ground. Problem solved as the chicken jumps out and starts eating the meal. More suffering due to the wrong tees occurs. Of course it doesn't bother my son who was on the UH golf team and can hit his iron farther than my driver. But pain is evident as I suffer making double bogie after double and when I do have the chance to make pars, I miss 3 footers high or low. Arggggh. The course kind of reminds me of Waikele golf course. Much of the beauty of this course is actually on the outside looking in. Once you are in, it's a relatively normal course. At the turn we grab food but they are mostly out of things so we settle for whatever they have, like 1 hot dog and a turkey sandwich. We continue on...... The second half is played much slower..... the pace of play is super slow and we wait on every tee.... When pace of play is slow your body stiffens, your timing goes out the window and all you think about is.... Please hurry. But it's not the fault of the people in front - it's the group in front of them that is slow.... All carts should be in at 6p and we get to the 18th at 5:40p which is perfect. The group behind me loses patience and leaves, but not before watching me top my ball, having it fly right into the water making a big splash!!!! I proceed to 3 putt the last green and call it a day! There goes $130! Yep, golf is expensive and takes a huge amount of time. Oh well. read more

While staying at Aulani, I decided to play golf which is just a few minutes' walk from Aulani. They have a promo wherein if you book early, you get $50 off the course rate and a 50% discount on renting their clubs. I booked early but had to change my tee time in the afternoon. Once I checked in, the golf shop gave me a twilight rate however I had to pay the regular rental fee for the clubs. The price ended up cheaper so I'm glad about the accommodations. The golf cart has an ice box with a couple of water bottles. They also gave me 2 sleeves of Taylor Made golf balls and several tees. It also has a GPS for your yardage. The golf course is well-manicured and the fairways are wide and well-maintained. The greens are also nice and soft. I teed off on the white tees and some of the par 4 are more than 400 yards. The par 5 is at least 500 yards. The par 3 is anywhere from 170-225 yards. If you're not a long-hitter, this is a very challenging course. The greens are not flat and you've to read the greens for the slope and elevation. Also, there are bunkers around all of the greens I enjoyed this course and used golf management to give me a good score or at least aim for par on every hole. If you're in Oahu, give this place a try to play your favorite sport. read more

Hands down...one of the most beautiful courses on Oahu and it is my favorite course to play, so far. Many famous professional golfers play here as the LPGA's Lotte Tournament is typically held here. While it is a challenging course, it is a beautiful course that makes every dollar of the green fee worth it. Besides being a great course to play, with some iconic holes including Hole 10 that has a hidden Mickey as a sand trap (this course is next to Aulani, Disney's timeshare hotel on Oahu), they treat the players well; each golfer gets a bottle water and a cup. While this may not seem like a big deal, most courses give nothing else when you play, so I always found this to be a nice touch. Additionally, their golf carts are high tech where it not only uses GPS to tell you your yardage, you can also order food from the snack shop thru the cart and the food will be delivered to you. Amazing! It's all these small details that make Koolina stand out. read more

A very nice course and no Marshal regulating players. Also, have not seen the drink cart come by as well. Very expensive to play 18. Club rental was $78?!? So it can cost you around $300 to play... Most staff are nice and friendly. Having Roy's restaurant next to the course is a plus. read more

The course was okay. Not fantastic. There are around three Disney type of water holes which are scenic. But beyond that, the course is about on par with a good municipal course. The Del Monte course in Monterey is hands above as are the Wailea, Kapalua and Kauai golf courses. It's not even in the same stratosphere as any of the courses in Pebble Beach. But the pricing is. It was fun and challenging, but it's cannot be compared to the courses mentioned above. For paying the ~$267.00, the course should be on par with the courses mentioned above. If the fees for visitors were closer to the Kama'aina rates $95 plus tax, it would be more palatable. Some of the staff were helpful and some were down right rude. That's what put me off the most. I guess one rude person can affect a persons perspective as to the entire experience and maybe that's what it was for me. Also as my visit was on a Tuesday, they made us begin on 10, and not the #1 hole. So we weren't able to play the course as it was designed. There reasoning was they were working on the front 9, but golfers were already playing on all holes for the course, so it was a weak argument. That combined with being cheapskates with range balls. They give one small bucket of about 20ish balls and want more $'s if a person wants to hit more balls prior to tee'ing off. For what this course costs. Range balls should be gratis. Fortunately I was paired with some fun folks and we forgot about the s..t attitudes of people at the club helping us get started. And had a good overall experience. The attitudes of staff are the primary reason for this review, and how over stated the course is. I still am giving them 3-stars, so as not to hammer them on what they do right. I will play there again, but I'll be more thoughtful about which day and time I play the course. read more

I really wanted to play at a nice course. This was a super nice course. Conditions were on point and service as well. Being a tourist, I gladly paid the fee +wife and son to ride along. Got tees, water bottles in the cooler, souvenir cups, cold towel after the round and had the employees clean my clubs. It wasn't amazing but a good experience. Actually played in a threesome and our group finished around 4 hours. The course is pretty entertaining, challenging and the putting greens were weird lol in a good way. The practice facility is nice and starters were always in a great mood! Was it worth it??? I probably could have played 2.5 rounds on a few fine courses in California.

A golf club I play with went there and had a very good time. First time for me so was excited about seeing the course and playing it. It lived up to my expectations. It's a very nice course and it's well maintained. It's a little more costly than most courses but it's well kept and carts seems newer. Worth the price of admission. M Covid cleaning and social distancing enforced so felt very safe. Will definitely make it back to play again but probably more for special occasions and once or twice a year. Cost is a Factor. read more

Went to KoOlina for the first time. The WORST first impression ever. The WORST customer service. They paired a random person with us. The man was very nice. They made us ride with him instead of giving us our own cart. So they told us it's $15 to have your own cart. We go to pay, and they tell us it's $30. I talked to the starter office and tried to explain and understand why we need to pay for a cart when it's included in our green fee. NO APOLOGY!!! Nothing. Just basically arguing with me the policy and that it says it online. Just so disrespectful. Idk what kind of people are running this company, no wonder the LOTTE isn't there anymore. Not to mention. Our cart died at the 15th hole. The cart that we paid for. And everyone in back of us playing were all 2 players. I don't know why they couldn't pair him up with them. Don't waste your time and money to play here. Kapolei golf course is way better than this place and customer service is soooo nice. They are respectful and nice to everyone. ( locals and tourist). Koolina is only for Tourist. Gave this a 1 star for the guys who collect the carts after your game. They clean your clubs and give a nice fresh cool towel. Thank you!! That 1 star is for them, with them, I wish I could rate them NO stars. First and last time at this course. Kapolei, Mililani and Waikele is better than this place!!! No aloha for the locals here! read more
