When we visit the families time-share at Ko Olina, we always play this course on the last day. Mainly because we'd be spoiled for the rest of the trip. If you are fortunate to catch it on a less than windy day, it may play a bit easier, but with the wind it is extremely challenging. The par 3 16th at 203 yds from the white tees required a driver as it played straight into the wind.
Still the ambiance, the natural beauty (yes you do drive under a waterfall), and the course conditions makes this a favorite, even with the price, which is not cheap.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Expensive and worth it
Condition of Course, Food/ Bar facilities, Ambiance, Staff, Pro Shop
