Kahuku Golf Course

$ 20 gets you a links course with great views of the Pacific from the North Shore of Oahu. This price is for nine holes and a pull cart. Great pace of play dry hard fairways but well kept greens. a state course, not so friendly at the check in but accommodating. A can’t miss.

Uodate to previous review;
Played Kahuku yesterday and the fairways are in great shape. Plenty of grass to hit from. Nice and springy with the damp sandy topsoil. Greens are holding the approach shots very well. Great course to play.

This is my favorite public course on the island. It’s not a fancy PGA rated course, but for those looking for a leisurely slow paced game with uncrowded conditions this place hits it.
It can get a bit windy (often sideways) but that adds more of a challenge and can actually help if you have a bad slice habit. You’ll probably lose some balls in the bushes but I usually find some to compensate my loss.
If you want an expensive, perfect, luxury course go to Turtle Bay with all the rich folk. If your looking for kick-​back bruddah style golf I recommend Kahuku.

I thought I would be able to have a good round of golf playing here, but it’s like playing golf on the beach! Not even any grass in some areas and it’s all sand below where there is grass.
Really bummed me out to skip a day at turtle bay or somewhere else. Wouldn’t get paid to play here, because someone in the parking lot would just steal it out of my car, really uncomfortable to pull up at 10 am and have a bunch of dudes drinking 40’s in the parking lot and eying you out.

I prefer to avoid low rated reviews; however, the ratings for this course are highly deceiving and require a dose of reality so those who aren’t aware what this place actually is, a shanty shack, porta potties, and field pretending to be a golf course. If you’re a tourist, don’t ruin one of your few golfing opportunities here while you visit Oahu. And if you’re a local, well, by now you should know better.
First, this course does not offer any golf carts, so those who prefer to relax can avoid.
Second, this course does not offer true greens for all 9 holes. Temp greens can be seen everywhere, and appear to be in use on a few holes often.
Third, all the greens that were supposed «true greens» had hoses across them attached to sprinkler heads. Yes, they obstructed all of their greens at prime time — 8:30 AM, for people playing. When we hit onto the greens, our golf balls bounced off half the time, because they rolled into the hoses. That was a far greater nuisance than the fact the greens were patched in half dead grass.
Fourth, the «clubhouse» is simply a rundown shack that offers two state of the art porta potties for your relaxation to relieve yourself. Next to the shack is some large barn that appears to be condemned… When you’re done with your round, under wide open fairways with no chance at shade, you cannot find a sink to rinse off. But! you do get to use a porta potty that offers zero antibacterial foam. Awesome! Thanks!
You will also likely run into beachgoers that use the parking lot and golfcourse as beach access. We had a few walk by while trying to putt. Interesting.
There are also course mascots: the chickens and rooster that will sound off at least a few times during your backswing. At least you have a few animals cheering you on to further enjoy your experience at the worst golf course in America.
Everyone reviewing on Unilocal appears to love this place, yet I have no idea how that is possible. Yea, $ 9 for 9 holes is dirt cheap — you only get that rate if you are a local and manage to go to a state course during their golf card promotion times — but this place offers nothing of quality. If you need to save money, why not go to Kaneohe and play Bay View. They offer a local rate of 18 holes WITH a golf cart for $ 18 during the week. And out of state isn’t that much more. Not to mention, it plays like a real course with actual greens. And the back 9 offers great views of the bay. Not to mention, they actually have a bathroom, that has honest to god sinks and two showers.
Avoid this place at all costs. I haven’t seen a course this terrible anywhere I have played, even in New England which contends with far more difficult issues like winter every year. You are in Hawaii. Enjoy something that resembles a real course.

Opened in 1937, Kahuku golf course is a part of The Village of Kahuku’s history that I hope will be around for future generations to enjoy. A fee of $ 9 for 9 holes, the Kahuku golf course has some of the most beautiful ocean views you can find from a golf course. A must play on my score card!

Kahuku Golf Course!!! It’s the hidden treasure of all golf courses on Oahu. Find it and you won’t be disappointed. If you need help finding it call 8 082 935 842. The view alone will surely satisfy your eyes just to imagine what all of Hawaii use to look like. Just to play nine holes plus clubs and a pull cart will not empty out you wallet. Come visit us some day, reservation is not necessary. Links style golf in Paradaise. ALOHA see ya!!!

Where else can you play a round of golf for under $ 20? Kahuku is a nine hole walking course that you have to play twice to get 18 holes for $ 18. That’s a dollar a hole, along an awesome beach side view. What a deal. It’s like a poor man’s Pebble Beach… Well not quite. But it’s still a great value. It’s a relatively flat course that can get windy since its so near the ocean. The greens are actually more decent than youd expect from a muni course by the water. And after you’re done playing, go over to the shrimp trucks for a 19^th hole garlic shrimp reward after a fun round.

A small and beautiful course.
Excellent: view, staff and customer service. the layout of the course, whale watching, price!
Beware: if you are used to a fancy place, this one is not for you. The club house is a little grass shuck. the bathroom is a portapotty, but with toilet paper. You can wash your hands outside.
Overall: If you are after amenities, you won’t get them here. If you are after a fun day on grass, next to the ocean, this is it!

I play kahuku frequently, overall it is a great course to play for only 12 dollars. It is only a 9 hole course and has NO golf carts. It is very casual attire, board shorts and a T shirt. The staff is incredibly friendly. there is a few issues the bathrooms are port a poddies and it is normally pretty windy due to the tradewinds off shore.
I recommend playing this course for anyone who doesnt mind walking and likes a mello vibe.

I was pleasantly surprised on my first visit to this beautiful ocean-​side nine hole golf course in Kahuku. The facilities are shabby at best; a parking lot in need of repaving, and small wooden buildings housing the maintenance shed and starters office, and a couple of portapotties outside the starters office substituting for the out of order restrooms inside. Be prepared to walk the course because they don’t have any riding carts. They do however have push carts for rent if you don’t want to carry your bag through the nine holes.
The course itself was in much better shape that I was expecting after checking in. There was more green grass on the ground than you would usually find at most other municipal courses on Oahu, and the scenery was absolutely beautiful. The downside of the course is that there is a lot of sand all around. Not sand as in bunkers, but sand in place of dirt in a lot of places. I guess this is kind of expected as the course is connected to the beach. There is also a sand covered road that runs through the 8^th and 9^th holes which could possibly get in the way if you’re unlucky.
We came here on a Tuesday at about mid-​day, and were able to walk on right away with no waiting. It had only cost each of us $ 8, and an additional $ 4 for the push cart rental. $ 12 for 9 holes of golf? I think that’s pretty tough to beat!

Played this course back in 8÷02÷09. I would drive up from Waikiki to play this more often if it had electric golf carts. Beautiful views.
4 star’s for this course, because there’s always room for improvement… like adding electric golf carts and improving the course a little more.
Course has no Driving Range. Not sure if there is a Practice Putting Green… can’t remember.

One of lifes greatest pleasures is to drive from Kailua on a weekday, walk nine at Kahuku, and go for garlic shrimp at Andy’s. You bring your own pull cart or rent one. This is one of the very few courses on the island that are kid friendly. To call this place «ghetto» is like calling St. Andrews «ghetto», this is golf reduced to its most basic elements, and it is wonderful to all but the snobs. Oh yeh, at $ 6.00 a round for residents it’s pretty inexpensive.

Just a fun course! the course that time forgot!
Super casual course, I mean CASUAL.

No golf carts.
As in «you are walking this course and carrying your shit yourself».
On the plus side, they let you wear casual attire. For me this consisted of a mini skirt, t-​shirt and flip-​flops. «Barbie» opted out of the golf accessories and instead chose to tag along with the boys while they humped their gear hither and yon. It’s a beautiful setting but there are two holes that are heat pockets. As in sweating your ass off. NOT remotely attractive. The boys looked miserable. The greens are more brown than green and this is affectionately referred to both as the «practice course» (as in «practice» for Turtle Bay) or the «ghetto course». Either one is a pretty apt description.
It was a quick 9 holes, needless to say. Fun for me and be sure to check out the marker that indicates the most northern point of the Hawaiian isles. Pretty cool shit.
