West Loch is a municipal golf course. It's alright for the price. The front nine is not flat. Expect to go up some hills, but still walkable.
The tee boxes are alright, nothing great about them. There is grass, but in some areas, the grass is sparse and sandy. There are a few interesting holes were you are on an elevated tee box, makes a fun time to see how far you can hit.
The fairways could use some work. There are a lot of areas with dirt patches and no grass throughout the course. The ball rolls out a little further, but if it stops on the dirt patches, watch out for the rocks. Other areas of the fairways have a lot weeds that your club can get stuck on when taking it back, not big difference from the rough. There are a lot of trees and brush on the sides that your ball could get lost in. There are a few holes with water, look ahead, and you'll see it.
The greens are the best part of this course. The grass is pretty smooth, and the ball doesn't bounce around when you putt. There is some undulation on some holes, but most of them are flat with the green tilted, so there is still some break. The bunkers don't have a lot of sand in them and may be harder to hit out of.
Amenities:
-No driving range
-Putting green - there is a small putting green by the club house
Chipping area - there is are by the first hole that people warm up on Chipping
There is now a restaurant that serves food at the clubhouse, and they do have a concession stand at hole 10.

Dope muni to play at. The price for residents is just right and the course has active improvements being made, but non that interfered with play. They advertised a driving range, but I never saw any evidence of one. It had a squirrelly layout but it was easy enough to follow. I would recommend trying to play during the week, as it didn't seem like there was a Marshall or staggering of tee times. We didn't have any pace of play issues but I could see it being an issue on the weekends.
Thanks guys!

This is one of my favorite local Muni courses. The play pace may be a little slow depending on who you have in front of you but the scenery is nice and it’s worth the wait. Everyone who works there is extra nice and other golfers are generally all pretty chill.

Poorly managed. Played twice and we were unable to finish due to EXTREMELY SLOW play. 6 hrs both times unable to finish 18 holes . Start times are 6 minutes apart. PGA norm is 9 minutes. Singles and doubles not paired up.

There is no starter no food no pro shop. Everything from the tea boxes fairways and greens are poorly maintained. Things are either dry and dusty or over watered and swampy. It smells like a swamp. Everything is broken and very neglected. If you are a visitor to Hawaii, do not play this course. It is for locals to go chop around at the golf ball in groups of six.
