Ocean Breezes & Irons: A Look at Hawaii Kai Executive The Smartgolfcourses checked out the Executive Course at Hawaii Kai. Perfect spot if you want to work on your irons with an ocean breeze. The pro shop and facilities are bustling. From a Smartgolfcourses perspective, this is a great layout for a quick, scenic round. The coastline views from the start are unbeatable. Great work by the team keeping this scenic spot moving smoothly for everyone. -------- Battling the Trade Winds: Scouting the Championship Course The Championship Course at Hawaii Kai. It’s definitely the "big brother" to the Executive course. Much longer and wider. You can really feel the trade winds kicking in here, which adds a serious layer of challenge! Smartgolfcourses watched some groups tackle that opening hole; wide fairways, but you absolutely need to control your ball flight against the breeze. The views of the coastline and the Koko Head backdrop are just spectacular. Huge shout-out to the staff for managing such a massive property and keeping the pace moving in the wind.

Based on the price it was an amazing round of golf. I got a really good deal on Golfnow.com or Teeoff; I can't remember which one. I would have been a little disappointed at the conditions of the greens and the rough if I would have paid full price even though Hawaii Kai was considerably cheaper than the nicer courses. I did spend most of my time off the fairway, so it would have been nicer if it was a little more kept up. Half way through our round we got hungry, so we went to the clubhouse. The worker was friendly enough, but they weren't serving any food at the snack shop or the restaurant! I get that it was a little later on on a Monday, but now I know to bring food!! Also the guy at the golf cart stand could have been a little more excited about his job! But with all that being said... I will definitely be going back if I can find another good rate! There are some holes with partial views of the ocean and it's a pretty scenic 18 round of golf. And when you're done, I highly recommend Sandy's Beach that is right next door! They have some really good waves and beach areas. But the customer service and the course could use a little fine tuning!
