Kukuiolono Park & Golf Course - Kalaheo, Hawaii

Kukuiolono Park & Golf Course is a COMPLETE HIDDEN GEM on the island of Kauai! We stayed at a high end VRBO in Koloa where we paid high end money to golf 18 holes. As we drove over to the Port Allen area to drop people off for a day of snorkeling (boring), we came across this 9 hole course off the beaten path. Thinking it was just an executive course, was our first mistake. It is a full blow 9 hole course, but if you want to play it as a executive Par 3, they have markers for it. Expecting to pay a hefty price to golf, the cost was $15 for 9 holes per person, and $15 for a cart, that was split per player, costing $7.50 each. We golfed in Kauai for $22.50 for 9 holes.

We went inside and grabbed beers at the bar, and decided to go play 9 more. Since we already paid a $15 "donation" for the green fees, the only cost was the $7.50 per person for the cart. Unreal! We played the challenging 9 holes again, and called it a day.

THE GOOD: Gas carts were awesome. Bar / Food area was clean and the employees attentive. The views from all the holes overlooking the ocean were phenomenal! Greens were well kept.

THE BAD: Cant take beers on the course. Had to drink them in the bar area. Not a big setback for us, but could be if you are beer-golfer, and require swing lube.

You will thank me for making the trip over here to play, Just don't tell everyone, because next time we go back, we will play this course all day. A true value of a golf course for any location I have ever played. Keep up the great work Kukuiolono Golf Course!

$5 for Mini golf on real grass. It was a bit of a challenge due to the “course conditions,” and we all laughed and enjoyed ourselves. After using the driving range and putting green, the three of us rented serviceable clubs and squeezed in after a tournament. No tee times, first come, first served. The course was a kick in the pants, we all had a great time. Will return for sure. When you’re ordering what you want, the older gentleman wants you to be ready and say it all in a certain order. He’s cranky. “Three for a round of golf, three club rental, two women, one man, all right handed.” Restrooms available. They also offer disc golf on select days.

For the price you can’t complain and you can just walk up

We were lucky beautiful day to just be outside for a few hours

The course is gorgeous and the best value on the island by far. I took the girls to mini golf while the boys went to play 9. Cute little mini course that replicates the main course with such beautiful gardens. Friendly staff - bring cash!! No cards accepted.

A beautiful location with views for miles and a small but interesting collection of local culture and garden to wander through. The golf course looks challenging and the views as you play must make that worth the effort! Worth at least a short stop or could be a great picnic spot on a lazy afternoon.

I have returned to Kukuiolono Golf Course every year for about half a decade now. You simply cannot beat the price of this course, and the views are spectacular. Staff are amazingly friendly and personable too, making the experience feel like I am playing my home golf course.

The park and golf course also offers a driving range, practice green, mini golf and even disc golf. There is also a pacos tacos restaurant for eats.

The drawbacks to this course are that the greens are very challenging to read and play on. The course also plays very hard, and the ball tends to roll a mile on any given shot. Also there are only nine holes.

Overall I love coming here and will continue to do so every time I come to Kauai. Thank you Kukiolono!

We needed to kill some time before our flight so we decided to drive to this park to play mini golf. The price was cheap ($5 per person) but the course itself was not well maintained. It was like putting on someone's lawn. The balls got stuck regularly. Both of our putters were bent. It's an okay experience for the cost, and I'm happy to support a smaller business, but I wouldn't recommend making the trip to play unless you're in the area already.
