Kapalua Resort - The Bay Course

Fun course with great views

The views on the Bay Course are worth the price. Generous fairways, grainy greens, and be aware of the ocean effect. Do not leave yourself above the hole on when you are down grain and toward the ocean , ie #18 The new routing if fine, you finish on 2 of the prettiest holes on the island ( 16 and 17 ).

Enjoyable golf course

I always have played the golf course at Wigwam, but now that I moved here I thought I would try the red course. It is a very good track from the back tees . The greens were a little slow but in great shape. Fairways are coming in nicely . Bunkers need some work. Rough is solid.

Great course

The course was in great shape . Tee boxes, greens, and fairways were very good. Had some wet areas but no big deal. Nice people in the pro shop too.

It's seen better days

To start with , the GPS on the cart was not activated. No water in the cooler and off we go to the first tee. Tee boxes are good, fairways are very thin in a lot of areas, bare spots are prevalent in a lot of areas. They have some GUR areas. Greenside bunkers could use some more sand. The layout will always be good but the conditions are not what they should be , it's not what I remembered from last time I played.

solid course

Good variety of holes, the course was in very good shape. Greens running a tad on the slow side but this is understandable because the weather is in the 100's. Played in 3 hours, no one in my way. GPS on cart is good . Pro in shop is a good guy.

good value

first time playing this course, played the tips and because the fairways were not firm and fast it played it's distance. Bunkers in bad shape, greens on the slow side but putt fine. Tee boxes good and fairways were good . Course needs to put out more water jugs and ice for golfers.

solid track

If you want to play a true desert course , come here. The tee ball is important to get into play because the desert is all around you. Greens are in good shape and so are the fairways. Some tee boxes need leveling . Also, it was a little wet in front of some of the greens. Windy day may it challenging and fun.

good course for the money

I had a 6:20 AM tee time and when I got to the course it was packed already. People tee off in the dark here. I was paired with another single and two others so we had a great group. Played in about 4 hours 20 minutes so it was decent. The course is flat , has some bunkers and the greens have subtle breaks. The course was in decent shape, from the tips we played about 6350 yards. Lots of wedges into greens. Some dog legs .

Solid desert golf course

If you like to play desert golf with no adjacent holes this is your course. Great layout with a good mix of holes. We were the 2nd group off and played in 3 hours and 45 minutes. The only issue I had this time was that there was standing water on the greens on at least 6 occasions. They need to fix that situation . Nice pace to the greens. Tee boxes need some work as they are starting to get a little crowned on a few holes.

Solid test

Played the tips so there are a few challenging tee shots. Greens were in very good shape. The tee boxes need a little work as some are getting crowned. The bunkers were inconsistent. Course is still in very good shape , had cart path only .

Inexpensive golf

Only paid $45 to play so I did not expect immaculate conditions. Greens were good, fairways were spotty , tee boxes were in poor shape, bunkers needed work.
This is not a championship course but it is tight and requires placement off the tee. At this time of the year selections are slim so it was OK.

Very average ,good price

Fairways and greens in good shape. The rest of the course is pretty raggedy. Payed only $40 so you get what you

good golf courses

This is a good value for the area. The only issue we had was that 6 pins were put in stupid places. On one hole you would putt up and it would roll back to you , so it was make it or keep putting . No professional golfer would put up with those stupid placements.

Great layout

The blue starts off with a super tee shot (some 60 feet above) and it continues to present some fun and challenging golf. Make sure you know where the pins are because your misses will determine how you score. Nice greens, tight lies, and very open fairways are features of the blue course.

Great Track

The red course is more demanding off the tee , but it does give you enough room. Know where the pins are on the green and know if you are facing a false front or a green that runs away. The par fives are difficult if you go for them in 2 but very manageable if you play them as a 3 shot hole. Par 3's are all strong. I have Bandon courses several times and there are a lot of similarities but I think you will like the greens better at Streamsong. Very friendly staff, professional caddies. Played this course 3X while I was there .

Gone downhill

Most of the time Troon facilities are in great shape this place needs some help and fast. Fairways and tee boxes are spotty, the bunkers were not maintained they were muddy and not raked ( no excuse as we went off at 7AM) . Greens were good . Puddles of water in a lot of places . Very messy . Carts have no GPS and its difficult to find yardage markers. Too many other good courses in the area.

Dear jokerman1,

We appreciate your feedback, as ALL feedback is necessary and taken serious. With that said, I apologize for your experience with our course conditions. I will be sure to follow up to find out why our typical standards were not met. You might give our Pete Dye track a try during your next visit! Thank you again, and please feel free to reach me at 760.202.2095 with further concerns.

Have a great day!

Solid golf course

Course greens in good shape and fairways in good shape. The course is all about keeping it out of the bunkers and not short siding yourself. On time and good pace of play. Good range and short game area to warm up.
