Kauai’s Kukuiolono Golf Course – Affordable Golf Hawaii Style
This Hawaii golf course is a 2,981-yard, 9 hole public course, which was once part of a Kauai sugar plantation owner’s estate. It is the eighth oldest course in Hawaii. Located in Kalaheo, about 15 minutes from Poipu Beach, the Kukuiolono Golf Course is one of Hawaii golf ’s best-kept secrets. Kauai’s gorgeous golf courses are often pricey but a voluntary contribution for green fees at Kukuiolono allows for all day play. Kukuiolono is situated on top of an extinct Kauai volcano, which affords sweeping ocean and mountain views. The scenic park and golf course, perched on the top of a hill, offer a 360-degree perspective of the southwestern portion of Kauai. While there are no water hazards, Kukuiolono Golf Course has something most courses don’t have – a beautiful Japanese bonsai garden in the middle of a fairway close to the 8th tee, and ruins of ancient Hawaiian rock structures near the 3rd green.
With fewer hazards than most Hawaii golf courses and very wide fairways, Kukuiolono is especially fun for beginners, although the constantly changing trade winds add a special challenge for all players. Golfers can avoid the windiest conditions by playing early in the day. Some of the greens have sand bunkers that are more Scottish-links-style, with grass growing raggedly on their edges and even into the bunkers. Two sets of tees allow for playing the nine holes again as a slightly different second nine.
Kukuiolono Golf Course facilities include a clubhouse, a driving range, and a small putting green. Pull carts and electric golf cars are available at the pro shop. For a change of pace from resort golf on Kauai and for its low green fees, Kukuiolono Golf Course is good choice for Kauai visitors.

Kauai golf means golf surrounded by the lush, natural beauty of
Kauai on the newly renovated golf course at the
Kiahuna Golf Club in beautiful, sunny Poipu Beach, Kauai!
World-renowned architect, Robert Trent Jones II, skillfully included many
ancient remnants of an authentic Hawaiian village into the design of the
Kiahuna Golf Club. You will experience the beauty of the course as well as
a sense of the enduring history of the islands and Kauai.
“We played Kiahuna and really enjoyed the laid
back atmosphere. The course was in great shape
and felt like a great value for Hawaii. .#12 is a
really challenging par three. My wife and I ended
up playing Kiahuna four times that week..
It was definitely a real treat.”
