Kiahuna Golf Club

About Kiahuna Golf Club

Set along Kauai's sun-soaked southern shore, this Robert Trent Jones Jr. design from 1983 delivers one of Hawaii's most scenic and playable resort experiences. The routing cleverly winds through ancient Hawaiian fishponds, past archaeological sites, and alongside the dramatic Poipu coastline, with the back nine offering particularly stunning ocean views as holes dance between lava rock formations and pristine beaches. Jones maximized the natural contours and trade winds here, creating strategic interest without the punishing length or forced carries that plague many tropical resort courses. What sets Kiahuna apart is its authentic sense of place – this feels like Hawaiian golf rather than a mainland course dropped into paradise. The conditioning stays consistently good year-round thanks to the reliable Poipu sunshine, and at this price point for oceanfront Hawaii golf, you're getting exceptional value. The 4.2 Google rating reflects solid execution rather than groundbreaking design, but sometimes that's exactly what you want when you're more focused on soaking in Kauai's beauty than grinding through architectural puzzles.
