Poipu Bay Golf Course

About Poipu Bay Golf Course

This Robert Trent Jones Jr. design sits on Kauai's sunny south shore, where the Pacific Ocean dominates the visual landscape and trade winds add a strategic element to nearly every shot. The routing takes full advantage of the dramatic coastline, with several holes playing directly along the water and others offering elevated views across Poipu Beach. Jones crafted generous fairways that invite aggressive play, but the course's true defense comes from the ever-present wind and strategically placed bunkers that punish wayward shots. The conditioning here consistently impresses, with fast, true greens and fairways that actually reward good shots, a rarity at many resort courses. What sets Poipu Bay apart from other Hawaiian resort tracks is its legitimate championship pedigree, having hosted PGA Tour events, which shows in the thoughtful green complexes and risk-reward opportunities throughout the round. At these green fees, it's not cheap, but you're paying for one of the most scenic and well-maintained golf experiences in Hawaii, plus the satisfaction of walking the same fairways where Tour pros have competed.
