About Wailua Golf Course
This municipal gem sits in one of Kauai's most dramatic settings, where the ancient Wailua River winds toward the Pacific and the sacred Sleeping Giant mountain dominates the horizon. The routing takes full advantage of the natural topography, with several holes playing alongside or over water features that add both beauty and strategic complexity to your round. What sets this course apart is how it seamlessly blends into the cultural landscape of Wailua – you're literally playing golf in an area that was once the royal grounds of Hawaiian ali'i, giving every shot a sense of place you won't find at resort courses. At these green fees, you're getting exceptional value for a true Hawaiian golf experience without the resort markup. The course challenges you with trade wind exposure and well-positioned hazards, but it's the kind of track where course management trumps raw distance. The 4.5-star rating from nearly 600 reviews tells the real story – this is a course that delivers on the fundamentals while offering something genuinely special in terms of setting and atmosphere.
