As you've probably figured out by now, I do a LOT of golfing! Because I get to see a lot of courses and play a lot of greens, I've decided to have a do keep an official reviews page for all the courses I play.
Here's a quick breakdown of my ratings system: |

Aloha, my golfing amigo's!!!! I know amigo is Spanish, but I don't have enough vowels to complete a Hawaiian sentence. Here are my thoughts on the courses in the beautiful state of Hawaii, on the island of Maui. The first course I played was Kapalua Plantation course. The layout is awesome, so many holes on the water, with the first tee shot you hit your looking at another island and the ocean. This isn't an easy course though, I guess that's why they play the Mercedes Championship here. To me the greens were really slow, but that's because they are grooming the course for the PGA. Lots of rough, and narrow fairways, all and all a really nice course. The next course I played was my favorite(yes, because this course I played really well, and yes I did leave out what I shot at Plantation, cause I sucked that day) Kapaula's Bay course. This course is really more on the ocean than Plantation, with great scenery on every hole. It was nice because we were the first one's out, and set a great pace of play, I think we played in just over 3 hours. The one thing about Hawaiian courses, is that they all have Bermuda grass greens, meaning you have to read the grain of the grass, and with me being able to hardly read it made it that much tougher, but this was an outstanding course that I say is a MUST!!!!!! The next two courses are the Kanapaali courses, the North is where they have a Senior PGA event, and it was ok, but not too hard, again the greens got me on the front side, but the back was much better I went 47-37, for an 84, oh by the way on the Bay course at Kapalua I shot 81, if only I hadn't double bogeyed 16. The South course at Kanapaali didn't have anyone on it so we flew around that track. Not much to see on this course, it was alot cheaper and not too bad, but not a must on the golfing adventure.
Here's a look at my afternoon at the Kapalua Plantation course.... |
