The price at Ko Olina Golf Club was steep as this course seems to cater to a lot of the Japanese big spenders (the pro shop sells lots of very expensive Burberry clothings), but the course is so perfectly maintained that it was worth it.  I wish that every course is so pristine, and the roll of your putts on the greens was so true that it seemed like we were putting on a carpet - but, beware of several of the "hidden" double breaks.

A superb resort course   , where some of the wide fairways helped a lot since my tee shot slices still sometime stayed on the edge of the fairway

The Roy's restaurant on the 18th hole is a nice touch for a nice dinner after the round, and the very beautiful AM&E souvenir putter cover ($25) is now on my road bag.

A must play!

Pic 1: 1st hole, a nice beginning
Pic 2: 12th hole, fairly short par 3 but with very tricky winds
Pic 3: 16th hole, with the waterfall behind you when you tee off

Ahh...Great to see you had a great time and played a great course!  I'm glad the weather agreed with you while you visited.

In case you want a few more pics, here's a thread I started Ko Olina Golf

Thanks Reid.

Yes, I had a grand old time, and you are right that the weather was just perfect!

I have to find a way to return to Hawaii soon, real soon.

Ahh, just added the pic of the Ko Olina putter cover - so nice that it displaced the Scotty cover in my road bag  

Cheers,
Tim
