which golf course on Kauai?
 
DH is a very good golfer..he's playing the Plantation course on Maui. What course would you recommend for him on kauai? Princeville or the one near Poipu?<BR><BR>thanks!

Alooohaaaaa,<BR>When are you going? You know about the weather thang!<BR><BR>Pville and Poipu are the 2 better ones but The Grove/Puukea and Kiahuna and Wailua are nice too. Poipu is the only one I haven't brought to it's knees yet. ;-)<BR><BR>Plus, the funky little 9 holer, Kukuilono, up on the side of the hill in Kalaheo is pretty durn fun too. Fantastic views, too...and very cheap.<BR><BR>The Grove (behind Kukui Grove Shopping Center) closed in Dec and was set to repopen in June-finally completeing the other 8 holes!).<BR><BR>Happy Friday to all,<BR>Kal

&quot;April showers bring beautiful May Kauaian flowers&quot;!<BR><BR>The Princeville Course anytime is worth the chance especially if your DH loves a good challenge! <BR><BR>They used to charge something like $25 after 4:00pm for a cart just to tour the entire course. <BR>You may wish to find out if they still do that and go with him just for the tour. Take a lot of film.<BR>Mrs Kal's fondest Kauaian golfing memories were when we got caught in the 2 rain storms each time we golfed Kukuilono. Golf ball sized rain drops coming down sideways...while the sun is shining! They were both over with quickly.<BR>That and the time she chipped in from about 10 yds off the green and beat me on the hole a Kiahuna! <BR><BR>There are some discount golf sites out there too you may wish to try.<BR>Kalger Woods

DH might also like Kiele by the Marriott in Lihue. Telling him it's a Jack Nicklaus design should get his attention. You ever play it, Kal?<BR><BR>Weather's pretty much luck of the draw. My wife and I saw pretty heavy rains on four of seven days on Kauai in May of '02.

KRIKIES, Bum!<BR>How the heck can I have forgotten about those 2 courses! And it's not even 5:00 yet!<BR>Played them them both and enjoyed the Kiele course mo' bettah vs. the Lagoons side.<BR>Hole #13 is my fave. Right under The Whaler Brew Pubh. Beautiful view of all of my lost golf balls.<BR><BR>And then afterwards a quick trip up to The Whaler for a short &quot;cool down period&quot;. I'm a finely tuned athlete ya know!<BR><BR>Kal

I'm with ya, Kalger.....doesn't matter which course, I always play the 19th best.

Kal Apr 4th, 2003 02:27 PM
