The Puakea underwent expansion and redesign changing it from the original 10 hole layout when this club was called "Grove Farm". The renovated course has much improved the playability and fun of the course. It is a lot less pretentious then the more famed resort courses and plays more like your neighborhood course. Housing developments skirt several portions of the course, adding to the relaxed charm.
Local's Tip:
This course is one of the best values on island, several 3rd party vendors have specials on this course so it pays to do some web research.
