Amongst The Banyan Trees 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 10, 2018 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-27 holes
-great pin placements, use of the available land
-clubhouse has some sweet discs for sale with stamps from the local club
-round is free if you a guest at the hotel
-considering its on a ball golf course still had some lines you need to hit to score well

Cons:

-golf course grounds crew knocks over the signs so navigation can be a little tricky when there are multiple baskets visible (club house has a map)
-ball golfers have the right of way and on a average are pretty terrible so sometimes you have a bit of a wait before a fairway clears
-getting up to 27 holes means some of the baskets aren't in in great shape but they catch well

Other Thoughts:

If you are coming to the big island it's definitely worth it to pack some discs and play this course. The local club owns all the baskets and has done a great job designing a 27 hole course that plays along the 9 hole ball golf course. There are some really nice pin placements that definitely make you feel like you are playing a round in a tropical paradise. Hole 15 is a particular highlight with a mando forcing you between two trees and then a basket location perched up on a hill. And a great finishing hole with RHFH flex shot to get around and last the hanging banyan tendrils.

This course is a must play if you are on the island.
