It sounds like golf in Honolulu is quite an experience! I heard there’s a unique course at Turtle Bay. What do the amenities there look like?
Turtle Bay offers beachfront views and has a very inviting clubhouse. Plus, there’s an upscale restaurant with a bar. Perfect for relaxing after your round!
Those views must be amazing! But isn’t the course layout a bit tricky for beginners?
It can be challenging! But I think it’s a good opportunity for beginners to learn. The practice facilities are excellent, which helps a lot.
In my opinion, the amenities at the Dunes at Maui Lani are far more impressive than some Honolulu courses. They have an amazing pro shop too!
Is that course even in Honolulu? I thought it was on Maui!
You’re right, it’s not in Honolulu! I meant to say that the courses on Oahu can sometimes be too crowded, while the Dunes feel more spacious.
It’s interesting to see the differences in the golf culture here. I guess even the busy courses in Honolulu have their charm. What’s your favorite course and why?
I’ve played several courses in Honolulu, and I’d say Ko Olina Golf Club is a must-visit! The views are spectacular, and the course is well-maintained. Early mornings are the best time to play to avoid the heat and crowds.
Thanks for the recommendation! What’s the average temperature there in the mornings? I’m used to playing in cooler weather.
Typically, temps in the mornings are around 70°F, which feels nice. Just remember to stay hydrated! Also, try to bring lightweight clothing.
Good call on the lightweight clothing! Any specific brands you recommend for golf wear in hot weather?

I like using Under Armour and Nike for their moisture-wicking fabrics. They keep you cool and are stylish too!

Don’t forget sunscreen! Hawaii sun can be very fierce. I carry a small tube in my golf bag just in case I forget to apply it before I head out.
Great reminder! Speaking of the golf bag, what are essential items to keep in there for a trip to Hawaii?
Definitely pack extra balls, a sturdy divot repair tool, and plenty of tees. Also, consider bringing a light rain jacket just in case—Hawaii’s weather can be unpredictable!
A light rain jacket sounds smart! I usually just wing it, but I got caught in a downpour last time. What about the courses? Is it crowded?
Some courses can get busy, especially on weekends. If you can, try to play during weekdays for a more relaxed experience.
