I completely agree! I sometimes feel like putting is like playing a different sport entirely due to the wind. Any putting tips?
Change your grip pressure on the greens; it helps to avoid those dreaded yips. Also, take extra care reading the break—it can be deceptive.
Thanks for the tips, woodblake! I’ve noticed some holes can be significantly impacted by wind. What’s your strategy for driving in those conditions?
For driving, I recommend using a more stable driver. It can help keep the ball straight despite the gusts. Choke down a bit too—it makes a difference!

Lol, great advice, jeffreypage! But honestly, sometimes I just let the wind take it and hope for the best! Anyone else live dangerously out there?
If you’re looking for the best golf in Kauai, I highly recommend Poipu Bay Golf Course. It has stunning ocean views and great deals for accommodation packages if you book in advance!

Totally agree! I’ve stayed at the Grand Hyatt, and their golf package includes some nice perks. The views from the course are unbeatable!
I’ve had some great experiences at the Kauai Lagoons Golf Club. Check out their website for special tee time offers during the weekday; they sometimes have discounts for early morning rounds.
I love the Kiahuna Golf Club! It’s a bit less crowded and has a more laid-back vibe. Plus, their accommodations at the Kiahuna Plantation are charming. Perfect for a golf getaway!
Great tip! I also heard about a mid-week package that includes lunch at the clubhouse—that’s a sweet deal!
I’ve played all the major courses on the island. I’d suggest getting a golf pass that gives you access to multiple courses. It can save you a lot if you plan to play several rounds.

Kauai’s golf scene is amazing, but have you guys tried the mini-golf at the beach resorts? It’s a whole different level of fun; not to mention, it’s often included in your stay!

The sunsets after a long round at the courses are magical. Just remember, bring plenty of sunscreen; even a short game can lead to a painful burn!

Haha, mini-golf is fun, but nothing beats the real deal! Unless I’m putting on a giant pizza slice… then I might reconsider!
Seriously, the best golf package might just be at the local resorts during the off-peak season. Have you checked that out? It can save families a lot of money.
When I visited last year, I found some great family deals. Most resorts have them; just call and ask specifically about golf packages—they’re often not prominently advertised!
