    As Brandon said it starts out so-so but then it gets fun, some very challenging holes and water. I will be back in April of 2010.

    The course starts out so-so as the course begins in the heart of Lihue, but it just gets better and better throughout the round. While the Kauai Lagoons is under the knife, be sure to come here for a round - as it's probably less expensive to boot.
