Leilehua Golf Course - Wahiawā

Hasn't played leilehua for years. now it played 4 times a month! one of the best places on the islands. the curs is in good shape. I hope it does what looks like to be a hot summer, uncatched. the fairways are generous and in quite good shape. the rough is in some spots, but still very playable. it can be thick, right around the green, but fair. sand traps are in good shape and have driven a good amount of sand vs local muni cement dirty. the greens are good. very subtle pauses against the 80s leilehua, when everything broke into the pine fields. I guess as the pine fields left, so the rule was also gone, if they didn't play for one because, are many trees that used to define some holes. 3 looks completely different with the huge tree, the piercing that it really is a dog bone long gone. Moreover, all the ironwoods that are 3 out of 6 are just a memory. the huge tree hanging over 4’s right side is cut away or a brow back. after my fading memory the huge tree, which has jutted into the right side of 14, is gone. used to fit a duck hook player. eating in leilehua was always good. a very cut-down menu leaves some decent decisions for the reciprocating grinding. hit her right now!

This is more 3.5 even 3.75 stars. Above average course that the US Army MWR tries hard to maintain with a more than functional practice area covered matted driving range, chipping and putting . What keeps this from being 4 star or greater is how difficult it is to get a tee time. Preference is more active duty military which, as a Veteran is good with me, but there are a lot of non active duty folks with early tee times somehow.

I'm not sure what it is about Leilehua, but playing here is always a fun time. The course is challenging, the layout is fun, and for me it always feels like I'm transported to another place. It almost doesn't feel like Hawaii. We always say the big trees make it seem like it's somewhere in the mainland. At the course it's normally raining, or wet, which means the course which is already pretty long plays even longer than it normally does. The fairways can get muddy but they are in decent shape. The green complexes are always pretty unique and I would say the greens are better than most municipal places. Because it's so wet they really only do 90 degree rule, or cart path only. This course does get a ton of walking play and can get busy in the afternoons. The earlier you book the tee time the better. If you don't have a full foursome they will pair you up. Sometimes that means 3 guys in a cart and one walker. Usually that's not too bad but sometimes can slow you down. The pro shop staff are always pretty ok with me, but that's mostly because I know what they need from me, name, tee time , payment and ID. I try to make their job easier. I can see how some people would have a hard time with them, or would say they can be rough around the edges but they are usually pretty nice. Trying to book a tee time over the phone is impossible though, thankfully the new online system works really well. The course has a pretty good practice area complete with a covered driving range, a chipping area with a bunker, and a practice green. Great for a pre round warm up. The restaurant at Leilehua is also really good, just make sure to call in your order if you are going to have some food at the turn. If not you should just wait until after because sometimes the food does take a while to come out. Overall, great spot, will continue to patronize.

One of the nicest golf courses in hawaii . It's kept to emasculate and the greens are impressive. They also have a great club house for relaxing after a long 18 holes...as well as one of best driving ranges with reasonable rates.
