Ke’alohi Par 3 Golf Course

The Ke’Alohi Golf Course (Par 3) is Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam’s baby sister to its 18-​hole championship course, Mamala Bay. Ke’Alohi Par 3 is just 9-​holes that measures 1435 yards or 2870 yards for 18-​holes. It plays as a par 27 for men and a par 29 for women. The holes range from 100 to 200 yards so as you might imagine, you don’t need a full set of clubs.
When we come here to practice, we usually bring just 3 clubs and focus on our short game. We like that this course can be played at night until 10:00 pm under field lights and you’re kept cool by the evening breezes with no worries about getting sunburned. Green fees are very inexpensive and range from $ 6 to $ 11, dependent upon your military or civilian status. For the inexpensive fee, don’t be looking for a well-​manicured or lush course with water features or fancy course layout. However, like with all golf courses, proper attire and etiquette is important.
This course attracts many experienced and beginner golfers… patience is key while the pace of play can sometimes get bogged down. For those more experience players, might I suggest that you search your memories of when you began golfing and for the beginners, please understand that golf is a SPORT that has rules and a time frame. With that in mind, let’s all just go out to have fun!
Rating 3.5 rounding up to 4 stars for the flexibility of hours of operation and friendly staff.

Excellent for a quick cheap round of nine. take advantage of the special play nine pay half price for another nine. Also had a glow ball tournament out here and was fun for the whole family. Great to brush up on short game and get some work with irons. No hazards, the ninth can play as a par 4 from the back of the box. The only down side is the greens have quite a bit of disease.

Yesterday my son and I went to the Par 3 to get quick 9 holes for old times (I took him here in the past to help with his hand/​eye coordination for baseball during the off season). Then we met one of his co-​workers/​friends from NJ, it was a blast. The greens still need some work, even-​though they irrigated them a couple of weeks ago. It will be nice if some of the staff would be more friendlier (but it seems like that is a pre-​req to work there… cheer up and spread some Aloha Spirit !!!) But the over all, the time we spent together was priceless!!!

Went on a weekday afternoon and I felt like I had all 9 holes to myself. Perfect way to brush up your irons and approach shots.
Greens were a little bit slow for my taste, fairways were mainatined decently. No traps or hazards, so it’s a super forgiving course.
Great place for novices and beginners or those wanting to feel good about getting on in 1 shot.
Nice little pro shop too and the guy was super helpful. $ 9 – 11 for the round and $ 2.50 for the push cart.

Nice and easy course!

For a simple par 3, this course is perfect on working on improving your shots, especially the short game. It is a very basic course, but as you’re not paying much, it is perfect. I don’t even think they have carts available as it is a super easy course to walk — my husband and I have done both the push carts and carried (we have carry bags). Carrying is easy, especially as you don’t even need to bring all your clubs.
A good course to get out for a few hours, practice some shots, have a few drinks and be out in the sun. If you have people learning (kids or adults) this would be a great course to take them to — there is no pressure to hurry and everyone seems relaxed to allow those in front of them to take their time.

Great fun!

Great for working on your short game. A big plus is cost to play which brings my friends and I back regularly. A game and push cart rental cost me less than $ 10. We spend a lot more on alcohol here 8D.
The staff are easy going and clubs are available to rent for no more than $ 5 from what I remember. You can get beer at the bar and borrow a cooler to keep them cold while playing. They usually have deals where certain beers are $ 2.50 or $ 3. There’s also a restaurant but only had their chicken wings which we enjoyed.
Lots of parking. The course is pretty flat and like the putting green are in good condition. Although, there was one hole w/​several leaves on the green from a tree overhead. Overall good course for kids and beginners. I prefer to play here at night because there’s less golfers and it can get pretty hot in the day.
Non military and non DOD just need to be sponsored in.

The bar the Puka makes the par 3. rank does not matter and the drinks are cheep. St. Pete the bartender is the man

My first time ever playing golf was here. It was fun. The staff was friendly, you can rent or buy everything you need, and there is a bar for food and drink when you are done.

This is the best Par 3 course on the Island. If you can get someone to sponsor you or you are military yourself, try play here. It’s great for beginners, or people trying to work on their short game.
You can get through the 9 holes par 3 in about 2 hours, depending if the groups in front of you are playing fast.
Since it’s more of a beginners course, I guess you have to expect everyone to be playing a bit slow and also don’t be surprised if people don’t know all the golf etiquette rules while playing here.
Overall this course is in good condition, and really cheap to play.
On Saturdays, they have Keiki golf so it closed from 12 — 4pm. And you have to show up at least 15 minutes before your tee time, if you make one.

Can’t beat the price at this place! My husband is an E6 and we paid $ 16.50 for 2 rounds of 9 holes and one push cart rental (for me… I sweat enough as is!). You can sponsor guests if they are not military… fee is slightly higher for them, but price is atill really good :)
Staff is super friendly, reservations not needed, and it has some great hours (believe it opens around 7 – 7:30 and last golfers can go out until 8:00 pm). They have glow balls you can buy there which really help if you are night golfing :). Greens are average, but everything else makes up for it! Great place for beginners, people teaching kids, or for golfers wanting to work on their short game.

Great place for beginners or a hardcore golfers jonesing to get a couple of shots in, if you miss the twilight deadline at Mamala or Navy Marine. You really don’t need to bring your whole golf bag with you (I mean, you can to show off your bag and clubs). I usually use a hybrid, 7 iron, p-​wedge and a putter for the par 3.
I wouldn’t advise getting blitzed at the Par 3 unless you are with a DD. Security Forces aren’t stupid, they wait outside that area (E-​club is just a few paces away) to see if there are any drunk asses out there. Hopefully you’re lucky and the back gate is still open when you leave!

There’s a bar near the course called the 9^th Puka. It’s a pretty good place to hang out after work. Big screen TV to watch whatever sports is on, free popcorn, good prices on the drinks. They can make a pretty mean Black and Tan. The only down side is that it’s on base, so you are at the mercy of military police if you get caught, and you don’t want to get a DUI on base.

If your Military or know a military person, come check this out! Even if you don;t know how to play that much, this course is pretty easy! Its only a par 3! Short courses and you can play at night, 10 bucks gets you the whole course, plus you can buy some beer and take it with you onto the course, makes a really cool date or something to do with the boys before you go out! Plus, the PUKA (the lil bar next to the course) is pretty laid back and sometimes fills up with some good looking chicks.
