Bay View Golf Course

SUPER EXPENSIVE ! $$$$$ $ 15 for one person for 18 holes! Damaged courses and broken holes ! so it’s not even 18 holes you payed for … they don’t inform you if it’s broken or not. bad experience

Pricing info for Soccer Golf
$ 11 a person, $ 2 for ball rental. If you need to rent balls, go before 4pm. Course closes at 6pm.
For comparison, Turtle Bay also offers Soccer Golf, but is slightly more expensive.
Great for a birthday or a party or a friends getogether!

Nice and convenient area, friendly and helpful customer service… But the people that was playing footgolf was right on us every fricken hole! Idk man I don’t think I’ll ever come back to this place!

Back nine is terrible because of the construction. I hope they finish it soon. But, the driving range is awesome. The folks there are extremely nice.

This is the first time I’ve ever been mini-​golfing in over 10 years, and it’s exactly how I remembered it. The greens for the course didn’t look too bad, but they definitely need some attention. Even the pond was filled with algae! There were some tadpoles in the ponds, so I thought that was cool, but I think they need some fish that will eat the algae as well. I was watching people at the driving range, and I think I would rather try that next time I come here.

Have played this course the last few months with my daughter, she during her golf team season weekly– we love it! The course is in incredible shape, maintained perfectly. The greens are immaculate. It’s an absolute pleasure to play this course. Call ahead to check if big groups are reserving time etc. most of the time you can walk on, and get a cart if you desire. Very reasonable rates, friendly staff, safe and plentiful parking. What more can I say! Hands down my favorite course on the Island.

First time playing there today. Heard a lot if bad things about it before hand. However, I have to say that it was on really good shape. Greens are nice. 12 par 3’s and 6 par 4’s. Some really fun holes, and a couple that are challenging. Good pace of play, inexpensive and friendly staff.

Not a bad spot, very inexpensive and relatively easy. Only kind of annoying thing is the soccer golf that is played on the same course. Bay View is owned by a church and it can’t develop the land because it’s protected, so they’ve opted for trying to get as much money out of it as possible with overloading the place with soccer golf, mini golf, zipline, and of course regular golfing. Even half the parking lot is being rented out to the Nissan dealership!
Again though, for the price, you really can’t complain!

Service has definitely gone down hill. I just don’t know where to start in this review. I love the course, but I really do not like the customer service here.
Let’s start with the check in process: I wasn’t feeling the love. Absolutely no «Aloha.» Correct me if I’m wrong, but we are in Hawaii, right? Or if I cross the mountain range through the tunnel I’m closer the the «Mainland,» right? Maybe that’s it, if you catch my drift.

My husband usually plays on Klipper, but we got word that this course was easy and cheap so we headed over during a mid friday afternoon.

This course seems to be frequented by locals from the area and older golfers. The course was nothing spectacular and it was not too challenging for my beginner husband. We thought the layout of the course was a bit strange and we thought that the greens weren’t being up kept as often as they should be.
That being said, there is a nice breeze since its relatively close to the ocean and The pace of play was great since there weren’t that many people out that day. If you’re looking for a cheap place to play golf and get together with friends for a friendly game of golf, this might be the spot for you!

I went today for a girls birthday party and the views are exceptional! The girls seemed to really enjoy themselves and it had a great pavilion thay wad rented for the evening. I’m not much of a golfer myself but the rates were reasonable and the scenery is lovely. Today was an overcast day otherwise I’d say seat sunscreen. Definitely bring some bug spray!

This was awesome. Here for a managers retreat and it was the best. It was just right for beginners like me. So much fun. Can’t wait to come with family and friends.

I had my wedding ceremony and reception at the clubhouse of Bay View on 9÷27÷14. It was amazing!
Our ceremony was on the lanai that wrapped around the building. The breeze was great and the views were even better. We were able to seat 100+ on the lanai.
The staff at Bay View (Mark and Bill) are so helpful and very easy to work with. Mark responded very quickly to my inquiries and was more than willing to multiple walk throughs of the venue with both me and my planner on separate occasions.
Bill is such a hard worker. We arrived early in the morning to set up and Bill worked right through until the very end. He is such a nice guy and never grumbled once.
Our reception was held in the main room of the clubhouse, which was very convenient for my guests. While they enjoyed pupus, we were able to head downstairs to a private room to freshen up. We also took some great pictures on the golf course!
I highly recommend Bay View for not only weddings, but any kind of party or gathering. It is very affordable, there’s lots of parking, and the people are great!

As my dad put it. Its a «cute» course. Par 3’s and couple 4’s. Good course to practice your irons. Cheap rates too
.
Good weather. Greens were fun and fast

I never played golf before (!) and had a 5 star morning of fun at this somewhat decrepit course with my friends. I suppose if you know anything about golf you might rate it lower than 5 stars.
We went early for a 6:30am tee-​time and that was perfect since it was relatively cool and un-​crowded while we played. It was Saturday morning but we never felt pressed or rushed even though none of us ever made a single hole on par. I was told every hole at this course is par 3 meaning not too difficult but the closest I got to that was 4 on one hole. Other than that I lost a lot of balls, but also found a lot so almost came out even !
The first 9 holes are all grouped together on a fairly flat surface and I was thinking we must just play them all again for the full 18 holes but NOOOO… on the 10^th hole you veer off into this wild trek up into the foothills of the Koolau mountains, resulting in some spectacular ocean and mountain views. We had 5 people and 2 carts (which fit two people per cart) so I chose to walk most of the time and got a great morning of exercise! On these later holes you are shooting up or down mountains and over ponds and marshes. They thoughtfully provided a spotlessly clean thermos of ice water at around the 12^th hole which I was very happy to enjoy.
Staff was very friendly and helpful. The physical facilities are a bit run down and walking over the springy bridges on foot was a bit sketchy at times, but it was correspondingly inexpensive to play and uncrowded.
We hit the driving range after our 18 holes and the driving range was a great time also.
Take WAY MORE golf balls than you think you will need because you will lose a lot of them and chasing them down into the bushes becomes tedious pretty quickly ! Also if you are bringing your own balls (insert joke here) I would mark them with a magic marker because INEVITABLY one of your friends is going to claim that your ball is really their ball, when they forgot where their ball really went, LOL.
I think this course is now owned by a church. Don’t know what’s up with that. I don’t think Jesus was much of a golfer although I know he did wander in the wilderness for a while.

I’m giving the course four stars due to its value. For $ 20 you can play 18 holes on a par 60 course with a cart. Now, Hawaii Kai par 3 is also $ 20 for a round and a cart. But this course is in much better shape. It’s not the same awful course that it used to be. I hadn’t played here in about 5 years and it has come a long way. The greens roll true and are well kept. The fairways and rough could use some work, but still for $ 20 this place is way better than HK par 3. It’s also less crowded and the staff is very friendly. No tee time reservations needed. Plus here you can work a little on some longer irons vs at HK par 3 you can’t. Gonna be coming here a lot more often during my breaks from college.

I always bring my clubs with me when I work, and when I have a project on the windward side I find myself here after work. Most of the time I end up at Bayview for the awesome twilight walking rate of $ 6 after 4pm. Usually the starters tell me to play as many holes as I can! Woohoo!
Since playing the course over the last several years it has really improved. You can actually putt on the greens now! Staff has always been friendly to me, and I’ve never been harassed about practicing on the putting green.
Front nine is a nice an easy yet fun course, and the back nine is challenging with amazing views of the bay. I usually walk the front since the back is so hilly. For first timers, bringing the wife and kids, and just working on your irons, this course is great.
What’s nice is this course is pretty casual and not that busy. This means you don’t get that rush rush feeling or have to look back and see the guys on the tee box with hands on hip, as most people playing here are just having fun, starting out, and just sharing the aloha. I really hate playing courses where you get hands on hip action. I means it’s supposed to be fun, and we all started out shooting horribly (or still do haha), so enough of the anger towards the newbs. That’s what makes this course great.
I recommend this course to anyone who wants to just have fun and maybe bring along the wife n kids. Or if you work late and still want to play 9 holes, you’d have no problem teeing off at 5 pm here.
5 stars for a bargain deal on a pretty nice executive course with great staff!
Enjoy it before it gets crowded, I know I do!

Review for PRIVATE ROOM (which is right next to main office):
I attended a meeting here on a Monday night at 7pm.
PARKING: Easily accessible parking, right off main road. Tons of parking. Nice view of the golf course at night. Very calming and serene ambiance. No noise as residence live all around and across the street.
BATHROOM: Up-​kept and couple stalls. Its on the left hand side of main office. BTW the main office and private room have glass walls so you can see into everything through to the golf course.
PRIVATE ROOM: Very spacious for a theatre style meeting. It can probably hold up to 90 – 100 seats with tables on the sides. It has a huge flat screen. Kind of hot, the A/​C wasnt on but has 5 – 6 fans that you can turn on.
All in all, I’m a fan for spacious meeting places.
**I wish they could offer food or pupus & water, it would be perfect!

DO NOT GO! VERY VERY UNFRIENDLY TO FAMILIES! There is a woman who comes up to you and tells you NOT to use the practice putting green!!! New rule started this month after they changed the practice putting green– but no sign on the green. She said on behalf of management, you cannot use practice putting green unless you pay for the entire course. Manager was too chicken to come out himself. Unbelievable! Most all golf courses on island and around the U.S.A. let you practice regardless. How can this place function without local patrons?
We have been going there for YEARS. Went there when it was first built– was of the YWCA– so nice back then. They used to have a golf shop and dining restaurant upstairs. NOW we are taking our business elsewhere like Olomana & HI Kai Exec. where families are welcome. This place may only roll out to tourists who cannot get a discount. IF YOU HAVE JUNIOR LEAGUE GOLFERS/​FAMILY MEMBERS STARTING OUT TO LEARN, YOU WILL BE VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE STAFF HERE.
BOYCOTT THIS PLACE!!! DO NOT PAY FOR TEE TIME THERE !!!
WE WILL NOT RETURN there, EVER.

Thanks for the positive feedback. The improvement process is going better than expected! Lots of wonderful feedback from players of all levels. The ILH has been holding tournaments the last two weekends and the coaches and players seemed very excited about the new Bay View. The greens are actually looking like greens again and you now know when you are in the fairway or the rough. BCG is doing a wonderful job! Please stop by.
The new Bay View Grill is open now from 6:00am to 2:00pm Monday through Saturday serving breakfast and lunch. Prices are very reasonable and the food is ono! Starting this weekend, the Grill will be having Sunday Brunch from 11:00am to 2:00pm. Look for the Snack shop to re-​open in April, 2012.
Thank you all again for your support and patients with the improvement process. Your feedback, both positive and negative, is greatly appreciated. If you have any new photos, please submit. We want the world to see how much improved Bay View is.
Mahalo!
Jim
