What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
West Loch Golf Course is a popular municipal option offering an affordable round of golf on Oahu. While greens are generally well-maintained, some fairways can be patchy. Players appreciate the value, friendly atmosphere, and unique elevated tee boxes, though pace of play can be slow on weekends.
"West Loch is a municipal golf course. It's alright for the price. The front nine is not flat. Expect to go up some hills, but still walkable.
The tee boxes are alright, nothing great about them. There is grass, but in some areas, the grass is sparse and sandy. There are a few interesting holes were you are on an elevated tee box, makes a fun time to see how far you can hit.
The fairways could use some work. There are a lot of areas with dirt patches and no grass throughout the course. The ball rolls out a little further, but if it stops on the dirt patches, watch out for the rocks. Other areas of the fairways have a lot weeds that your club can get stuck on when taking it back, not big difference from the rough. There are a lot of trees and brush on the sides that your ball could get lost in. There are a few holes with water, look ahead, and you'll see it.
The greens are the best part of this course. The grass is pretty smooth, and the ball doesn't bounce around when you putt. There is some undulation on some holes, but most of them are flat with the green tilted, so there is still some break. The bunkers don't have a lot of sand in them and may be harder to hit out of.
Amenities:
-No driving range
-Putting green - there is a small putting green by the club house
Chipping area - there is are by the first hole that people warm up on Chipping
There is now a restaurant that serves food at the clubhouse, and they do have a concession stand at hole 10."

"Dope muni to play at. The price for residents is just right and the course has active improvements being made, but non that interfered with play. They advertised a driving range, but I never saw any evidence of one. It had a squirrelly layout but it was easy enough to follow. I would recommend trying to play during the week, as it didn't seem like there was a Marshall or staggering of tee times. We didn't have any pace of play issues but I could see it being an issue on the weekends.
Thanks guys!"

"I’m not sure what the issue was today (19 July) but we were waiting more than what we were playing. We were stacking at least 3 different groups at a time waiting to tee. It seemed like they were just trying to get as many people as they can on the course without waiting managing time appropriately. The greens were subpar at best especially when they were charging $350 for 4 people. 10/10 would not recommend, especially if you are paying non-resident rate."
