There are many golf courses near by including one of the most famous, Poipu Bay. The hidden (in plain view) perk at Poipu Bay is the $15 driving range/putting green/ chipping area – which you get unlimited balls and can play all day for the one price! Also they have twilight prices for golf after 2:00 at a reduced rate.

• Kiahuna Golf course is also right in Poipu and is a Robert Trent designed course with some interesting history. Ask about the spider found only on Kauai! Kiahuna Golf Website
• In addition there is a very reasonable public course with amazing views: Kukuiolono Park & Golf Course
• Nearby in Lihue (about 20 minutes) there is the Kauai Lagoons and Puakea Golf
• Then just a little further (25-30 minutes) is another great public course, Wailua Golf Course
• About an hour north at Princeville are more courses as well. Princeville is known for its golf courses, but it can be very rainy up there – so be careful about booking too far ahead without checking on the weather. It takes about an hour to get there from Poipu.
