This course is the home of a couple rounds of the USPMGA U.S. Open tournament (www.mastersnationalchamps.com). While this venue does have two 18-hole courses, only one is used for tournament play at this time. Both courses were solid courses, with average difficulties and creativity for the holes. They are both championship style courses and are in good condition, although one course had better carpeting than the other at the time of play and the one that wasn’t being used for tournament play had starting areas that were very poorly marked. There are a couple of tricky holes on a each course, but there’s nothing that too challenging to the average player. Also, as with the other Hawaiian courses mentioned above, the soundtrack is quiet good and family friendly. The most outstanding parts of these courses are the full-size steam train engine and caboose that were airlifted onto the course. They fit into the overall theme of a mining town/village and act as very visible landmarks. While this course is definitely worth playing while in the area, we would recommend visiting it’s sister courses first as they tend to have a little more to offer in the way of overall experience.
