One of the golf clubs I play with had their February outing at Waikele Country Club, a course we hadn’t played for several years. After the round we had drinks and appetizers at the club’s restaurant. Yay, it was open to golfers! One of the issues that stopped our other club from playing at Waikele was due to the restaurant being booked for private parties. While we understood the rationale, it was disheartening to find that we couldn’t enjoy a post-round meal due to lack of space. Golfers would have to sit out on the patio and there aren’t enough tables and seating if the course is busy. The menu was new (to us) … We opted for the Garlic Fries ($14), Kalua Pork Nachos ($20) and the Fried Chicken Wings ($20), in addition to beers and a Diet Coke for me. Service from two waitstaff were great … The food, not so great. What happened? The fries were fine, the chicken wings looked fine but were a touch overcooked so they were somewhat dry, but the big disappointment was the nachos. Two types of chips, a generous portion of kalua pork, grilled onions, and lots of shredded cheddar (or American) cheese, and spring onion … It should have been great. What let it down was an insufficient amount of sauce. As a result, the dish was dry and underwhelming. I have to give the restaurant a rating of 2.5 to 3; call us disappointed.

I'd never been to this establishment before and was surprised at how great it was! There's a nice variety of dishes to choose from on their manu, the service is attentive & friendly, their prices are reasonable, and there's ample free parking. If you go for dinner the sunset views are spectacular! On certain evenings they have local musical groups entertaining diners as well (it can get loud, so request outside dining if you prefer a quieter setting), and membership isn't required for dining. I highly recommend enjoying a lunch or dinner here!

Flies, flies, flies! If you don't mind flies buzzing around you and trying to alight on your food or having to send your food back to the kitchen because it's undercooked, then this is the place for you. However, if you prefer not to have to keep waving your hand to keep the flies off your food while you eat, then you may want to choose another location for lunch. The service is really excellent, though.

I’m beginning to learn that some of the best diners are located on a golf course. This one was no exception. The menu was quite extensive consisted mainly Hawaiian, Western, Korean and Japanese. I had the “seasonal special” of deep fried butter fish bones that came in a sauce akin to Chinese steamed fish sauce with Chinese cabbage and rice. It was delicious, the sauce was on point. It was better than other butter fish I have had on the island. The other dish we tried was the Waikele fried chicken with all dark meat. That was also very tasty as well. The service was very good and the sitting area was a bit dated, but still comfortable with a nice view of the driving range.

Great place to meet people for food and drinks.
