We recently played Kapolei GC over the weekend and upon finishing our round we found out the restaurant closed at 2PM. Despite the course being packed I guess there isn’t enough business for them to stay open longer than 2PM on the weekend which is kind of a bummer and to be honest a deterrent going forward.
It made me think of all the empty spaces on the golf courses on Oahu which used to be eateries at some point in time and how they still sit empty. Municipals especially stand out when thinking of this because I can’t think of one that has one open right now. I’ve heard it’s the way the C&C was running them and how it was not advantageous for businesses to stay or open at the courses. I did however see the Department of Enterprise Services is taking bids for the Ewa Village course. Earlier I swear I saw they were also looking for bids for Pali. Seems like a bold strategy considering these 2 seem to be on the slower side as you can always find tee times on the weekend and during the AM during the week.
On the brighter side, The Clubhouse opened in 2021 at Mililani GC offering breakfast, lunch and dinner. But the real secret is to go after 2PM for their sushi which is flown in from Japan as well as offering dishes from locally caught fish such as Moi (very rare, follow their IG). They also started offering Prime rib on Monday but haven’t gotten around to trying it yet.
Hopefully the future offers more eating options at our local golf courses and just places in general. So many eateries we all grew up with here are slowly closing and it’s a shame. I’m sure the sentiment is the same in other places as well. For now, below is a list of restaurants and hours for restaurants at golf courses locally. (times may have changed so call ahead) Some courses, like Turtle Bay, may have carts going around but I’m omitting them since there’s no actual restaurant on premise as well as private and military courses.
