I have taken golf lessons from different golf instructors in the past but Andrew is by far the…read morebest! He is knowledgeable (graduate of the Golf Academy of America ) and individualizes his teaching in a way that I can understand and remember by using analogies and props. Andrew teaches both at the driving range and putting green. His feedback is always helpful and on point. I learn something new with each lesson and have seen improvements with my golf swing. His lessons are enjoyable and he makes golf fun. Other golfers have also approached me after my lesson to request Andrew's contact information. That's how good he is!

Andrew is one of the best golf coaches in Hawaii for all skill levels…read more After not having golfed for maybe 10 years, I finally decided to get back into the sport. Prior to my golfing hiatus, I had taken quite a few lessons over the span of a year. My best friend was looking at getting into the sport, so I suggested that she take lessons to build a good foundation for her game. Unfortunately, it was difficult for me to find openings for the golf coach that I previously worked with due to his popularity. I had been using the driving range at Bay View to improve my game. It was there that I casually met Andrew Ka-Ne. I explained that I was looking for a golf coach and talked story with him to get a feel for his overall golf and coaching philosophies. We exchanged contact info and he texted me about his rates and availability. Andrew has the best hourly rates in Hawaii, and provides more instruction and support than other coaches charging double his rates. Simply put, Andrew is an excellent coach and his rates do not accurately reflect the value he provides. Andrew's golf philosophy is a nice blend of old and modern swing theory, supplemented by a strong integration of cutting edge golf technology (i.e. FlightScope Mevo+, swing cameras) and swing aides (i.e. wrist angle straps, alignment tools, ball striking tools, weight transfer board, etc.). Golf as a whole has significantly changed since the time I took lessons and, unlike other coaches, Andrew's view of the game is not stuck in the 1990s, 2000s, or 2010s. After sitting through a few of his lessons with my best friend and seeing her improve significantly, I was convinced that Andrew has a lot to offer. He is knowledgeable and encouraging and he has a very keen eye for spotting problematic swing mechanics. Andrew is very good at designing various drills to accomplish the same thing. He told me that every student learns differently, and it is about teaching in a way that clicks with the student's brain. Many other coaches are rigid in their approach and force their students into swing mechanics that mimic the touring pros (i.e. wrist angle must be exactly X degrees, rotation must be exactly X amount, spine angle must match [insert name] tour pro, etc.). This is not Andrew. He understands that people are built differently and assists his students with creating the most efficient swing within their own physical capabilities and utilizing their personal strengths. One of the things that I admire the most about Andrew is his commitment and dedication to golf. He will be around for decades to come, which is one of the main things I weighed when looking for a coach. Ideally, you want your coach to be available as you continue on your golf journey. This is especially helpful if you hit a plateau or see your scores flattening out. At that point, it is crucial to have a coach that can provide a series of "refresher" lessons to get you back on track. Overall, I think that Andrew has the most comprehensive approach to improving his students' games, and he genuinely cares about the achievement of his students. Without a doubt, Andrew goes above and beyond and exceeds all expectations.

As luck would have it, the person who reached out and was available at the time was the head PGA instructor Oliver. I was a little unprepared (no clubs, no gloves), but Oliver was very much go with the flow and was able to accomodate me. He asked me what I wanted to work on, and that's exactly what we did. I improved immensely, because Oliver was able to quickly diagnose the main problems with my swing and explain in an uncomplicated way (without too many "swing thoughts"). I'm excited to go home and practice/implement the changes to my swing.

We were promised a certain price from the Mizuno Rep (Russ Chong) and he told us Oliver (Island Pacific Golf Academy) would bill us and call us when the clubs came in. A week before the clubs came in, our credit card was charged $400 more than the original price. I tried to get a hold of the Mizuno rep with no response and Oliver keeps giving us the run around. To this day he hasn't given us a refund. This was a hard and expensive lesson to learn. Don't do business with Oliver Oliquiano. From other reviews I've read it seems like he has a habit of ripping people off. Shame on him! Especially in Hawaii where the golf community is so tight knit!

I ended up purchasing a set of golf clubs anyway and have been pretty happy with them but I wanted to get a professional's opinion on my shafts, gapping, and lofts. So, I scheduled a club fitting at GolfTec by Ala Moana and was assigned to Justin. Justin was super helpful and didn't make me feel like an idiot. He spoke plainly and at a level I could understand... And he genuinely seemed to love what he did as an instructor and club fitter. He had me hit a couple of 7 irons and looked at what was already in my bag. He said he thought what I had was good for where I'm at but built me an updated version of my 7 iron with a different shaft just to check it out. He must've had it ready because he came back into the room in less than five minutes. He talked me through a couple of things and then showed me some video of myself swinging next to a prerecorded pro. He gave me two tips and said he wouldn't charge me for the visit. I was super grateful. After leaving, I took his tips straight to Ala Wai Driving Range and immediately hit the ball better. Needless to say, I'll be heading back for lessons sometime in the near future. Thanks so much, GolfTec and Justin!

BEST VENUE FOR YOUR WEDDING!!  We had our wedding at KGC on Sunday, 10/19/25, and it was the best…read moredecision we made.   Pros: - Beautiful landscaping - the venue overlooks the lush green golf course and had a beautiful sunset - Provides both ceremony and reception space in the same building - our ceremony took place in the Breezeway with floor to ceiling windows and cathedral-like ceilings, and we utilized both the Tee Room and Main Dining Room.  Other ceremony options were the 8th tee and the gazebo, which were outdoors and wouldn't accommodate our big Filipino and Portuguese families LOL!  The other reception space was the lanai, which we used for our pupu/cocktail hour and was open for the guests to roam around and enjoy the outdoor scenery - Because of having both the ceremony and reception spaces in the same spot, less traveling and time wasted in between   - The main dining room has 4 TVs that can be utilized during the event. We used 2 of them to play our slideshow throughout the wedding. I would program the slideshow ahead of time to make it play continuously and export them onto a thumb drive that they'll connect to the TVs (one thumb drive per TV) - The venue itself is big and open - Venue is in Kapolei, but quiet and was away from the busy highway - Free parking - Breezeway accommodated our 120 guests - Reception spaces accommodated our 230 guests - Food was super good!! - Service was friendly and professional - Bar service did NOT skimp on alcohol hehe - Their main venue coordinator, Tracy, was knowledgeable, patient, and easy to talk to - They also work with you to make the floorplan (table arrangements, vendor spaces such as the photobooth, DJ space, etc., sweetheart table, etc etc).  - 3-entrée buffet which included rice, mac salad, and dessert was around $68 per person (could be a con, depending on your own financial situation).  We had the garlic parm chicken, salmon beurre blanc, and braised beef (we originally had the 2 first entrée choices with the prime rib - BEST decision was changing it to the braised beef last minute because it was SOOOOOOOOO ONO!  And cheaper)    - Men's locker room is huge, clean and newer - used for the groom and groomsmen to get ready - Once you choose KGC, they provide a list of vendors (décor, entertainment, equipment, etc.) and they are familiar with the venue and layout   Cons: - Women's "bridal suite" is the women's locker room - small, clean and had lockers for the bridal party, but got the job done before the ceremony.  We got ready at a nearby hotel b/c it would've been too small for myself and my 6 bridesmaids to get ready - Provides 1.5 hours before the start of the event for the vendors and "helpers" to set up (I had a good amount of our own decor and equipment and didn't want to get in the way of the KGC and vendor staff) - Many events are held at KGC (night market, weddings, birthdays, retirement parties, etc), which means the venue coordinators are constantly busy and may take some time to get back to you   Overall, KGC took great care of us during our wedding, and we booked them about a year before our wedding.  We couldn't do the nitty gritty planning until maybe 3-4 months before the date, which included menu tasting, head counts, and final details but that allowed us to work on other wedding things.  The KGC staff worked with us from day 1 and we had an AMAZING wedding with so many memories and fun times with friends and family.  Speaking of which, they also gave us positive feedback about the overall venue and wedding.  Thank you KGC team and I'm excited to book future events!

They were running a special for $225/player (normally $275) with a 10-day advanced booking. They need a credit card to hold the reservation and you pay upon arrival. We had a 10:50 tee time and everything ran on time and check-in was smooth. Once checked-in, you'll present your receipt to the staffer who will give you a small bucket of balls. They took our clubs at the parking lot stand and placed the clubs on our cart. We grabbed a few clubs and walked over to the grass range, which was in decent shape. The course is great for all skill levels because it's pretty wide open and very well manicured. The rough is cut down pretty low so even if you miss the fairway, you still gotta shot at it. Playing the blues, the course is pretty long but manageable. The greens were in great shape and bunkers were great looking, although luckily I didn't have to play out of any of them. While it's a well maintained course, I thought the layout was kinda boring and predictable. Lots of good views and photo ops around the course, although the course has minimal ocean views. We had some vouchers from our hotel which we could use at the pro shop but not the snack bar. We ended up with a couple of bag tags, ball markers and a logo ball (gift set) which they engrave your name in the bag tag which is pretty cool for $20 for everything. The rest of the pro shop is pretty pricey though. Overall, glad we got to play it. I think the price point is what would keep me from playing again, but it's hard to beat when it's less than 5 minutes from our hotel. We got paired with a great couple, shout out Chuck and Cindy who were also visiting. It made for a memorable and fun day out on the course.

Little by little, the pain started to ease, and I was finally able to dance without the sciatica holding me back. Because of Kimo's patience, knowledge, and care, I was able to step onto that Mokihana stage and do what I love--HULA! That meant more to me than he will ever know.
