I come to celebrate birthdays, promotions, hale/farewells, dates and to just hang out with family or friends. No matter the reason coming here will always cheer you up. It's very affordable, the food is good and plenty parking after 5 or on the weekends. I went in the morning for the first time and learned they have breakfast. I usually get the nachos and wings fried hard with extra sauce. Since it was breakfast I got the Loco Moco with extra gravy. My daughter got the bacon, eggs and rice combo. The parking before 4pm on a weekday is horrible. Everyone on Shafter is at work during that time. So they park there as well. Since it's hardly any parking on Shafter. I came at 9 am on a Thursday and walked 5 minutes from my car to the door. The pro shop here does offer to help you pick bowling merchandise. Based on your bowling skills. I would suggest to go during pro shop hours and when it's not busy. I plan to go on Monday. I'm finally going to buy a ball. Since the gift card was gifted to me for my birthday.

The Liliha district of Honolulu is primarily residential, but has its share of commercial areas…read morethat makes this part of Honolulu quirky and a place to visit when you're in the neighborhood, like I was. With that said, I came here to Pu'unui community park pretty much out of the blue, just to check things out. With the COVID-19 pandemic in full swing, it helps the individual to be outdoors and enjoy while also being mindful about the social distancing and wearing the face mask too. I arrived here on a Sunday afternoon after commuting from Waikiki around 3pm on a cloudless May 2020 day. The park itself was quite small with a sizable open space for a baseball field and a space to play any sports imaginable. There's also a basketball court that is sort of enclosed in a building type structure. There's also a building that may or may not be a multi-use building of some sort. Not sure if there are public restrooms available on property, since I tried to find one, but didn't seem to locate one during my experience here. I was the only person there during my stay here and spent about 1 hour here enjoying the area and seeing this side of residential Liliha through its community park. It's nice that there was no visible homeless issues here during my time here and the ambiance was quite nice and also quiet. The park itself was basically nice and maintained by the good folks at the City and County of Honolulu Parks department. The overall experience here at Pu'unui community park was nice, although somewhat inadequate. There was no place to sit down like a bench or anything I saw. Sitting on concrete steps or leaning against the wall was my only options during my stay here. Maybe they took the benches away because of COVID-19 pandemic, which could be the case. I spent my time h ere at this park by looking around, walking the perimeter a bunch of times to kill the time and to get in the usual exercise, and trying to find the restroom facility - but to no avail. I enjoyed the ambiance of this quiet park nestled in the quiet Liliha district of urban Honolulu. It's so quiet that hardly any traffic buzzed through the area while I was there. It is pretty cool that there is a basketball court for those who enjoy the game as well as the baseball diamond. For myself though, walking around the perimeter works best and had a nice time doing so. If you are in the area and want a place to relax on a weekend or after a day at the office, consider making a stop here at the Pu'unui community park before you head on home. As with many community parks around the island, it's the second best thing to the ocean to de-stress after a tough day at the office. Pu'unui community park is located at 2555 Puunui Avenue in the heart of Liliha. As all community and neighborhood parks go, there is no admission fee required to gain access to its grounds. During the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, parks were previously closed to the public, but this order was lifted in late April 2020 to help support physical exercise and wellbeing for all citizens. So, you can come here (and any park) for your workouts - just no picnics or other non-physical exercise related activity. Many of y'all drive, so parking options are basically limited to any open residential parking spots you can find and park there. If you are like me, there's only 1 bus route that comes here and that's route 13. There's one other bus route that services the upper Liliha area, but it doesn't come close to this community park. That route is 10. There are routes 1L, 2, and 2L, but they only run on North School Street and Liliha. Best bet would be to bus it on the 13 really. For the most part though, finding solace can be found here at Pu'unui community park. Youth team games are played here as well as evening pick up basketball games with the locals. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. Open spaces are your friends! And its free! Support local! A+

Those three things alone keep me coming back. Don't let the price fool you though. This course can be a real challenge. There are hazards everywhere, and it definitely rewards accuracy over power. If you can consistently play well here, you'll probably find a lot of other courses feel much easier by comparison. The course isn't perfect, but it's a fantastic place to sharpen your game without spending a fortune. Whether you're practicing or just looking to get a round in after work, Pali is a solid choice and one I'll keep coming back to.

I'm not a golfer but my kid recently caught the golf bug. Last year he got himself a golfer ID,…read morewhich allows minors to play for free at municipal courses. Somehow Pali Golf Course is the one he wants to go to the most. I came along as a rider (no charge; cart fee $26) yesterday and I could see why. 90% of the course's aesthetics has nothing to do with design and all credit to Mother Nature. It's always so lush and green. I'd imagine it's constantly cool and breezy coz of its strategic valley-ish location. The "amenities" definitely look their age (50+ years old). There is no snack bar, just one vending machine. There is a pro shop but limited hours; it was closed when we were there. Bathrooms are clean, with soap and paper towels, even the one by the 3rd and 15th tee boxes. The road though... so many potholes. It was just us two for our 9:18 tee time. The very friendly lady behind the check-in window was super kind and helpful and encouraging to the kid. She warned us it was a busy day, which we found out later probably meant the pace of play would be slow. Took approx 5 hours for all 18 holes, and only coz the trio in front of us very kindly and warmly invited the kid to play with them ("we have to wait anyway might as well wait together!") It's a very no-frills course. Minimally staffed as well, and most that I've seen are middle-aged or older. Most groups use the cart but I have seen a few use pushcarts. Seems like a rather hardcore course! Also kinda scary when errant balls can come from any direction because the holes snake from 1st to 18th. (I heard someone tell "Fore!" coz their ball curved so much to the right.) It was windy yesterday. I packed a jacket and blanket for my legs and for sun protection. I also packed snacks. Fortunately there are trash cans throughout the course, so there wasn't too much litter, most of which were smashed tees.

They split everybody up in two groups and they had two different teachers. Normally there is a shortage of male dancers. And there is plenty to dance with. After an hour of classes. The classes were brought back together for social dancing. Everyone was super friendly There are different dance clubs that offer classes throughout the week and monthly.

I saw many mixed reviews but I personally enjoyed my time on this course!!! The views, sounds,…read moreeverything was phenomenal. It was peaceful and the pace was a bit slow but everyone was courteous of others. My husband (the actual golfer in this relationship) said he thought it was only alright for the price you pay. He said it's beautiful scenery but they don't do a good enough job sainting the greens. I will say, it also poured down that day. If it wasn't for us arriving after the storm passed, they would've rescheduled us. We paid: $200 per golfer $80 to be a rider $80 rental $30 ball rental $100 Royal Hawaiian golf shirt $60 per golf hat They had a two person per golf cart policy. So if you're a single rider and it's a busy day you might be paired up. The golf cart was nice because it told you how far your in yardage your ball was, it had Bluetooth to play music from your phone, and a GPS. The course is huge so these were all great functions that added to the experience. ALSO, There was tons of wildlife throughout the course that we took pictures of!!!! If you loose your balls you're cooked, it's literally like golfing in the jungle. Overall, we'll check out another golf club whenever we go back. We had fun, but it was good for a one time visit.

Royal Hawaiian Golf Course is one of the most beautiful courses on the Windward side, but don't let…read morethe scenery fool you... this course is no joke. The fairways are narrow, there are drop-offs everywhere, and accuracy is absolutely critical. Bring your A-game because if you're slightly off the tee, you'll be searching for golf balls all day. I would strongly recommend bringing extra balls because this course can be unforgiving. What makes the challenge worthwhile is the breathtaking scenery. The course is surrounded by lush mountains and tropical landscape that make every hole feel amazing. If you're looking for a challenging round of golf in one of the most scenic settings in Hawaii, Royal Hawaiian should definitely be on your list. I'll be back soon.

However, as soon as I took my seat at our table I was offered Red wine and water:) We were served and endless amount of Summer Salad, Basket Fries and macaroni salad. I didn't find myself wanting much of the macaroni salad, but loved the unique presentation of the Summer salad. I would definitely return for another networking event and recommend you sit where you can see the fireworks.

Lanakila District Park is located on the corner of N. School St. and Lanakila Ave. You can't miss…read moreit. There's a big baseball/softball field on the corner and the gym is located further up Lanakila Ave. They might have other activities in the area but I'm not too sure. They have a small parking lot located between the baseball field and the gym. Otherwise you can park on the street or across Lanakila Ave., there is a health center that you can park at on certain days that they're closed. I've been here a bunch of times either to play volleyball or basketball... mostly volleyball. I used to play in some tournaments on Sundays and weeknights over here and parking can get busy. Now I just go on Saturday afternoons to play in the open court with friends. It switches back and forth between here and Palolo Gym. PROS: Pros are that it's located in the middle between the eastside of the island and the westside. They also have padded flooring. The floor looks like wood but if you actually press down on the floor you can see that it gives in a little. They did this renovation a few years back. So if you fall down or go for a dive, hopefully your chances of getting back up in one piece is on the higher side. It's not super soft to the point where when you bounce a ball you can tell a difference. It's hardly noticeable. There's also quite a bit of parking. I've never had trouble with this even when it's super busy. CONS: This place can get really hot. I don't think it's well ventilated. It's also a small gym with one full court and two smaller courts running perpendicular across the full court and bleachers on one side of the gym. That's all the space you'll have. Maybe a few feet more on the perimeter. So it's a small gym which can make it stuffy and hot if they're a lot of people in there. Final Comments: This place is your typical district park gym but a bit on the smaller side. But the convenience of the location and the padded flooring is nothing to complain about. Bathrooms are okay. None the cleanest or the dirtiest. Overall Rating: "EXCELLENT" Great place with okay facilities. But still great nonetheless.
