I cannot say enough good about the staff or golf course at Hoakalei.  This is one of the most beautiful and challenging golf courses on Oahu and they have an Executive Chef who has elevated the food to to the PGA Pro level.  The entire staff works with a feeling of Aloha, which quite frankly you find less and less in Hawaii these days.  Forget the fact that there is no clubhouse and the kitchen is nothing more than a portable trailer.  This place puts out some of the best food on the Island and I think they have some of the best sandwiches which makes it a secret gem if you are on this side of the Island during lunch time.  Easter Brunch here was perfect.  The setting behind the temporary Pro Shop  was under a small canopy and large tent.  The weather was picture perfect and it was warm but very comfortable outside.  They had a man singing and playing acoustic guitar under the tent and he was amazing.  Helped make this day so relaxing and enjoyable that none of us really wanted to leave.  
The food was excellent.  We especially liked the Herb Crusted Striploin, Crab Claws and Linguine with Mahi Mahi.  My Wife liked the Apple Salad so much that she requested the recipe from the kitchen.  You could tell that this was a buffet that stressed quality over quantity.  There was a wide variety of food selections and everything we tried was good.  The only thing that we did not try is the Ahi Poke.  It was dark black in color and did not look appetizing at all.  Normally Ahi Poke is vibrant red which indicates freshness.  The desserts were all above par and the Cheesecake was one of the best we have ever tasted.  After a great meal we hijacked a golf cart and drove all 18 holes of the golf course.  This was the first time seeing the entire course for my Wife and Daughter.   When we returned back to the Pro Shop they actually wanted to drive the 18 holes again because they enjoyed it so much and thought it was beautiful.  Beautiful it is - and the food is good here too!

  1. I am glad to know about your excellent experience. I can see that you enjoy restaurant food a lot. Well, no doubt this food looks very yummy and well cooked. Isn’t so? Well, I always try new local San Francisco restaurants once a week as I am foodie too.
