Forrest,
Count me as one that has played Wailua GC--lauded as one of the busiest courses in all of golf.
The one and only time I played the course was in January 1983, which after playing 18 holes at Billy Bell Jr's Makaha Valley, I felt the need for another 18; walking it in under 4 hours, playing by myself.
The course was virtually empty as it was an late/early Saturday afternoon/evening. I was told that I was never going to finish nine holes. But I did get it all in, and it was just the normal flat muni course that plays near or around the Ala Wai Channel. Nothing special that I can remember.
The coincidence in this is today I was at my local golf store, and the guys started talking about the course, which they were amazed I played in under 4 hours. The rounds there usually last about 6 to 6 1/2! And that is no joke.
The thing is practically on hotel row in Wakiki, and I actually walked to and from the Halikalani carrying my clubs.
All my best,
The Big Kahuna
