Bird of Paradise Vacation Renal Home is in the middle of world-class golf courses

The PGA Grand Slam course, Poipu Bay Golf, is within walking distance from Bird of Paradise Home.   Trent Jones designed Kiahuna Golf Course is a mile away and The Kalaheo Golf course with its heavenly views (even if you do not play golf just the views are worth a visit) and amazingly cheap rates is a ten minutes drive away. The Kukui Grove golf course and The Lagoons golf courses are in Lihue ~ 20 min drive.  If you want more variety there is the Wailua Municipal golf course (very cheap) and The Princeville golf courses all of which are rated among the best in the USA.

Here is what we recommend about the golf courses nearby the Bird of Paradise Poipu Kauai Vacation rental Home.
For the golfing enthusiast: (Disclaimer- I am not a golf player but I like to run on the golf courses and watch the scenery).  Nearby the Bird of Paradise there are three golf courses: The Poipu Bay (Home of PGA grand slam), to which you can walk if you like; Kiahuna (Trent Jones designed) a mile away and Kukuilono (nine holes only) about eight to ten miles away.

Each has their advantages. The Poipu Bay course is simply spectacular against the Pacific Ocean with the Ha’upu mountain range in the background. It is also the priciest $185 for a morning session with decreasing prices for shorter sessions later in the day. (I have a note at the bottom of this e-mail from Poipu manager). I love to run on the course just before sunrise and watch the sunrise from at the southeast end of the course by the ocean.

Kihauna golf course is a very good golf course for half the price of Poipu Bay (you don't have to rent a cart) but the views are not as spectacular as the Pipu Bay or Kukuiolono.

My favorite is Kukuilono (remember that I am not a golf player) a local public course in Kalaeho it costs about $ 7 to play and another $6-8 for a cart. These low prices are thanks to the original donor of the land Mr. McBride, who wanted the locals to have access to cheap golf. The greens are not as well kept as the Poipu Bay course or Kihauna but the scenery rivals the best golf courses anywhere. You have 270 degree views of the mountains and the Pacific Ocean under your feet. If you are there in the afternoon and want to watch the sunset or have a picnic after your round of nine holes you will not regret it. I think you can get a monthly card for only $20.

If you are willing to drive twelve to thirteen miles to Lihue, there is the Lagoons golf course which is also by the ocean and pricey like the Poipu Bay. There is also a Kukui Grove golf course but have not been on the course and you do not have the Ocean as a background. Another eight miles will get you to Wailua golf county golf course which is one of the best public golf courses by the Wailua Bay, the greens fees are only ~$20. Twenty miles more takes you the Princeville Golf courses all three of which are spectacular (especially the Prince) and just as Pricey as the Poipu Bay course.

So all in all you have nine (two of which are public) golf courses all of which are very scenic and at four of which at one time or other have been hosts to PGA tour.

Here is the brief information from Don Renteria who you can talk to and mention that you hear from the Bird of Paradise Home.
