POA Golf Excursions

[Sunshine summertime]

We were on this cruise in 2007 and they had a golf pro and booked tee times. Is this still the case?

According to a golf website:

 

Pride of America golf excursions in Hawaii are no longer available for purchase onboard the ship or through the NCL Reservations Department or from the onboard Shore Excursion Desk.

 

Norwegian Cruise Lines abandoned golf shore excursion offerings and onboard Golf PRO Shop merchandise and PGA Pro lessons on the Pride of America in 2016.

Yes, they no longer offer golf excursions.

Husband rented car and drove to courses himself.  We reserved ahead of time.

Thanks- it was very convenient last time. Hubby will have to research and schedule them.

We recently cruised POA. For Kauai, we booked at Hokuala direct, which is the course you sail past on the way in. They provided a shuttle for $10 return. Play on first day there.

There is a golf pro aboard and though not official NCL excursions, he organised my husband to play with another POA golfer in Maui at Wailea. Cory McKim. Email him at cory @ hawaiigolfcruises.com ( I have put spaces in). Wailea is very scenic.

He has golf excursions at other ports also. Car hire or Uber may be cheaper but no guarantee you will be playing with someone else.

Another time we hired a car and my husband played Kapalua Plantation on Maui. Do it on your first day in Maui so no rush getting back to ship as play can be slow. Expensive course but it is the PGA tournament of champions course, so special to play.

Hawaii tee times has good descriptions and prices of courses. Sometimes the course will match their prices for direct bookings. Courses in Hawaii are great but expensive!
