Waimea Country Club
The course was built on pasturelands, surrounded by cattle ranches
and is wide open, yet there are many Ironwood trees that can affect
your golf shots. As you play, you will enjoy observing the wild turkeys,
pheasant and ducks. This is not your typical Hawaiian resort golf
course.

Mauna
Kea Golf Course
The legendary Mauna Kea Golf Course
offers golfers the perfect challenge to match their level of play.
Created by Robert Trent Jones, Sr., the 18-hole championship course
presents dramatic changes in elevation, large undulating greens,
and 120 well-placed bunkers. There are incredible panoramic sweeps
of sea and land, featuring snow-capped Mauna Kea, rugged lava beds,
and the sparkling blue Pacific. One of the most spectacular features
is the famous Third Hole -- where surging inlet water races to
meet the rocky shoreline, affording one of the most breathtaking
views in golf today.

Mauna Lani Resort Golf Course
The South Course,
renowned as the former home to the annual Senior Skins Game from
1990 - 2000, snakes through the stark, rugged a'a lava of the prehistoric
Kaniku lava flow. A playful fictitious Menehune by the name of
Moke has been known to frequent the lava areas surrounding this course.
The
North Course, although a resort course, is fast becoming known
as the Mauna Lani Resorts tournament course. A bit more difficult
than the South Course, this course displays a much different face
of Hawaii Golf. Built on a lava bed much older than the Kaniku flow
(on which the South Course lies), it is characterized by rolling
terrain punctuated by Kiawe (mesquite) forests.
Par: 72/36 holes (both courses),

Waikoloa
Kings‘ Golf Course
For a rigorous test of golf
skills, no facility on the Kohala Coast compares with Waikoloa’s unique Kings’ Course. Designed
by former British Open champion Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish, the
Kings’ Course offers golfers the best of two worlds; golf in
an island paradise, and on a course that more closely resembles a
layout along the coast of Scotland. But with stunning views of the
towering volcanoes of the Big Island framed by palm trees and vibrant
flowers, you’ll have no trouble remembering that you’re
golfing in paradise.
