Driving Directions

Resort, 18 holes, $175.00 - $175.00

An outstanding target-style course, this Jack Nicklaus design ranked 33rd on the 2007 GOLF Magazine list of the Top 100 Course You Can Play. Uniquely designed on acres of natural lava outcroppings among Kiawe and wild Llima trees. Many of the holes are constructed on the side of a hill above the ocean, and every hole offers a fantastic view of the ocean.

From all but the forward tees, virtually every tee shot requires you to cross a mini-canyon to get to the fairway. The fairways are open and the greens are small and fast. The signature hole is No. 12, a beautiful 202-yard par-3, which requires players tee off from a cliff over the ocean to a green located on another cliff. The 17th hole demands a 215-yard carry over the ocean from the back tee.

The course has several blind tee and approach shots with fairway bunkers scattered throughout many landing areas. The 458-yard, par-4 16th hole has a bunker in the middle of the fairway. Players must go either left of right and and strategically attack this beast.
