Golf Course
Kauai Lagoons Golf Club Kiele Course - Players will discover that the
Kiele Course has a sense of style uniquely its own. Fairways weave along
imposing ocean cliffs, over promontories high above the harbor, and among some
40acres of fresh water lagoons that wind their way throughout the resort. Lush
groves of exotic foliage thrive amongst the holes. Golfers who strive to emulate
Nicklaus’ playing style will find that the Kiele suits them to a tee. Built in
the late 1980s, this championship layout rewards players who can hit the ball
high in order to carry the assorted drainage creeks, ravines and lagoons that
one encounters along the way, as well reach the couple of island greens that
finish this challenging course.
Kauai Lagoons Golf Club Mokihana Course - The Kiele’s companion
course is the gentler Lagoons Course, a resort layout crafted with Scottish
stile rolling links. Designed for players of all skill levels, the Lagoons
is marked by its open fairways and, compared with its more demanding sister
course, by its relative lack of forced carries. The real challenges of the
Lagoons are its undulating greens, which will challenge the best of putters.
The Lagoons has been rated by Golf Magazine as one of the ten most playable
in America, and proffers outstanding views of Mt. Waialeale, the extinct
volcano that created the island of Kauai. It’s more hospitable nature is a
perfect complement to the more challenging Kiele.
Kiahuna Golf Club - Kiahuna Golf Club offers challenging resort golf
within a fascinating area of ancient Polynesian archeology. Enjoy your game
surrounded by the natural beauty of Kauai and its historical Hawaiian
culture. World famous golf architect Robert Trent Jones, Jr., skillfully
included many ancient remains of an authentic Hawaiian village into the
design of Kiahuna Golf Course. Your experience will be the beauty of the
course as well as a sense of the enduring history of the region. Abundant
water hazards and challenging prevailing trade winds characterize Kiahuna as
"the longest short golf course you’ll ever play".
Poipu Bay Golf Course - For the occasional weekend golfer and the
touring professional, the Robert Trent Jones Jr. Links-style layout offers a
unique golfing experience. Multiple tee grounds, depending on wind
conditions, allow the course to play from 5,241 to nearly 7,000 yards.
Weaving through gentle contours featuring the remains of Hawaiian heiau
(places of worship) and ancient stone walls, this one-of-a-kind Hawaii
course overlooks the expansive blue waters of the Pacific Ocean from atop 80
foot cliffs. Even if not watching for native nene geese, rare Hawaiian monk
seals, green sea turtles or humpback whales, both your ability to
concentrate on golf and your shot making will be pleasingly tested. Since
1994, the Poipu Bay Resort has been the home of the world’s most exclusive
golf tournament, the PGA of America’s Grand Slam of Golf. After all, to get
invited you must win the Masters, the U.S. Open, the British Open or the PGA
Championship.
Princeville Golf Club - Makai Course - Golf Digest lists the
Princeville Makai Course in its Top 50 Resort Courses, and has included it
in "Americas 100 Greatest Golf Course" for 16 consecutive years. The Makai
is really three courses in one: the Ocean Nine ventures closest to the 
Pacific, the Lakes Nine winds its way around serene lakes, and the Woods
nine is a pleasant diversion through native woodlands. Architect Jones paid
fitting tribute to the Makai Course when he said, "In all the world, I never
expect to find a more spectacularly beautiful place to build a golf course
than Princeville, overlooking Hanalei Bay."
Princeville Golf Club - Prince Course - Golf Digest has named The
Prince Course the number one course in the State of Hawaii. It is also
included in their prestigious list of "America's 100 Greatest Golf Courses".
The Prince is one of Hawaii's most challenging golf course, with a USGA 
course rating of 75.3 and a 145 slope. But fear not. Five different tees on
each hole allows you to set your own challenge. Named after Prince Albert,
the only son of King Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma, The Prince is Robert
Trent Jones, Jr's masterpiece. Looking as if it has emerged full-blown from
nature, it chugs uphill, jumps ravines, and careens downhill like a roller
coaster.
