Blessed with breathtaking scenery, unforgettable signature holes and championship calibre course design, it’s no wonder why Hawaii attracts so many golfers from around the world. Discover a variety of unique course layouts on Hawaii’s six geographically distinct islands - from greens lined with volcanic rough to stunning seaside water hazards. And with more than 70 amazing golf courses to choose from, it won’t be difficult to find the perfect course for you.
Oahu (aka Waikiki and surrounds) where 29 courses are easily accessible to visitors at 25 different venues ranging from the very first golf course built in the islands (in 1898) - the Moanalua Golf Club’s nine-hole hill-and-dale affair, which operates on a semi-private basis, to golf resorts that play host to the PGA. Oahu also presents a wonderful array of independently operated daily fee tracks that range from par-3 courses to two of the world’s most challenging layouts.
Maui is known for its beauty and so are its golf courses. Maui has two distinct areas where the bulk of the accommodation and golf resorts are situated. West Maui which features the bustling old whaling village of Lahaina, delivers 36 holes at both the Kaanapali Beach Resort and the Kapalua Resort and South Maui which lies in the wake of Haleakala, is home to two resorts, Wailea (54 holes) and Makena (36 holes). Four other Maui courses are located between in Wailuku and Pukalani.
