Mauna Kea Golf Course (18 Holes)
Designed by Robert
Trent Jones, Sr., Mauna Kea Golf Course remains the standard by
which all other island courses are judged. This legendary
masterpiece offers golfers the perfect challenge to match their
level of play.
Covering 230 acres
of beautiful landscape, the 18-hole, 72-par 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.
