Golf

The Big Island is called “Hawaii’s Golf Capital,” because of the quality and interesting variety of courses found here. These include world-class ocean-front resort courses, uplands and highlands courses and casual municipal and neighborhood courses – all offering a golf experience for every player and every budget. Courses range from simple layouts to beautiful, challenging championship links created and built by renowned course designers: Nicklaus, Palmer, Weiskopf, Morrish, Seay and Robert Trent Jones, Sr. and Jr.

They have crafted the courses from the Big Island’s varied terrain, with emerald green fairways contrasting with jet black lava and the turquoise blue Pacific Ocean, and spectacular ocean and mountain vistas. A golf tour on the Big Island can take you from the sunny coastal shores of the Island’s west side, to the cool uplands of Waimea to the edge of the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. With 17 courses and more on the way, the Big Island has all the ingredients for a first-class golfing vacation beginner or the seasoned player looking for a new challenge.
