Scenery
From panoramic ocean views, lava fields, waterfalls and an endless array of lush flora and fauna, there is no denying that the scenery on Hawaii’s golf courses is nothing short of breathtaking. In addition to the amazing views provided by mother-nature herself, you’ll also bear witness to a host of wildlife not found on other courses in the country. It’s not uncommon to see wild goats, albatross, pheasants, peacocks, deer, and if you’re ocean side during whale season, you’re likely to catch a glimpse of these majestic creatures as well.
Signature Courses

Food
Since there’s nothing quite like a cold drink and a decent meal after 18 holes, you’ll appreciate that Hawaii’s golf courses give as much attention to the restaurant menus as they do to the course design.
