This resort has two outstanding eighteen hole championship courses. The North Courses rolling terrain and groves of Kiawe trees come into play. Four finishing holes on the North Course are scenic and well designed. Hole #17 is the North's signature hole, par 3, measuring 140 yards, requires a tee shot from an elevated tee to a green that is framed by a natural lava amphitheatre. One should try to avoid the large lava rock and the sand trap on your way to the green. The South Course highlights are two holes that play beside the ocean. Hole #15, a par 3, requires a tee shot over the ocean to the green and is one of the most photographed holes in the world. Hole #7, another par 3, borders the ocean and during the winter months golfers can enjoy watching humpback whales migrating offshore. The fairways are composed of Bermuda grass and the rough is rather thick. Most of the fairways are lined by the natural rough along with pahoehoe and a'a lava rock. Lava rock must definitely be avoided as if you are lucky enough to have your ball bounce back to the fairway your ball will never be the same again. Most of the greens are flat and you can roll your ball to the flag. The speed of the greens is sometimes hard to determine and there are many subtle breaks. The PGA Senior Skins Tournament is held here each January on the South Course. Golf Digest rated this as the 11th Best in State course for 1995.
