| Oahu
is an ideal setting for golf. Whether it’s the quiet country
setting of the North shore, or the rainforests of the Windward
side, the land is perfect for golfing. Imagine this with the
picturesque views of the spectacular ocean and the stunning
mountains. It’s just beautiful. Oahu is rightly called
the ‘golfer’s paradise’.
Oahu
offers several challenging and beautiful golf courses. Most
of them - Coral Creek, Hawaii Prince,
Kapolei Golf Course, Ko
Olina Golf Club, Makaha Resort, New
Ewa Beach, and West Loch golf courses
- are located in West Oahu. Being less populated, and with more
open fields than the rest of Oahu, it is the ideal place for
golf. The past few years have seen steady planned development
of the area, which included golf courses as well.
Coral Creek is considered by many as the most
beautiful golf course in Oahu. Located in the southwestern plain
of Ewa, Coral Creek Golf Course is comparatively new, but is
already being heralded as one of the best and unique golf experiences.
This 18 hole golf course provides a challenging test to golfers
of all skill levels. Also in Ewa, but in the Kiawe forest, is
the New Ewa Beach golf course. This strikingly
beautiful semi-private golf course can easily be enjoyed by
an average golfer. The signature hole on this course is #13,
a 187-yard, par 3, requiring a tee shot into the wind and over
water. West Loch is located on Ewa Beach. This
18 hole 72 par public course features water hazards coming into
play at 9 holes, along with numerous sand bunkers. Hawaii
Prince Golf Club occupies 270 acres of sheer beauty.
With ten scenic lakes and the stunning Waianae Mountains as
the backdrop, the Hawaii Prince has three nine-hole courses
any two of which can be combined to play 18. The Kapolei
Golf Course was rated as one of the best courses on
Oahu by both Golf Digest Magazine & the Zagat Survey. This
beautifully landscaped par-72 championship layout provides a
challenging and enjoyable round for both men and women of varying
skills. Also in Kapolei, located in the resort area of Ko Olina,
is the Ko Olina Golf Club. Recognized by Golf
Digest as one of the "Top 75 Resort Courses in the U.S.",
this course includes 16 water features on 8 different holes,
multi-tiered greens, and well-manicured fairways. A combination
of picturesque tropical beauty and a brilliantly designed layout
make Makaha Resort Golf Club one of Oahu's
most alluring courses. Located in the picturesque Makaha Valley
on the western shore, and framed by the Waianae Mountain Range,
this 18 hole course is popular among those desiring tranquility
and seclusion.
Ko'olau
Golf Club, Olomana Golf Links, Luana Hills, Bay View and Pali
golf courses are located in East Oahu. Rated in Golf Magazine's
"Top 100 Courses to Play" and named the "#1 Golf
Course on Oahu" by Golf Digest, Ko’olau is considered
to be "The World's Most Challenging Golf Course".
Nestled below Oahu's historic and popular Pali Lookout, Ko’olau
offers breathtaking views of the majestic 2,000-foot-high cliffs
of the Ko'olau Mountain Range, cascading waterfalls and commanding
views of the Pacific Ocean and the beautiful windward side of
Oahu. Ko'olau can be a memorable golf experience for golfers
of all skill levels. Olomana Golf Links is ideally located in
the beautiful Windward community of Waimanalo, and offers two
distinctly different nines, each equally challenging. Each hole
features level fairways with a formidable water hazard. Located
in the back of the beautiful Maunawili Valley in the Ko'olau
Mountains, Luana Hills is perhaps the most beautiful Golf Course
in the Windward Side of Oahu. From front nine to back nine you
journey from wide open spaces on hillsides below the magic mountain
of Olomana, to dense tropical jungle that showcases Hawaiian
flora and birds. Bay View Golf Park in Kaneohe was built on
predominantly flat terrain, but there are some mounds that will
cause uneven lies. There are two ponds and a stream that come
into play on three holes in this 18 hole 59 par course. Pali
is a public golf course also in Kaneohe on the east coast. There
are very few sand bunkers on this course, but the terrain will
make for some difficult lies. Both the greens and fairways are
undulating.
Hawaii
Kai Championship Golf Course is located in South Oahu on the
southeastern part of the island. Located along one of the most
beautiful coastlines of Oahu, Pacific Ocean and Makapuu Cliffs
views are visible from each of the 18 holes. Golfers find the
tropical winds blowing from the ocean not only pleasant but
challenging, making the course enjoyable to play. Ala Wai Municipal
Golf Course near Ala Wai Canal in Honolulu has been called the
“busiest golf course in the world” by the Guinness
Book of World Records with over 500 plays a day. Sited on 150
acres of prime land, the terrain of the course is predominantly
flat, but there are some mounds around the greens and fairways.
One of the most challenging holes is the 18th, with its narrow
fairway bordering the Ala Wai Canal, a tight green, and a stream
trickling through its middle.
In
the south central part of Oahu are the Pearl Country Club, Royal
Kunia, and the Waikele Golf Courses. Pearl Country Club is located
on the gentle slopes of the Koolau Mountain Range and overlooks
Pearl Harbor, the Arizona Memorial, the USS Missouri, and the
Waianae Mountain Range to the west. This public golf course
has superior course conditions which are at par with any private
golf course. Its varied terrain with its many trees is a challenge
to all golfers. Just opened in April 2003, Royal Kunia is a
relatively new course which has been described as the best course
in Oahu. The course offers a great golfing experience for the
beginner to low handicapper. The par 5 ninth hole is the signature
hole of the course measuring 621 yards from the back tees. Overlooking
Pearl Harbor and the blue Pacific is the Waikele Golf Course.
This truly comprehensive golf course provides challenges and
enjoyment to players of all skill levels from beginner to pro
through the use of water features and special topography. Spectacular
views of Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor, and the Ko'olau and Waianae
mountains surround the course. Mililani Golf Club in Central
Oahu is nestled on a plateau with the Waianae Mountains and
the Ko'olau Mountains in the background. This 18 hole course
beautifully carves its way through Norfolk Pines, Eucalyptus
Trees, African Tulip trees, and lush tropical Hawaii foliage,
in bloom all year around. Water hazards come into play on ten
different holes, and sand bunkers come in to play throughout
the design. The greens are small, sloped and fast.
Turtle
Bay Fazio and Turtle Bay Palmer are located on the North Shore
facing Turtle Bay. The LPGA's Hawaiian Open and the first Senior
Skins Game were hosted by the resort style course of Turtle
Bay Fazio. The course features generous fairways, deep bunkers
and immaculately sculpted greens; and offers scenic views of
the beautiful Turtle Bay. The Turtle Bay Palmer is home of the
PGA Champion's Tour Turtle Bay Championship held every January
and the LPGA's SBS Open held every February. It is ranked as
one of the top courses in Hawaii by Golf Digest because of its
challenging layout and outstanding conditions. Kahuku Golf Course
in Kahuku on the eastern side of the North Shore is a 9 hole,
par 35 municipal course which can be a real challenge if the
wind blows. The course has no water hazards, but there are a
few sand bunkers. It is a good walking course, so seniors who
like to walk will enjoy playing here.
Almost
all hotels of Oahu have an activities desk that can arrange
golf outings for you, but if you would like to stay at a hotel
with its own golf course, then you can do that too. Some of
the hotels with golf courses are Hawaii
Prince Hotel, Waikiki; JW
Marriott Ihilani Resort and Spa at Ko Olina; and
Turtle
Bay Resort on the North Shore.

JW Marriott Ihilani Resort & Spa is located
in the Ko Olina resort community of Kapolei in West
Oahu. Overlooking one of the finest white sand beaches
in Hawaii and a saltwater lagoon, this exceptional
resort offers deluxe accommodations and superior
facilities including boutique shopping, full-service
spa, licensed children's activities program, state-of-the-art
meeting facilities, tennis, two swimming pools,
and eighteen holes of championship golf.
Opened
in 1990, the 18 hole, par 72 Ko Olina Golf Club
is considered one of Hawaii's top golf courses.
Located on Oahu’s sunny southwest tip, it
was designed by Ted Robinson, a designer best known
for his "waterscapes". He took former
sugar cane lands and moved more than a million cubic
yards of dirt, added mounds and contours, elevated
tees and greens, and planted more than a thousand
stately coconut palms and other trees to create
Ko Olina Golf Club. He created waterfalls which
feed into streams that widen into pools that finally
become lakes. The course measures 6,867 yards from
the back tees. The varying lengths from the tees
and large landing areas make Ko Olina a place for
players of all skills. Ko Olina has also been host
to the LPGA Tour (1990-1995) and the Senior PGA
Tour (1992).... more

The Turtle Bay Golf and Tennis Resort is a
heavenly 808 acre oasis on the North Shore
of Oahu. Set among swaying palm, quiet coves
and rolling surf, Turtle Bay Resort offers
a panoramic oceanfront view from each of its
485 magnificent rooms. The resort features
two lushly landscaped pools - one overlooking
the azure blue pacific, more than five white
sand coves, 10 tennis courts, outdoor Jacuzzis,
horseback riding, world-class dining and shopping,
and 2 championship golf courses - the Turtle
Bay Fazio, and the Turtle Bay Palmer.
The
18 hole Turtle Bay Fazio, designed by George
Fazio, is located on the northernmost tip
of Oahu. Featuring generous fairways, deep
bunkers and immaculately sculpted greens,
the George Fazio Course has hosted the LPGA
Tour's Hawaiian Open and was the site of the
first Senior Skins Game, which included Arnold
Palmer, Chi Chi Rodriquez, Gary Player and
Sam Sneed. Guests can also enjoy five-star
tennis courts, two swimming pools, volleyball,
and horseback riding. For less strenuous pleasures,
there are three different cocktail lounges
and three restaurants. The golf course also
has a driving range, a putting green, a fully
stocked pro shop, and a clubhouse with a snack
bar and shower.
Turtle
Bay Palmer is an 18-hole championship golf
course designed by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay.
This course can be enjoyed by a golfer of
any caliber. There are five sets of tees,
in some cases six, for the enjoyment of both
the average, and the best players of the world.
The front nine features sand, water, wind,
and rolling terrain with no trees or shrubs
at all. The back nine plays through a forest
of ironwood pines and offers a very different
feel, giving two distinctly different experiences.
The 17th hole of the course is undoubtedly
the signature hole with no less than nine
craggy bunkers surrounding the landing area
and extending all the way up to the green.
The 17th green sits on a plateau only 100
feet from the ocean.... more
