Golfer’s Dream Guide to Golfing Hawaii

Golfing in Hawaii is different. Surrounded by majestic, rainforest-covered mountains and panoramic ocean views, you tee off on courses lined with guava, mango, and bougainvillea. Native birds dot the fairway as the sun glints off the waves of the Pacific. For golfers, heaven must look a lot like a Hawaiian fairway.

The four main islands — Oahu, Maui, the Big Island, and Kauai — all have world-class golf courses, so you should have no trouble finding somewhere to tee off. The biggest challenge is choosing which course to play!
