The Golf Capital of Hawaii
Posted on Mar 17, 2010 under Kohala Coast Resorts |Golf lovers understand the privilege of playing the Kohala Coast’s abundance of fine courses. High on the list of favorites are Waikoloa Beach Resort’s 6,566-yard, par 70 Beach Course and 7,064-yard, par 72 Kings’ Course. Both are positioned in a uniquely Hawaiian setting surrounded by crisp ocean views and blue skies, with the South Kohala trade winds enhancing the challenge.
Carved into a rugged lava field alongside Anaehoomalu Bay, the Beach Course meanders down to the edge of the sea in a series of complex navigations surrounded by palm trees and stiff lava rock barriers. The Scottish links-designed Kings’ Course presents expansive views of Mauna Kea and the ocean. Its wide, rolling fairways framed by palm trees contain double greens and other challenging features. The Kings’ Grille restaurant sits above the course’s 18th hole in a quaint Scottish-style setting and offers exceptional breakfasts, lunches, appetizers (pupus) and banquets. Check out the resort’s new online Golf Magazine for some gorgeous photos and informative articles about the Waikoloa courses.
