Hawaii has more tournaments than any other state, even Florida, because the conditions are good year-round.
Courses come in all sizes and flavors.
It's possible to arrive at the 18th hole with balls in hand. It's rumored one rather well-known pro took a 14 here. There are lava-fringed courses, courses where you hit over the ocean, and courses where the fairways are dished. There's a course where you pay a contribution, and many courses where locals pay less than tourists. There are hotel courses where guests have priority, and golf cruises that let you play different courses on different islands.
