The Hawaii Kai Golf Course is located on the eastern side of Oahu and just 15 miles from Waikiki. The par-72 championship course was designed by golf course architect William Bell and opened in 1973. The trademarks of William Bell's courses are well-trapped greens and several lakes, both evident in this design. The Championship Course measures 6,686 yards from the back tees and features wide fairways, large greens with well-placed bunkers, and beautiful scenery. Every tee offers views of the Makapuu Cliffs, Pacific Ocean and the rugged eastern Oahu coastline.
Wind is a significant factor on the golf course.
Also, there is very little rough to contend with and grain is not a big factor with the Tifton Dwarf grass. For the golfer who takes into account both the wind and break conditions, the Hawaii Kai Championship Course is a challenge and a pleasure to play. The Hawaii Kai Clubhouse features a well-stocked pro shop. The 2nd Floor Restaurant and cocktail lounge offers beautiful views of the Pacific and the Makapuu Cliffs. Collared shirts and shoes are required on the course.
