Its playability, thanks to an older, wiser Golden Bear, is perhaps the signature feature of this seaside layout. But with 300,000 cubic yards of topsoil from nearby Parker Ranch smeared over the lava flows to create 125 acres of irrigated turfgrass, landing areas are especially generous. Like most memorable courses, Hualalai builds to a climax as the round progresses. The 15th and 16th are both strong par fours that bring players to the brink of the sea, while the 164-yard 17th is the kind of hole that may prompt Hawaiians to trade in their grass skirts and surfboards for golf clubs. Hualalai is restricted to guests of the Four Seasons Resort and community residents.
