Description

When designers Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay attended the Hawaii Prince Golf Club's opening in 1992, Seay said, 'This course will get better with every year that passes.' Seay's words have proven to be right on target. Carved out of coral rock, the Hawaii Prince's fairways have established their own distinctive definitions with the maturation of the surrounding landscape.

With 10 ponds, water comes into play on more than half of this Oahu golf course's 27 holes. Like the other Ewa Plain tracks, wind is the major factor, making it not uncommon for three-club winds to be in play. Each of the three nines, A, B, and C, offers birdie opportunities on all downwind par-5s. The signature hole is the par-4 at A7 that features water all along the right side with a prevailing left-to-right crosswind.

Two water shots await on the B course's signature ninth hole: left off the tee box and right on the approach. Of the three nines, golfers might be wise to include the C course, where two holes stand out: the par-4 No. 2, where the green is open and nicely framed by a ring of trees to its rear, and the tantalizing 3-par at C7, which is heavily bunkered to grab any mis-hits. Holding the green in the wind is at a premium on this short beauty.
