Hawaii’s “Gathering Place” is home to over 40 golf courses—including five private clubs and nine military courses. In fact, there are 29 courses easily accessible to visitors at 25 different venues. These range from the very first golf course built in the islands (in 1898)—the Moanalua Golf Club’s nine-hole hill-and-dale affair which operates on a semi-private basis—to three golf resorts that host LPGA and Champions Tour events.
Yet, it may well be that the heavenly part of playing golf on Oahu is that the island presents a wonderful array of independently operated daily fee tracks that range from par-3 courses to two of the world’s most challenging layouts.
