Golfers may choose to play any of the courses listed below as part of the packages listed
.
.
 Princeville Prince Course
18 Holes, Par 72, 7,309 Yards, Rated 75.6, Slope Rated 144
The Prince Course, the number one rated golf course in Hawaii by Golf
Digest, Is golf as it was meant to be played. The Prince course is Robert Trent Jones,
Jr.'s masterpiece. Looking as if it has emerged full-blown from nature, it chugs uphill,
jumps ravines, and careens downhill. Not surprisingly, it has recently been called
"the Pine Valley of the Pacific."
 Poipu Bay Resort Course
Par 72, 6,959 Yards, Rated 73.4, Slope Rated 132
Ranked number six in Golf Digest's top ten courses in Hawaii,
Robert Trent Jones, Jr. designed the Poipu Bay Resort Course. This 210-acre course built
on ancient archeological sites combines lush green fairways, 86 bunkers, and eleven water
holes to create both a challenge and a breathtaking beauty.
Poipu Bay features a spectacular 18-hole championship course on
210 oceanfront acres on Kauai's southern coast. Since 1994, the Poipu Bay Resort
Golf Course has been the home of the PGA Grand Slam of Golf; an event claimed to
be the world's most exclusive golf tournament.
 Kauai Lagoons' Kiele Course
Par 72, 7,070 Yards, Rated 73.7, Slope Rated 137
Designed by Jack Nicklaus, Golf Digest named Kauai Lagoons' Kiele course
one of the top 100 courses worldwide. Wide ravines, spectacular ocean holes with menacing
cliffs, and 40 acres of tropical lagoons do their best to distract even the most
disciplined of players.
It is said that when legendary golfer and architect Jack Nicklaus created the
Kiele Course at Kauai Lagoons, the terrain lent itself so well to his vision
that he made but a single change to his original design. Little wonder that this
incredible par 72 resort course — one of two award-winning Nicklaus layouts at
Kauai Lagoons — continues to receive accolade after accolade for being one of
the finest golf gems in the Pacific.
Overlooking the gateway to the island of Kauai in Hawaii, Kauai Lagoons is a
lush, 750-acre resort carefully secluded in the southwest corner of the island.
The resort exudes a romantic tropical ambiance with hints of European grandeur –
a combination so alluring that in 1998, it was named by Golf Magazine to its
elite list of Gold Medal golf resorts.
 Kauai
Lagoon's Mokihana Course
Par 72, 6942 Yards, Rated 72.8, Slope Rated 135
The Mokihana Course is the second Jack Nicklaus course at Kauai
Lagoons. The courses is a 6,900 yard par 72 resort layout crafted with Scottish
style rolling links. Previously the Lagoons Course, the layout underwent a soft
renovation in its landscaping and was renamed in 1999 to pay tribute to its
Hawaiian heritage. Designed for players of all skill levels, the course is
marked by its open fairways and, compared with its more demanding sister course,
by its relative lack of forced carries. The real challenge of the Mokihana are
its undulating greens, which will challenge the best of putters. The Mokihana
has been rated by Golf Magazine as one of the ten most playable in America, and
proffers outstanding views of Mt. Waialeale, the extinct volcano that created
the island of Kauai. Its more hospitable nature is a perfect complement to the
more challenging Kiele.
Designed by Jack Nicklaus, Golf Digest named Kauai Lagoons' Kiele course
one of the top 100 courses worldwide. Wide ravines, spectacular ocean holes with menacing
cliffs, and 40 acres of tropical lagoons do their best to distract even the most
disciplined of players.
 Princeville Resort Makai Course
27 Holes, Par 72, 6,886 Yards, Rated 72.7, Slope Rated 133
Listed in the top 50 resort courses and the top 100 courses in America,
this course is a special treat for golfers. The course is made up of three unique nine
holes of golf. The Ocean Nine runs right along the ocean, while the Lakes Nine meanders
around a beautiful lake, and the Woods Nine finds its way through the resort's native
woodlands.
Golf Digest lists the Princeville Makai Course in its Top 50 Resort Courses,
and has included it in "America's 100 Greatest Golf Courses" for 16 consecutive
years. The Makai is really three courses in one: the Ocean Nine - venturing
closest to the Pacific, the Lakes Nine - winding its way around serene lakes and
the Woods Nine - diverting its way through native woodlands.
