The Hawaiian Islands offer some of the most spectacular golf in the world. Of our Top 15, three are located on the Big Island, while Maui, Oahu and Kauai boast four each\u2014so you can\u2019t miss regardless of where you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designs by many of the towering figures in course architecture can be found in Hawaii, including Robert Trent Jones, Sr<\/span><\/a>. (Mauna Kea and Ka\u2019anapali),  Robert Trent Jones, Jr<\/span><\/a>. (Wailea, Poipu Bay, Princeville Makai, Ka\u2019anapali and Kiahuna), Rees Jones<\/span><\/a> (Mauna Kea), and Jack Nicklaus<\/span><\/a> (Manele and Hualalai).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The great courses at Kapalua on Maui were most recently updated by the renowned team of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw<\/span><\/a>, and if you are looking for a terrific Pete Dye<\/span><\/a> design, be sure to include Royal Hawaiian on Oahu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GolfDay<\/span><\/a> rating is based on a variety of criteria, including the stature of the architect(s) who did the original design(s), updates that have been done on the course(s), USGA<\/span><\/a> Course and Slope Ratings, current local and national rankings by Golf Digest and Golfweek, the quality and diversity of practice facilities, general course conditioning and current reviews. The resort rating also includes a factor for the variety of courses located at the property as well as the quality of accommodations and level of service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hawaii may be a bit of a hike, and can also put a dent in your wallet\u2014but it has to be at the top of your bucket list. Until you decide to make the plunge, the golf experience of a lifetime will always be calling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
