Golf in Hawaii: Mauna Lani’s Legendary Courses
On Hawaii’s Big Island, few experiences rival the thrill of golf at Mauna Lani. Nestled along the Kohala Coast, the courses combine dramatic scenery with unforgettable play, making them a destination cherished by golfers from around the world.
The South Course is Mauna Lani’s crown jewel. Ranked the number one golf course in the United States in 2022 by NBC GolfPass, it has also been celebrated by Golfweek, Travel + Leisure, Golf Digest, and other leading publications. Its most iconic moment comes at the par-3 fifteenth hole, one of the most photographed in the world. Here, the shot must carry the Pacific Ocean, with waves crashing against the black lava cliffs below. It is golf in Hawaii at its most dramatic, and one of those rare experiences every player remembers.
The North Course offers a different kind of beauty. Winding through kiawe forests and shaped by ancient lava formations, it feels quiet and contemplative. Many who play here describe it as Hawaii golf at its most serene, where the rhythm of the land sets the pace of the game.
For guests of Abita Luxury Rentals, Mauna Lani is more than a place to play. A day might begin with an early tee time, continue with a swim in your private pool, and end with dinner overlooking a Hawaiian sunset. At Mauna Lani, golf is not only about scorecards and swings it is about connection to the island and the creation of lasting memories.
