The front nine holes are fairly flat and wide open, while the back nine holes feature several elevation changes. Many coconut and pine trees, as well as numerous sand bunkers, are found throughout the course. The greens are undulating and well-protected, making them very challenging. The club hosted the USGA National Public Links Tournament in 1985. Locals consider it one of the best municipal courses in the state. “Golf Digest” ranked it 25th among the “Top 75 Public Courses” in 1990, and 2nd best under the category of “America’s Top 75 Affordable Courses” in their list of “America’s Best Golf Courses Everyone Can Play” for 1996.

Five different tees at each hole allow you to customize the game to meet your own skill level. Make it your goal to track your progress by choosing a more difficult tee when you return to the Prince Golf Course! Named for Prince Albert, son of Hawaii’s King Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma, Golf at the Prince Golf Course is truly a royal experience.

This resort, which was named to “GOLF Magazine’s” 1998 list of “Gold Medal Resorts,” features two regulation eighteen hole courses. The Kiele Course is very demanding and requires several shots over ravines. “Golf Digest” rated it the 6th “Best in State” course in 1995-96, and 7th in 1997-98. In addition, “GOLF Magazine” nominated it 64th among the “Top 100 Course You Can Play In The U.S.” in 1998. The Lagoons Course is a bit easier and much more forgiving off the tee. Carts are mandatory on the Kiele Course, while golfers may walk the Lagoon Course at designated times.
