Bob was ecstatic that he got a chance to play on this beautiful golf course. The price, while reasonable for Hawaii standards, was a little steeper than he usually pays ($145 –160 a round whether you play weekends or weekdays) but he was able to get a discount! So he can brag that he played on one of the top golf courses!
The views are spectacular on this course (there actually are two separate courses to choose from) and not only do we have several pictures, there are a wealth of pictures on the web (which is nice to view to reminisce). While playing on the course, you have lots of beautiful ocean views including one par 3 right over the water. There is also lava all around the fairways. The interesting thing about the lava is if your ball lands on lava, you have two options. You retrieve the ball and most likely will get totally cut up as you walk on the sharp terrain or you leave the ball and use a new one as you take your penalty stroke. Most sane people take the later option! Of course there is always the possibility that your ball will bounce in after landing on the lava. In that case, your ball is ruined from all of the cuts!
In the past, the seniors’ skins championship was played on this course.
I found four web sites that you may want to visit to see pictures and more information about the course (and the Mauni Lani resort which is also spectacular)
