Highlights: A gorgeous golf course running along oceanfront and into beautiful natural terrain and forests. The scenery is epic, and the ocean is prominent. This course has hosted more championship play then any other course on Maui.

The grand scenic beauty of Kapalua is unique for west side as it sits upon a good slope allowing for wide and open ocean views. This course comes with a great history of hosting 20 different major golf tournaments, more then any other in the "outer islands" of Hawaii.
Local's Tip:
This course can get very wind affected in the afternoon, so morning play is recommended.
