The Hawaii Kai golf courses are set along the base of the Makapuu mountains and the sand dunes that stretch behind the Ka'iwi Scenic Shoreline and provide a great roadtrip to reach your scenic golf destination. This is not resort golf, it is local Hawaii style so maybe a bit rough here or there depending on rainfall and irrigation rotation. The friendly clubhouse will get you teamed up for tee off, and set you up with a sweet round of coastal golf with out the resort attitude.
Local's Tip:
Close to Sandy's Beach Park for golf and beach hopping combination.
Beach in the morning followed by twilight golf?
