Kiele Course - Players will discover that the Kiele Course has
a sense of style uniquely its own. Fairways weave along imposing ocean
cliffs, over promontories high above the harbor, and among some 40acres
of fresh water lagoons that wind their way throughout the resort. Lush
groves of exotic foliage thrive amongst the holes. Golfers who strive
to emulate Nicklaus’ playing style will find that the Kiele suits
them to a tee. Built in the late 1980s, this championship layout rewards
players who can hit the ball high in order to carry the assorted drainage
creeks, ravines and lagoons that one encounters along the way, as well
reach the couple of island greens that finish this challenging course.

| Kauai Lagoons Golf Club Mokihana Course - The Kiele’s companion course is the gentler Lagoons Course, a resort layout crafted with Scottish stile rolling links. Designed for players of all skill levels, the Lagoons is marked by its open fairways and, compared with its more demanding sister course, by its relative lack of forced carries. The real challenges of the Lagoons are its undulating greens, which will challenge the best of putters. The Lagoons has been rated by Golf Magazine as one of the ten most playable in America, and proffers outstanding views of Mt. Waialeale, the extinct volcano that created the island of Kauai. It’s more hospitable nature is a perfect complement to the more challenging Kiele. | 127 | 73.1 | 6960 | Jack Nicklaus | $100 | Kauai

Makai Course - Golf
Digest lists the Princeville Makai Course in its Top 50 Resort
Courses, and has included it in "Americas 100 Greatest Golf
Course" for 16 consecutive years. The Makai is really three
courses in one: the Ocean Nine ventures closest to the Pacific, the
Lakes Nine winds its way around serene lakes, and the Woods nine is
a pleasant diversion through native woodlands. Architect Jones paid
fitting tribute to the Makai Course when he said, "In all the
world, I never expect to find a more spectacularly beautiful place
to build a golf course than Princeville, overlooking Hanalei
Bay."

Prince Course - Golf
Digest has named The Prince Course the number one
course in the State of Hawaii. It is also included in their
prestigious list of "America's 100 Greatest Golf Courses".
The Prince is one of Hawaii's most challenging golf course, with a
USGA course rating of 75.3 and a 145 slope. But fear not. Five
different tees on each hole allows you to set your own challenge.
Named after Prince Albert, the only son of King Kamehameha IV and
Queen Emma, The Prince is Robert Trent Jones, Jr's masterpiece.
Looking as if it has emerged full-blown from nature, it chugs
uphill, jumps ravines, and careens downhill like a roller coaster.
