Don’t get me wrong, the golf on
the Kohala Coast is quite good. At
the celebrated Jack Nicklaus course

which features a Cypress Point-like
par 3 early in the round and plenty
of scenic, yet tough, holes after that.
Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay built the
rugged Hapuna course in the scruffy
hills above that layout, and it puts a
premium on solid shot-making.
