About this course

Hawaii Prince Golf Club sits on the Ewa Plain in Ewa Beach, roughly twenty miles west of Waikiki on Oahu's leeward coast. Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay designed the facility in the early 1990s as a 27-hole complex serving the Hawaii Prince Hotel. The three nine-hole loops—designated A, B, and C—allow for varied 18-hole combinations, with the C and A nines forming one of the primary rotations. The Palmer-Seay routing unfolds across relatively flat former sugarcane land, with the design relying on strategic bunkering, water hazards, and prevailing trade winds to create challenge rather than dramatic elevation change. Several holes incorporate lakes and marshland areas that come into play on approach shots and around greens. The layout is characterized by wide fairways that narrow at landing zones and greens protected by deep bunkers in the Palmer style of the era. Mature stands of palms and tropical vegetation frame many holes, while views extend toward the Waianae Range to the west. The course has served as a venue for professional golf, hosting LPGA Tour events in the 1990s and early 2000s. The club operates as a semi-private facility associated with the Prince Resorts Hawaii group. Conditioning typically reflects the resort standard, with Bermuda grass surfaces suited to the warm, dry conditions of Oahu's leeward side. The three-loop format offers flexibility for members and resort guests, with each nine presenting a distinct character within the overall Palmer design framework.

Getting there

The journey to Hawaii Prince Golf Club begins at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) in Honolulu, the primary gateway to Oahu and a hub well-served by both commercial carriers and private aviation. From there, a straightforward twenty-five-minute drive west along H-1 traces the island's southern coastline, passing through urban Honolulu before the landscape opens toward the drier leeward plains of Ewa Beach. The final miles reveal a striking transition - volcanic ridges rising to the north, the Pacific gleaming to the south - before arrival at the club's serene, resort-style grounds, a world apart from the bustle of Waikiki yet remarkably close to the capital's conveniences.
