Ko Olina Course
Kapolei, HI, USA


Ko Olina Golf Club is a sun-drenched Hawaiian escape where championship golf meets the gentle caress of Pacific breezes. The resort course, carved into the leeward coast of O’ahu near Kapolei, prioritizes enjoyment while subtly testing a player’s mettle, making it a beloved vacationer’s paradise. Designed by Ted Robinson, the course reflects a modern resort style, characterized by generous fairways and multi-tiered greens. However, the real challenges lie in navigating the strategic bunkering and the ever-present trade winds. While forgiving off the tee, precision into the greens is paramount to scoring well, particularly on approach shots that must contend with the coastal gusts. Water comes into play on several holes, adding to the visual appeal and strategic considerations, but the course is generally considered player-friendly. Ko Olina has played host to the LPGA Lotte Championship on numerous occasions. The competition brought a different level of pressure to a course typically enjoyed at a more leisurely pace. The Club is especially popular among those from Japan and other parts of Asia who are looking for an immaculate course and tropical luxury.

Most visitors to Ko Olina Golf Club arrive through Honolulu's Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL), the gateway to Oahu's western shore and just twenty miles from the resort. The drive west along H-1 traces the island's southern coastline before turning inland through former sugarcane country, the urban sprawl of Honolulu gradually giving way to open sky and the first glimpses of the Waianae Range. Within thirty minutes, the highway delivers you to the manicured entry of Ko Olina Resort, where the golf club unfolds along a dramatic stretch of lava rock coastline - a serene counterpoint to the energy of Waikiki left behind.
