    $350 with no food on property and a limited driving range. Had maintenance guys in every fairway bunker of the first 5 holes we played and teed off at 9:20. Besides the chaos and heavy price tag, it was a fun course.

    Playing Nanea Golf Club was an incredible experience and one of the most unique rounds I’ve ever had.

    I’ll admit, I can’t always distinguish the North and South as much as I’d like - I played them a few years back - but what I do remember from the South are some truly special views. It’s a resort-style course, so it doesn’t beat you up.

How we rank

This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by total yardage, then slope rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Kohala Coast, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
