Designed by Robin Nelson, this affordable course opened in 1997 to rave reviews. It is generally well-maintained, features water on eight holes and has four tee boxes. The parkland course plays 6,954 yards from the tips and wind can be a factor.

A well-kept muni with some ocean views, the Wailua Municipal Golf Course is a traditional parkland layout, though it does have some tight fairways on inland holes. The front nine was originally built in the 1930s and the second nine was added in 1961. The course plays 6,991 yards from the tips and has three sets of tees. The course has hosted multiple USGA Amateur Public Links Championships and was selected by Travel + Leisure Golf Magazine's "100 Best Courses for $100 or Less" in 2002. The course offers a non resident play card that is good for five discounted rounds.
