Oahu golf courses use the natural beauty of the island's surroundings to create a golfing experience that is different than any other in the world. The designers and owners of these golf courses want the players to enjoy their game while knowing they have never left this lush, tropical location. The sights, sounds and smells you encounter is a complete experience.

Coral Creek Golf Course

This course is full of spring fed lakes and rolling fairways, drenched by the warm Hawaiian sun and constant cool trade winds. You will encounter water at 13 of the holes. The design of the golf course has used natures rock formations as a visible coral delight for its players. Every hole calls for different skills and strategies, making this course challenging and very interesting to play. Coral Creek is an 18-hole public course of 6,870 yards. There are 25 matted stations at the full-length driving range, practice greens for putting and chipping locations. If you need some pointers, make an appointment for a golf lesson. For a bite to eat and a cold beer, stop by the full service bar and restaurant.

Hawaii Kai Golf Course

Just try to keep your mind on golf with the mountain and ocean views at the Hawaii Kai Championship Golf Course. If the day is clear you can spy the island of Maui. When you visit this course in the winter, you can see whales spouting water in the Pacific, as they head towards Maui, where they give birth. You are offered a choice between the Championship course and the Executive course, both are public. Beginners, as well as experienced golfers, enjoy both golf courses. Choose to start your game on the Championship course at the regular tees or the championship tees. This 18-hole course is 6,500 yards. It's been designed for the golfer to get a view of the Pacific Ocean, the Makapuu Cliffs and the eastern coastline at every hole. The 18-hole Executive course, designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr., at 2,223 yards, is a more challenging course, requiring chipping and putting skills. Every hole of this course gives the player views of the Koko Head Volcano, now extinct. Stop by the Queen's Beach Restaurant for refreshments after a great game of golf.
