Welcome

The Hualalai resort is
situated in the Kona district of Hawaii, close to the international airport in
the northwest corner of the Big Island, and it boasts two 18-hole layouts. The
first to appear was the Jack Nicklaus Signature course in 1996, followed six
years later by the Tom Weiskopf-designed private Ke'olu course. The Mitsubishi Electric
Championship at Hualalai is held on the Hualalai course every year and the
field comprises senior major champions from the previous five years plus other
tournament winners of the last two years and other sponsor-invited players. The
tournament is played over 54-holes with a prize purse of almost $2 million. Fairways on the front nine
of the Hualalai course play through a variety of lava rock features and over a
pond at the par three 5th but the bunker in the middle of the green on the par
three 12th is probably the biggest talking point before the final trio of holes
bring the round to a dramatic conclusion next to the ocean. |
Reviews for Hualalai (Hualâlai)
Great course well maintained, putting against the grain is a skill that need to be learned quickly here, and on the Island in general. Nice layout with scenic views. Overall a 1/2 lower then its sibling on the property but not a bad place to spend a round whatsoever. Would I play here again? Hell yes, I love this place.
