Ili'ili
The village of Ili’ili is located in the southwest of Tutuila Island, American Samoa, and here at Ili’ili Country Club you’ll find the country’s only golf course, routed in modest fashion across 120 tropical acres.
Ili'ili Golf Course started out as a 4-hole track in the early 1970s, becoming a 9-hole course shortly thereafter before it was finally expanded to an 18-hole layout in 1987.
Golf Professional Fuga Tolani Teleso was the primary visionary and driving force in designing the layout and physically shaping the landscape to set out the course.
Lli’ili now extends to 6,496 yards from the back tees, starting with a short par three. Notable holes include right doglegged par fives at the 5th and 14th and the short par four 18th.
Interestingly, out of bounds comes into play at no fewer than fifteen holes, with OOB markers lining both sides of the fairway at the 3rd, 8th, 14th and 16th holes.
