About the Course
Ranked 8th among Hawaii's public courses, Kapolei Golf Club has hosted the LPGA Tour's Lotte Championship, where world-class players like Lydia Ko and Nelly Korda have competed. Built on a former sugar cane plantation, this championship course has consistently earned recognition in Golfweek's 'Top 15 Best Courses You Can Play in Hawaii' for its tactical layout and immaculate conditions. Across 190 rolling acres, five lakes challenge golfers on 12 holes, while over 80 bunkers and elevated greens create layers of strategic complexity. The par-4 10th features an elevated green with a waterfall guarding the left side, demanding a precise approach over water. The finishing 18th, with its deceptive false fronts, has seen countless balls roll off the green's edge. The greens run at tour-level speeds of 10-11, matching LPGA standards—making Kapolei both a professional tournament venue and an opportunity for everyday golfers to test their skills against championship-caliber conditions.
