About the Course
Hosting the LPGA Tour's LOTTE Championship annually since 2012, Ko Olina Golf Club holds a distinctive position on Hawaii's golf map. Named 'Hawaii's Best Golf Course' multiple times and featured in Golf Digest's 'Top 75 Resort Courses in U.S.,' this venue seamlessly blends tropical ambiance with competitive challenge, serving as the annual stage for women's professional golf's premier event. The course's defining characteristic is its 16 water features spread across 8 holes. The par-3 12th stands out—players pass beneath a waterfall to reach the tee box, where the 183-yard shot becomes unpredictable in ocean breezes, with a multi-tiered green surrounded by bunkers. The finishing par-4 18th proves equally demanding, requiring water carries on both tee shot and approach, culminating at a severely sloped two-tier green where precision is paramount. Generous landing areas keep the moderate length playable yet challenging, while tropical vegetation and refined water elements deliver an authentic Hawaiian golf experience.
