Each and every hole along your path will be challenging. Below is an assembly of the many courses available to our guests and friends. Enjoy!

Poipu Bay Golf Course
Adjacent to the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa on the sunny south shore of Kauai, this outstanding course is backed by lush emerald mountains and sculpted from a rolling plateau eight stories above the Pacific Ocean. Nestled among the gentle contours of Poipu Bay you’ll discover the remains of Hawaiian heiau (places of worship) and ancient stone walls. If this weren’t challenge enough, Mother Nature presents you with one distraction after another. From rare Hawaiian monk seals, green sea turtles, and humpback whales, you’ll have lots of wild excuses to back your scorecard. Plus, Poipu Bay is home to Nene Geese which are endemic to Hawaii, and not encountered anywhere else in the world outside of their native environment.
Even the most focused golfer will be challenged by the breathtaking views. For more information, check out the Course Overview or take the Hole-by-Hole Tour.

Princeville at Hanalei Kauai
The Princeville Resort is home to the multi-award-winning Kaua’i golf courses.
(This is a private course so you'll need to be in the know...)
Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., who brilliantly integrated the wild beauty of the north shore of Kauai. Taking advantage of wilderness areas, natural water features and the dramatic coastline, the courses wind their way through magnificent stands of trees and rolling landscape and views that will astonish you with their unforgettable beauty.
Even if you don’t play golf, it would be more than worth your while to rent some clubs and shoes and no doubt have the time of your life. But do bring a camera, because you could use up an entire memory chip or video taking shots all over the amazing course.
It’s been said that even if it’s raining, golfers will still go out on the course and if they lose a ball, they don’t really care. The experience of playing here is so fantastic and memorable, what’s a drop of rain or two or some lost balls?
Golf Digest this year ranked The Prince as the No. 20 public course in the U.S. – one spot ahead of Kapalua’s Plantation Course on Maui which hosts the PGA Tour’s champions-only event every January. The Prince is also slotted by Golf Digest at the No. 2 golf course in all of Hawaii, behind only the ultra-private Nanea on the Big Island.
There's Ocean Front Golf, and then there is Hōkūala
“I think of Kauai as a laid-back tropical paradise. The island is more quaint and less commercial than Oahu and Maui. I put forth my best effort in the design process. The quality of conditioning, maintenance, and playing experience is important to me. It all reflects on my name and brand. It’s reassuring Timbers Resorts is willing to make a commitment to ensure that the product I have produced is taken care of, enjoyed, and thought well of for generations to come.” – Jack Nicklaus
One signature hole after another. One picture postcard after another. Here, where the ocean meets the land, is as good as a golfer’s life gets. The Ocean Course at Hokuala has been completely renovated in anticipation of your visit.
BEYOND THE COURSE
Every aspect of the game at Hokuala benefits from professionals and facilities second to none. The Hokuala Teaching Center is a destination in its own right, with training sessions from renowned PGA instructors equipped with innovative training technology. And our barefoot mini course is a treat for kids of all ages and abilities.
Majestic Puakea
The course offers some sneak peek views of the Pacific and is built amid volcanic cliffs, massive ravines, and the lush tropical undergrowth.
Puakea rests at the base of Mount Haupu, the towering head to a mountain range that formed the backdrop of several Jurassic Park scenes. The best vantage point of these Hollywood-worthy views is from the par-3 sixth hole, which drops 160 feet to a jungle-surrounding green. Magestic Puakea was devised by Robin Nelson, a celebrated golf architect who did many designs and re-designs of one-third of Hawaii’s roughly 95 courses. Nearly a decade after Hurricane Iniki stalled construction, Nelson revised the original 10 holes to build the remaining eight.
The course is appreciated for its well-regarded layout, impressive vistas, and great rates.
