Royal Kā‘anapali Course
One of only two Robert Trent Jones, Sr. designed golf courses in Hawai‘i, the Royal Kā‘anapali course utilizes the rolling landscape to create gently sloping fairways and large contoured greens to provide for a challenging approach to each hole. Featuring a par-71 layout stretching 6,700 yards from the coastline up to the foothills of the West Maui Mountains, this course challenges a golfer's club selection and short game skills around the green. Arnold Palmer referred to the 18th as one of the best and most challenging closing holes he had played, with the entire stretch of the 449-yard hole hugging a brackish water canal, making for a memorable finish. As you make your way around, take in the scenic vistas and views of Lanai and Molokai in the distance, and be sure to check out the historical plaques on each tee which the share stories and history of Kā‘anapali.
