Princeville Makai Golf Course

Hole 7 at Princeville Makai Golf Course sets the tone for what this layout delivers: a 213-yard carry from the back tees over cliffs, with a green framed by white bunkers and views of the mountains and the Pacific Ocean. That hole is part of an 18-hole, par-72 resort course in Princeville, Hawaii, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and opened in 1971, stretching to 7,200 yards from the tips. The routing moves through serene lakes, native woodlands, and along a spectacular coastline. Golf Digest has ranked it among the Top 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses in America, GolfWeek places it in the Top 3 Best Courses You Can Play in Hawaii, and National Geographic Traveler has cited it among the top five scenic golf settings in the world. Practice facilities include two large practice tees, seven target greens with bunkers, and a short game complex with a practice fairway bunker. The golf shop carries Greg Norman, Adidas, Under Armour, Travis Mathew, and Peter Millar, with Callaway rental clubs available. Makai Grill serves entrees and pupus in an open-air setting with a full bar and the signature Makai Tai cocktail.
