Golf Courses
South Course at Mauna Lani Resort
Architects: H. Flint, R. F. Cain &R. Nelson
Description:
The South Course is built on the prehistoric Kaniku lava flow, geologically a relatively young flow. The resort course snakes through stark, rugged, a'a lava. Volcano goddess Pele reigns supreme on this course. If she favors you, balls hit into the lava will miraculously bounce back into the fairway. If not, kiss them good-bye. Aside from great golf, this challenging course offers the golfer a range of mountain and ocean views and was home of the Senior Skins Game for 10 years.

North Course at Mauna Lani Resort
Architects: H. Flint, R. F. Cain &R. Nelson
Description:
The North Course, although a resort course, is excellent for tournament play. Built on a lava bed much older than the Kaniku lava flow on which the south course lies, it is characterized by rolling terrain and kiawe (mesquite) groves. Trees often come into play on this course. A 230-acre protected archaeological district touches the northern boundary of the course. Herds of feral goats frequent the entire course, moving from hole to hole throughout the day.
