In designing the 7,014-yard, par 72 championship course, Greg Norman and Ted Robinson sought to conserve as many native plants as possible while creating a battlefield worthy of golf aficionados. As legions of discerning golfers have discovered, playing a round at the Experience at Koele ensures you will take home bragging rights, regardless of your score. Unlike most Hawaiian courses, the Experience is 2000 feet above sea level.

Chiseled from the mountains, the front nine holes of the Experience at Koele run through old pineapple fields and deep valley gorges laced with kiawe trees and rare, regal koa. The back nine wind past pine cathedrals and thickets of eucalyptus, with untrammeled views of neighboring Maui and Molokai rising from the sea, and deliver a staggering finish: a 250-foot drop from the signature seventeenth hole to the deepest ravine on Lana'i.

This championship course has garnered numerous awards and accolades since its opening just over 20 years ago. For no other links course in Hawaii, perhaps even the world, offers such an incredible combination of upland terrain, inspired landscape architecture, and range of play challenges.(COURSE IS CLOSED EVERY MONDAY AND TUESDAY)

Re-play The Experience at Koele or golf at The Challenge at Manele on the same day for only $50.
