When it comes to the very best public golf courses in Hawaii, Mauna Kea Golf Course is at the very top of the list with the Plantation Course on Maui. While the Plantation Course benefits from its pedigree as a PGA Tour stop and a Coore & Crenshaw design, Mauna Kea Golf Course is forced to rely on the strength of its design in the face of declining merit from Robert Trent Jones Jr & Sr. Even with this disadvantage, Mauna Kea Golf Course holds its own.
Despite your opinions on what the finest public golf course in Hawaii is, Mauna Kea is worth a visit and a photograph here is certainly worth 1000 words. Please enjoy a walk… and flight around one of the Aloha State’s finest. All yardages listed are from the championship tees and at 7370 yards, this golf course has some serious monsters.
