The iconic Mauna Kea Golf Course, originally crafted in 1964 by Robert Trent Jones Sr. on a rugged black lava field, has been thoughtfully renovated by his son, Robert Trent Jones Jr. This transformation preserves the original vision while enhancing playability with elevated, undulating greens and coastal winds that challenge precision. The refreshed layout features lush fairways, refined bunkers, and immaculate greens—all framed by dramatic seaside cliffs and sweeping ocean views. Highlighting the experience is the unforgettable Signature 3rd Hole, where you’ll tee off over the ocean for a truly epic round.
