Course Overview
Deception is the prevailing theme at the stunning Plantation Course. Enormous fairways lure you into whaling away, yet far more important than distance is taking advantage of proper angles into the greens, a classic gambit consistently offered in the designs of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw. The duo deftly used long-range views of nearby Lanai and Molokai to constantly throw off depth perception, while vexing trade winds can both help and hurt. (Fingers crossed for downwind conditions on the two closing holes.) Catch this course on a day with firm and fast conditions, and it can be aloha at first sight.
