Mauna Kea

Robert Trent Jones Jr. recently completed renovation work here, on a course originally built by his father. The natural beauty and mesmerizing views were unaltered, as was the famously scenic par-3 3rd, which plays up to 272 yards from the tips. That daunting carry over the ocean lapping below is a highlight, while uneven lies, elevation changes and sharp doglegs elevate the design far beyond standard resort golf. Take note of its namesake volcano looming high in the distance at almost 14,000 feet above sea level, breathe in the fragrant plumeria and enjoy the rollercoaster ride.
