Kukuiula Golf Course

Detailed description of Kukuiula Golf Course

Kukuiula Golf Course is a private, 18-hole golf course located in Koloa, Hawaii.

The course, designed by Tom Weiskopf, first opened for play in 2010.

The course was built on land that had been a sugar cane plantation with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean from almost all of the holes, however, the Ocean does not come into play.

The fairways are generous in landing areas, which is a good thing, miss the fairway and you'll find yourself in the thick, wiry Bahia grass that borders the fairways and hides golf balls for over 3 minutes.

Highlight holes on the front nine include #s 5, 6, and 7, which rise, fall then rise again across the gentle coastal landscape. On the inward half, short par fours at #11 and #14 catch the eye, as does the par-5, 504-yard closing hole, played to a pond-protected 18th green.

Par for the course is 72. From the back tees, the course plays to 7,028 yards. From the forward tees, the course measures 4,986 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 7, a par-5 that plays to 563 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 12, a par-3 that plays to 155 yards from the back tees.

Watch out for # 5, a 452-yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole at Kukuiula Golf Course is # 12, the 155 yard par-3.
