The Best Golf Courses in Lanai

  • The Lanai Courses: For quality and seclusion, nothing in Hawaii can touch Lanai's two golf-resort offerings. The Experience at Koele (tel. 800/321-4666), designed by Ted Robinson and Greg Norman, and the Challenge at Manele (tel. 800/321-4666), a wonderful Jack Nicklaus course, with ocean views from every hole, rate among Hawaii's best courses. Both are tremendous fun to play, with the Experience featuring the par-4 8th hole, which drops some 150 yards from tee to fairway, and the Challenge boasting the par-3 12th, which plays from one cliff side to another over a Pacific inlet -- one of the most stunning holes in Hawaii.
