Item Description
"Mr. Rockefeller, if you allow me to build a golf course here, this'll be the most beautiful hole in the world." Robert Trent Jones, Sr., at the 3rd hole site.
Opening in 1964, Mauna Kea was Hawaii's first great golf course. Located on the Kohala Coast of the Big Island, it remains the standard by which all others are judged.
Robert Trent Jones Sr. pioneered the Kohala Coast's outstanding array of resort courses with his innovative solution to the challenge posed by Laurance Rockefeller in the early 1960s: could a stellar golf course be built atop an unlikely topography of foreboding and barren lava rock'
The answer was to crush the lava rock and import tons of topsoil for the tee boxes, fairways, and greens. When the Mauna Kea Golf Course opened in December 1964, it was quickly recognized as the grand dame of all Hawaii golf courses' title she will likely never surrender. Its classic elevated greens combine with the prevailing trade winds to put a high value on approach shots that must sit gently and accurately on hearty, often pitched greens.
The famous, par-3 signature third hole requires significant water carry along a dramatic rocky shoreline where nooks and crannies host the surging Pacific as well as hundreds of lost golf balls. Many classic holes are found throughout this enviable layout and Mauna Kea remains a can't miss golf experience for all golfers visiting Hawaii's Big Island.
