Hawaii Golf Courses
Hawaii has 74 golf courses across four main islands, all playable year-round. About 59 are full 18-hole layouts, with the rest being nine-hole tracks, many tied to military installations or small community clubs. Oahu holds the most courses, with municipal options in Honolulu like Ala Wai and Pali keeping green fees accessible. The Ewa Beach and Kapolei corridor on the leeward side has a run of newer courses, while Kaneohe on the windward side plays in more rain and heavier vegetation.
On the Big Island, the Kohala Coast around Kailua-Kona and Kamuela is the primary golf corridor, with courses cut through black lava fields in dry heat and consistent sunshine. Volcano Golf Course near Hilo sits at 4,000 feet alongside Kilauea, an entirely different climate. Maui splits between the resort hubs of Lahaina, Kaanapali, and Wailea on the west and south coasts, plus upcountry layouts like Pukalani at elevation. Kauai has fewer courses but strong options around Lihue and the Princeville area on the north shore.
Trade winds pick up most afternoons to 15-25 mph, making morning tee times calmer. Green fees at resort courses run well above mainland averages, often $150-250 or more, though twilight rates, kamaaina rates, and municipal courses bring the cost down significantly. Wailua Municipal on Kauai is one of the most affordable rounds in the state and regularly appears on lists of top public courses.
