Kapalua Plantation Course – Hawaii’s Golf Paradise
Set on the lush slopes of the West Maui Mountains overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the Plantation Course at Kapalua is Hawaii’s most famous golf destination and host of the PGA TOUR’s annual Sentry Tournament of Champions. Designed in 1991 by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, this par-73 masterpiece stretches over 7,500 yards, weaving through pineapple fields and rolling terrain with panoramic ocean views.
Known for its dramatic elevation changes and wide fairways, Kapalua offers some of the most unique shot-making challenges in golf. The downhill par-4 18th, for example, measures over 660 yards but plays much shorter thanks to its steep drop toward the ocean.
