Features
Built
on 163 acres, leaving untouched as much of the island's flora as
possible, the course's front nine plays through ravines wooded with
pine, koa and eucalyptus trees. Water features, a Ted Robinson
trademark, are everywhere: seven lakes, flowing streams with cascading
waterfalls, and one green, Number 8, that is completely surrounded by a
lake. The first seven holes of the back nine meander across high country
at an altitude of 2,000 feet. The "signature hole," Number 17, plays
from a 250-foot elevated tee to a fairway bordered by a lake along its
right side, and trees and dense shrubs along its left.
