Attire
Standard golf attire for men and ladies. Collared shirts, slacks (no jeans), shorts (not over 1" above knee), golf shoes with plastic spikes.

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.
