Two of the most memorable are Nos. 7 and 15. These two strong par 3s play right at the edge of the Pacific, with No. 15 teeing off over a wide bay to a large putting surface on the other side. The South is a course of extreme beauty, providing an enjoyable round of golf for all players, regardless of skill level. Francis H. I‘i Brown The late Francis Hyde I‘i Brown was affectionately known in Hawai‘i as Mr. Golf. A descendent of Hawaiian royalty, in 1932 he purchased Kalahuipua‘a—what is now Mauna Lani—for $3,200. It would be his ¯ retreat, where the former territorial representative "replenished his Hawaiian soul in the same ways his ancestors did" according to nephew Kenneth F. Brown. A quiet benefactor, Brown had the gift of treating everyone he encountered—from John Wayne to an usher—with equal kindness. His extraordinary golfing skills were legendary. He hit prodigiously long drives with hickory-shafted clubs and the less-compressed balls of his day. For years he held the course record (62) at the Old Course at St. Andrews; he had 14 holes-in-one, and once held the amateur title of Hawai‘i, Japan and California concurrently.
