Hualälai Golf Course Hole 12 • Par 3 • YDS/167/145/131/97 Photo: Evan Schiller Four Seasons Resort Hualalai & Kona Village Resort ¯ Staying at the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai or the Kona Village Resort ¯ has its privileges, including the opportunity to play the otherwise-private Hualalai Golf Course, a Jack Nicklaus Signature Design. Of course other privileges of booking at these tropical resorts include spacious bungalows, world-class spas, sweeping ocean views and extremely inviting dining options. Photo: Kyle Rothenborg 3-iron might be the club, as the winds might be blowing onshore. A strong par 4 home hole, No. 18 is a sharp dogleg left that invites players to bite off as much of the corner as they can chew. But there is a phalanx of sand bunkers lining the left and more around the green. A tee shot too short or left leaves a long and difficult sand shot to the wellguarded green. The smart play is to the wide part of the fairway, which leaves a short-iron home. The plush clubhouse locker room reminds you that you’re following in the footsteps of greatness, as nameplates on the lockers read: Jack Nicklaus, Hale Irwin, Arnold Palmer and other heroes who have competed here. A second course at Hualalai, called ¯ Ke‘olu, was designed by Tom Weiskopf and is reserved exclusively for members. 24 The Official Golf Guide to Hawai‘i’s Big Island
