About the CourseÂ
The par 72, 6,208-yard Kapolei Golf Club was designed by architect Ted Robinson, who is best known for his use of water features and referred to as the "King of Waterscapes," which is very visible at Kapolei. Kapolei's elevated greens, 80 bunkers and five lakes provide delightful tactical challenges. All of greens are visible from tee ground, and Kapolei's wide fairways and generous greenside chipping areas deliver a high level of overall playability for golfers of all levels.
