Ko Olina is considered one of Hawaii's top courses. Opened in 1990, Ko Olina has been recognized by Golf Digest as one of the "Top 75 Resort Courses in the U.S.". Ko Olina has also been host to the LPGA Tour (1990-1995) and the Senior PGA Tour (1992). The course includes 16 water features on 8 different holes, multi-tiered greens, and well-manicured fairways. Ko Olina will challenge golfers to use every club in the bag with its demanding par 3's, well bunkered greens and gentle tradewinds. Large landing areas and varying lengths from the tees allow Ko Olina to accommodate players of all skill levels. Water is the defining feature at the beautiful Ko Olina Golf Club, located only 25 miles from Honolulu on Oahu's sunny southwest tip. Ted Robinson, a designer best known for his "waterscapes," took former sugar cane lands and moved more than a million cubic yards of dirt to create Ko Olina. He added moundings and contours, elevated tees and greens, and planted more than a thousand stately coconut palms and other trees. And, true to his trademark, he added lots of water. Waterfalls feed into streams that widen into pools that become lakes From the back tees Ko Olina measures 6,867 yards and is superbly maintained, with wide fairways and well-bunkered, multi-tiered greens.
