| Hawaii Country Club was opened in 1958. As
the name "Hawaii Country Club" suggests, it is the oldest public course
on the island of Oahu. |
| . |
| Hawaii Country Club is located in the "Kunia
district" in the mid-western section on the Island of Oahu, among the majestic
pineapple fields. Built on a slightly elevated pass at the foot of the
Waianae Mountain Range, it preserves the natural topography of the land.
When built, it was full of natural beauty and the atmosphere of the good-old-days
in Hawaii. In those days when there were only a few golf courses, it was
extremely popular as a very rare public course, where everybody could play
at a reasonable rate. |
| . |
| The view from the course is magnificent and
has left a deep impression on many players. From many spots within the
golf course, one can see Pearl Harbor and further away in the distance
is Diamond Head and the high-rises in Downtown Honolulu. If dining at the
Clubhouse Restaurant, one can also view the beautiful Honolulu city lights
at night. |
| . |
| As the years passed and the sugar cane industry
declined in Hawaii, many golf courses were built on the land where the
sugar cane fields once used to be. The "golf course at Kunia", which is
how our country club is often referred to locally, continues to have the
natural beauty and the atmosphere of the good-old-days. |
| . |
| In 1998, (our 40th Anniversary) Hawaii Country
Club reopened the 16th (par5) and the 17th (par3) holes, after complete
and extensive remodeling. We have won the praise of local golfers
since these new holes are bigger, more fun, more beautiful, and more challenging
than ever before, while still maintaining the harmony with nature and with
the rest of the course. |

"The natural beauty and the atmosphere of the good-old-days"
"Simplicity - as a country club was originally intended to have"
|
| - Those are things that Hawaii Country Club will continue to carefully
protect as it evolves and enters the 21st century. |

| The course was built to preserve the naturally
twisting landscapes of the underlying valley. Compared with many of the
flatter courses on the island of Oahu, it has a uniquely charactered landscape
with many hills and valleys. |
| . |
| Within the course are about 200 natural Monkey
Pod Trees, which is an important factor to consider when mastering the
course. Since every hole is so rich in variety, playing at this challenging
course will surely be an event to remember for a long time. |
| . |
| Accuracy and calmness are the keys to successful
scoring, rather than long-range driving, since the overall distances are
not very long. Although the greens may not be very fast (except at the
newly renovated 16th and 17th holes), please do watch out for the slopes.
If you only look at the grass without judging the slopes correctly, you
can very easily putt 3 or 4 times. |
| . |
| As long as you watch out for the above points,
this course can be enjoyed by a wide variety of players, beginners as well
as advanced players, junior as well as senior players. A woman who knows
the basics of golf, for example, can expect to get good scores. |
