Play Ko Olina Golf Course
Ko Olina Golf Club, one of Golf Digest’s “Top 75 Resort Courses in the U.S.” is
a challenging 18-hole Oahu golf course built in 1990 by renowned course
architect Ted Robinson. Typical of his designs, Ko Olina Golf Club features
exceptional water features, multi-tiered greens, large landing areas. Located
on the sunny West Coast of Oahu, just a short drive from Honolulu and Waikiki,
Ko Olina Golf Club is also home to the 2012 – 2019 LOTTE Championship
presented by Hershey.
DAY 3 Tuesday April 8, 2025 Oahu, Waikiki Beach
Play Royal Hawaiian Golf Club
Just 20 minutes from Waikiki, today you will be treated to one of the most
unique and breathtaking golf courses on the island of Oahu. Hidden deep
in the heart of lush Maunawili Valley, Royal Hawaiian Golf Club provides the
perfect backdrop for golfers searching for an escape. Recently redesigned by
hall-of-fame golfer Greg Norman, the course features royal palms, banana
and koa trees, and flowing streams full of Hawaiian fish. Don’t miss the
exquisite pond on the signature 11th hole, deep in this verdant paradise. This
challenging course will test every club in your bag with several forced carries
off the tee, bunkers bordered by railroad ties and fairways that fall off into
bunkers and ravines.
DAY 4 Wednesday April 9, 2025 Oahu, North Shore
This morning we will enjoy a sightseeing coach tour of Honolulu and Waikiki
before moving on to Pearl Harbour and a must see exhibition at one of the
world’s most famous landmarks. In the afternoon we will travel to the beautiful
North Shore and check-in to our new Polynesian resort.
DAY 5 Thursday April 10, 2025 Oahu, North Shore
Play Turtle Bay, Fazio Golf Course
The George Fazio Course at Turtle Bay Resort opened in 1972. The 18-hole
design meanders among traditional Hawaiian palms while skirting the North
Shore coast on numerous occasions. It is known for generally being more
forgiving than the Arnold Palmer Course and having breathtaking ocean
views on both the back and front nine. The Fazio Couse has hosted the best
players of a generation, including Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Sam Snead, and
Chi Chi Rodriguez in the first Champions Tour Skins Game. The Fazio Course
has also hosted the LPGA Tour’s Hawaiian Open.
DAY 6 Friday April 11, 2025 Oahu, North Shore
Play Turtle Bay, Palmer Golf Course
Opening in 1992, the Arnold Palmer Course, designed by Arnold Palmer and
Ed Seay, was rated one of Golf Magazine’s “Top 10 New Courses” in America
and ranked 4th among Golf Digest’s “Best New Resort Courses in America” the
year it opened. The Palmer-Seay layout features two very distinct experiences.
The front nine will challenge you with a Scottish Links style layout, while
the back nine has a more tropical setting as it meanders through a tropical
jungle and forest of ironwoods. The course forms a horseshoe around the
Punaho’olapa marsh, an unspoiled 100-acre wetlands and bird sanctuary. The
17th, the signature hole offers panoramic Pacific Ocean views from the green
while the hole is dotted with nine bunkers, which makes it as challenging as
it is scenic.
DAY 7 Saturday April 12, 2025 Pride of America
At midday we will be transferred to the waterfront to board Pride of America.
After settling into your cabin, come out on deck to watch as the ship slips its
moorings and we depart on our amazing 7-night cruise. In the evening enjoy
outstanding cuisine, including specialty Hawaiian dishes, in the ship’s high
quality dining facilities. After dinner, free time for you to explore the ship’s
fabulous facilities.
DAY 8 Sunday April 13, 2025 Kahului, Maui
Play Kapalua Plantation Course
Today you will play the #1 golf course in Hawaii. The Plantation Course is
sure to be on every golfer’s bucket list. Designed by Ben Crenshaw and Bill
Coore, the course was designed on a grand scale in keeping with its location
on the slopes of the West Maui Mountains and offers dramatic ocean views
from virtually every hole. Its lengthy 7,411 yard par 73 layout challenges the
pros but it’s wide fairways and generous greens make it very playable for the
average golfer. With dramatic elevation changes, this course offers plenty of
downhill tee shots. You’ll feel like one of the pros when – with the aid of the
aggressive slope of the 18th fairway – you will enjoy hitting one of the longest
drives of your life.
DAY 9 Monday April 14, 2025 Kahului, Maui
Play The Dunes at Maui Lani
The Dunes at Maui Lani truly is one of the hidden gems in the Hawaiian islands.
While you won’t have the opportunity to play along the ocean, you do get to
experience a links style course with a Hawaiian flare that also boasts some of
the most impressive mountain views on the island.
DAY 10 Tuesday April 15, 2025, Hilo, Hawaii
This morning, we arrive in the town of Hilo, which is Hawaii’s largest island.
We will enjoy a sightseeing coach tour of the island’s east coast with a local
guide including a visit to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park where you will
get close to the action, visiting popular sites such as Halemaumau Crater, the
Kilauea Iki crater, and Devastation Trail.
DAY 11 Wednesday April 16, 2025 Kailua, Hawaii
Play Mauna Kea Golf Course
There are few experiences that can equal the one at Mauna Kea Golf Course.
Still considered to be one of the benchmarks by which other island courses
are judged, the course has consistently held a spot in Golf Digest top 100.
The multi-award winning Mauna Kea Golf Course has led the way in standards
of course beauty and design since 1964, solidifying its place in Hawaii’s
history as one of the most scenic and favored golf courses. Designed by
Robert Trent Jones Sr., the 18-hole championship course presents dramatic
changes in elevation, large undulating greens and 120 well-placed bunkers.
The spectacular signature hole is the famous third, where surging inlet water
races to meet the rocky shoreline, affording one of the most dramatic and
breathtaking views of any course today.
DAY 12 Thursday April 17, 2025
Nawiliwili, Kauai
A free day to explore the beautiful island of Kauai. You may like to visit the awe
inspiring spectacle of Waimea Canyon, a vast chasm stretching 10 miles long
and plunging 3,000 feet deep, adorned with a vibrant palette of volcanic rock
and lush foliage. You can also board a riverboat and glide along the tranquil
waters of the Wailua River, winding through verdant jungles to the famed
Fern Grotto. Enter this enchanted cavern, draped with verdant ferns, and be
serenaded by a chorus performing the timeless Hawaiian Wedding Song.
DAY 13 Friday April 18, 2025 Nawiliwili, Kauai
Play Hokuala (Ocean) Golf Course
Today is gorgeous Hokuala, one of the World’s Most Beautiful Golf Courses
according to MSN Travel and ranked #8 in “Best-Of-State” rankings by Golf
Magazine in 2014. The Ocean Course at Hokuala is known for having the
longest continuous stretch of ocean holes in all of Hawaii, so be sure and come
prepared with enough battery life and storage in your phone as you’ll want to
take plenty of pictures while on this enchanting landscape.
