Public golf in Hawaii gets overlooked on the mainland
Public golf in Hawaii gets overlooked on the mainland. Kailua Kona is where locals actually play. Eighteen holes at rates that don't require a resort stay. The 7,117-yard layout sits on volcanic terrain. No architect replicates this. Slope is 131. Walking here demands conditioning. Book early. The mid-morning heat is a different animal than a 7 a.m. start.
