Municipal and public walking golf in Hawaii doesn't get the attention it deserves on the mainland
Municipal and public walking golf in Hawaii doesn't get the attention it deserves on the mainland. Kahuku is where local golfers actually play. Nine holes at fees that don't require a resort stay. The 2,699-yard layout uses Hawaiian terrain shaped by forces no course architect could replicate elsewhere. A par-6 seventh hole anchors the round. It's the number one handicap hole on the card, and playing it twice from different tees on an 18-hole loop is part of what makes this place memorable. The full 18 plays to 2,699 yards with a course rating of 67.4. Eight par-3s and four par-5s across the loop demand range across your bag. walking allowed, which is the only honest way to move through this landscape. At $17-$33, you won't think twice about the price. Book an early tee time. Walking in mid-morning Hawaiian heat is a different proposition than the same round at 7 a.m.
