Kauai boasts some of Hawaii's best golf courses. The Poipu Bay Golf Course, designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., is spectacularly situated between scenic Poipu Bay and the lush green mountains of Kauai. This links-style championship course, site of the PGA Grand Slam of Golf, combines a challenging layout with numerous attractions, including breathtaking scenery, humpback whales frolicking offshore, and the remains of Hawaiian heiau (places of worship) and ancient stone walls. Visitors staying in Poipu condos can call 800-858-6300 up to 30 days in advance for Poipu Bay Golf Course tee times.Another popular Poipu golf course is the Kiahuna Golf Club (808-742-9595), also designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr. This par 70 course mixes golf with a bit of Hawaiian history. The holes are set amid archeological sites that give golfers not only a challenging round amid the natural beauty of the region, but also provide a glimpse into the Polynesian history of the area. The Kiahuna Golf Club boasts five sets of tees, with a total yardage of 6,885 yards from the championship tees, as well as plenty of bunkers and water hazards to challenge all levels of golfers.
Poipu Beach vacation rentals are also convenient to the Kauai Lagoons Golf Club, located near the Lihue Airport, which offers two scenic and challenging par 72 courses designed by Jack Nicklaus. The 6,674-yard Kiele Course has been ranked as one of the "100 Greatest Golf Courses" by Golf Digest and awarded a "Gold Medal" by Golf Magazine. This challenging layout, perched on the Pacific coastline, offers spectacular views and gorgeous landscaping. The 6,578-yard Mokihana Course is equally stunning, but a bit more forgiving.
