Golf in Hawaii

Golf from Ko 'Olau, where we played on Thursday. Behind us is a view of Kaneohe.

Downhill par 3
Long par 4, with Pali lookout on the upper right.


Lot's of forced carries on this course, makes shot selection really important. Also note the close proximity of the jungle to the edge of the rough. Hit a ball in there it's a lateral hazard, you ain't finding your ball.

Went to golf today at Ko 'Olina. They had a special where they will pick you up from your Waikiki and drop you off. We booked it, but were a bit surprised when we were picked up in a Limo. The limo driver was really nice and friendly. Ko 'Olina is located on the other side of the island, west side. It was right next to the Paradise Cove Luau, which is the Luau we went to with HP a few years back. I like it much better than Germaine's that we went to this year. They are building a Disneyland resort right near Ko 'Olina, it's scheduled to open in Nov 2011. It's also where all the NFL pro bowl players would stay, when the Pro Bowl was being held in Hawaii. Overall it was a very nice course, wide open. In a lot of ways I liked it better than Ko 'Olau, but it felt more manicured and professional.



Nice little par 3 here, great views, not so great scores.
