Three championship courses, The Bay, The Village and The Plantation, set amidst Maui’s magnificent landscape make Kapalua the #1 golf resort in Hawaii. Each distinctive course presents its own challenge to a player’s abilities... even PGA TOUR professionals are put to the test as they compete in the Mercedes Championships. This PGA TOUR event is held every January on Kapalua’s Plantation Course.
Arnold Palmer and Francis Duane designed The Bay Course. The forerunner of Kapalua’s three championship golf courses, The Bay Course is a 6,600-yard par 72 with gently rolling fairways and generous greens. The Bay Course is an excellent example of resort golf at its best.
Kapalua’s second Arnold Palmer design layout, The Village Course, twists, turns, rises and falls through the West Maui foothills. A serene trek through Hawaiian headlands, stands of Cook and Norfolk pines characterize this par 70 6,317-yard course. The Village is complex enough to challenge the seasoned professional yet can be every bit as enjoyable for beginning golfers as well.
The par 73, 7,263-yard Plantation Course, is the course of the champions, site of the PGA TOUR Mercedes Championships each January featuring an elite field of previous year’s PGA TOUR winners. The field has included such golf greats as Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh, Justin Leonard, Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Davis Love III and more. The grand scale of the course designed by Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore unfurls across natural geographic formations and pineapple plantation fields that take your breath away.
