Ko Olina Golf Club

About Ko Olina Golf Club

This Ted Robinson design opened in 1989 as the crown jewel of the Ko Olina Resort development, and it remains one of Oahu's most visually stunning rounds. The routing takes full advantage of the dramatic coastline setting, with four holes playing directly along the Pacific Ocean where trade winds and crashing waves create both beauty and challenge. Robinson's signature water features are everywhere, lagoons, waterfalls, and strategic ponds that punish wayward shots while creating postcard-worthy backdrops. The course condition is consistently excellent, befitting its resort pedigree, though green fees reflect that premium maintenance and prime real estate location. What sets Ko Olina apart from other Hawaiian resort courses is how playable it remains despite the visual intimidation, the ocean holes have generous bailout areas, and most of Robinson's water hazards are more strategic than penal. Walking is allowed, which is rare for an upscale resort track, though the layout's length and Hawaii's heat make a cart the practical choice for most players.
