THE COURSE The 18-hole championship Poipu Bay Golf Course is a Hawaiian Classic situated on 210 oceanfront acres adjacent to Grand Hyatt Kauaʻi Resort & Spa. COMBINING THE BEAUTY OF NATURE AND THE DESIGN OF ROBERT TRENT JONES, JR The course is bordered by emerald-green mountains, 30 acres of tropical plants, and ancient places of worship. 85 BUNKERS, 5 WATER HAZARDS, WILDLY VARYING TRADE WINDS The 7,123 yard, par-72 course played host to the PGA Grand Slam of Golf from 1994-2006, with the most difficult entry requirements of any event in golf. GREENS Sea Shore Paspalum hybrid (supreme). Along with being more eco friendly by using less herbicides and water, the grass provides a more consistent putting surface. EXCEPTIONAL AMENITIES In-cart satellite navigation, bottled water, and cold citrus-scented towels to keep you refreshed after your round.
HOLE-BY-HOLE (1-4) HOLE 1 -- Par 4 -- 428 Yards. The tradewinds are directly behind the player and slightly from the right on the first hole, which is bordered by bunkers on both sides of the fairway. For players to take advantage of the tradewinds at their back, the preferred shape of the tee shot should be right to left. With this shot, the player should have little trouble carrying the bunker on the left and will be set up for a short iron into the green. There are no distinct slopes on this green, and the break is subtle, making it a difficult green to read and to hold. HOLE 2 -- Par 5 -- 524 Yards. This seemingly reachable par five plays uphill and into the wind. The large fairway bunker to the right misleads the player, as it appears to be driveable but plays longer than it looks. Choosing the right center of the fairway gives the player the best angle for a lay-up or the option to attack the hole in two. The well-guarded green, with bunkers, deep rough and grassy hollows, provides penalties to those who miss it. Paying close attention to wind and grain direction is crucial in judging putts on this hole. HOLE 3 -- Par 3 -- 209 Yards. The third hole plays the longest of all par 3s on the course. With the wind sweeping from left to right, his hole provides options to the player. The shape of shot off the elevated tee will play a significant part in the decisions ahead. Players who choose a left to right shape will need to aim significantly to the left and expect the ball to bounce and roll in the same direction. Choosing the other shape will mean more club but better control of the ball on the ground. Either way, this is the strongest 3 par the player will face on the course. HOLE 4 -- Par 4 -- 380 Yards. This hole plays into prevailing winds, giving players their first taste of the type of shots that are necessary to be successful on this course. Controlling the trajectory off the tee and on the approach will prove crucial on all holes that play into the wind. On most of the holes that play in this direction, par is a good score. On this hole, a large cross-bunker creates a dogleg right for most players, but there’s plenty of room to the left. Driving the ball in the left center of the fairway will leave players with a straightforward knock-down shot into a well-bunkered green. The large chipping area to the right of the green, past the bunker, offers players their only bail-out on the 2nd shot.
HOLE-BY-HOLE (5-8) HOLE 5 -- Par 4 -- 355 Yards. The 5th fairway may not be one of the longest on the course, but it certainly provides one of the most challenging tee shots. With bunkers to the left and right, the wide, sloping fairway feeds balls into a hollow on the left. Placing the ball in the right side of the fairway sets up a simple pitch to a slightly elevated green. Out of all the holes that play into the wind, this one yields the most birdies, but players who miss the fairway will be challenged to walk away with par. HOLE 6 -- Par 5 -- 573 Yards. The longest hole on the course, the 6th has proven to play the easiest over the years. As the course changes direction once again, play is now downwind with firm, fast fairways giving most players a green light in going for the green. The 6th green is the second largest on the course--odd to find it on a par five. Large undulating slopes dissect the middle of the green, which is guarded by deep bunkers left and right. To have any chance for birdie, the player must place the ball in the proper area of the green. The target is the left side. HOLE 7 -- Par 3 -- 179 Yards. The shortest par 3 on the course, this is a short but difficult hole. Bunkers surround the front, left and back of the green, and a large pond guards the right. Most players will view this hole as an opportunity to be aggressive, using a relatively short club into a relatively large green. However, players must judge the wind well and commit to the line to have any chance to get it close. The wind will carry the ball, and the back bunker catches a lot of shots. The large green, terraced from left to right, has subtle slopes, making it nearly impossible to read. HOLE 8 -- Par 4 -- 374 yards. For most players the 8th hole is where the course begins. Here, the course turns back into the wind, presenting some of Poipu Bay’s most difficult and scenic holes. From the tee the player faces bunkers left and right as well as a barranca bordering the right side of the fairway. Again, controlling the ball flight will help in keeping a straighter ball, as the wind tends to push the ball to the right. The player’s approach shot is into the course’s smallest green, surrounded by bunkers. If the ball is not placed in the middle to right center of the fairway, the player will face a very awkward shot. Placing the ball on the right level of this tiered green is crucial for any chance of birdie.
HOLE-BY-HOLE (9-12) HOLE 9 -- Par 4 -- 420 Yards. This is the most difficult hole on the course--the number one handicap. This daunting hole plays into the tradewinds, and large bunkers guard both sides of the fairway at one point narrowing the fairway to only 24 yards in width. The 2nd shot plays uphill into the wind, with a lone bunker guarding the right side of the elevated green. The green plays more narrow than it looks, with the front and left sloping off to chipping areas. This is the first hole to feature one of four archaeological sites on the course dating back over 500 years. The 9th hole includes a lava rock heiau (an ancient site of worship) located to the right side of the fairway--adding historical significance and even more challenge to this hole. Players cannot enter these culturally sensitive areas or play balls from them. If a ball comes to rest within a heiau, it must be abandoned under penalty of one stroke. Players who miss the fairway on this hole will need a quality golf shot or will have to rely on their short game to save par. HOLE 10 -- Par 4 -- 429 Yards. A very long, demanding hole. The tee shot should be placed between the right and left fairway bunkers. This will leave the player with a 2nd shot of over 200 yards to the green, which is guarded with bunkers on both sides and with 20% of the right side falling away to a deep grassy hollow. The smart play is to the left side of the hole--if you’re going to make a mistake here, don’t do it to the right. The player’s chances of an up and down is more likely. HOLE 11 -- Par 3 -- 193 Yards. This beautifully landscaped hole presents a picturesque scene, but play here is not as serene as it might appear. The hole plays downhill with a left to right crosswind towards a large pond. Only after a careful study will the player realize the quick movement of the green toward the pond. Players who miss the green will gain greater respect for the water below. Regardless of the hole location, most players will be pleased to find the middle of the green with their tee shot. On this hole, a well-struck golf shot is usually rewarded with par. HOLE 12 -- Par 4 -- 435 Yards. Turning towards the mountains, this hole offers a spectacular head-on view of Mount Haʻupu. Tee shot should be placed in left center of the fairway to position it for the ideal 2nd shot. Players will then be faced with an uphill shot into the wind, to a green that runs narrow from front to back. Placement of bunkers to the left, front and back of the green makes club selection crucial.
HOLE-BY-HOLE (13-15) HOLE 13 -- Par 4 -- 384 Yards. A relatively short par 4, this hole plays crosswind off the tee into a narrow fairway with a bunker on the left. A pond borders the front and right of the green, so players will want to lay up to 150 to 115 yards for their 2nd shot. Entrance to the three-tiered green is guarded by bunkers on the left. If the hole is placed on the player’s right, choosing a direct route to the hole is dangerous, as the pond curves back behind the hole. The player should be aggressive with a well-placed tee shot--that will give him the best opportunity for birdie. HOLE 14 -- Par 5 -- 537 Yards. Although not the longest in yardage, this hole plays the longest of all the par 5s because it’s uphill and into the wind. The tee shot is blind--players can’t see the fairway. Instead, pick a cluster of trees behind the green as target for the tee shot. Bunkers are placed to the left and right, with a large bunker resting near the middle of the fairway. With their 2nd shot, players must choose to go left or right. The 3rd shot plays to an elevated green with winds sweeping off the bluff, making it difficult to judge distance to any hole location. HOLE 15 -- Par 4 -- 427 Yards. At the 15th hole, the course turns downwind downhill and is bordered on the left by the largest water hazard in the world: the Pacific Ocean. The spectacular ocean view from this elevated tee sets the tone for the stunning vistas found here and on the next three holes. Don’t get distracted. This hole doesn’t play particularly long, but three large fairway bunkers guard the right, and then there is that massive water hazard to the left! Players have the option to bomb it down the fairway for a short 2nd shot or place the tee shot short and left of the bunkers. Approach shots should be aimed right to avoid the severe slope on the left side of the green. The hole plays straight downwind, giving the player less control of the ball--hitting the fairway is a premium.
HOLE-BY-HOLE (16-18) HOLE 16 -- Par 4 -- 501 Yards. Considered Poipu Bay’s “Signature Hole” for its combination of challenge and beauty, the 16th hole was dubbed “the Pebble Beach of the Pacific” by Robert Trent Jones for its sprawling run along rugged coastline. An enormous 501 yards, this hole is the longest par 4 on the course and one of the longest in the state. Play is downhill, downwind from an elevated tee, with a variety of challenges: a small lake followed by two fairway bunkers on the right, a sheer cliff dropping to the ocean on the left, and a dogleg left created by an ancient rock wall and heiau, marked as a hazard. Both fairway and green slope toward the sea. Most players will use the fairway bunker on the right to shape their tee shot to the fairway. If they don‘t keep their ball to the right portion of the fairway, they’ll face having to fire their next shot over the heiau. The undulating 16th green is Poipu Bay’s largest and most contoured, guarded by three bunkers stretching from the right to the back of the green. Players will be pleased to walk away from this hole with a four. HOLE 17 -- Par 3 -- 225 Yards. This elevated tee offers a spectacular ocean vista--and a prime whale watching viewpoint during winter months! This hole includes two protected ancient structures: a heiau situated adjacent to the elevated tee and a stone wall to the left of the fairway. This is the longest par 3 on the course, but downhill and downwind the hole plays shorter than the yardage indicates. Aiming to the left of the green will allow the tradewinds to move the ball right. The green is guarded by bunkers left and right. Holding this green with a mid to long iron will be difficult. HOLE 18 -- Par 5 -- 550 Yards. A strategy hole, with a large pond on the left of the fairway and green and a lateral hazard on the right. A solid tee shot over the center of the fairway bunker may allow the player to go for the green in two. Players who don’t find the fairway will often choose to lay up. The center to back of the green runs away from the player, making the 3rd shot difficult to hold. Coming into this hole, players are looking to finish on a high note by making birdie.
POIPU BAY’S “SIGNATURE” 16TH HOLE Poipu Bay’s par 4, 16th hole was dubbed “the Pebble Beach of the Pacific” by Robert Trent Jones, Jr. for its sprawling run along rugged coastline. Named one of the “Best 18 Holes in the West” by Los Angeles Magazine, the 16th is one of Poipu Bay’s most scenic--and challenging--holes, featuring panoramic ocean and mountain vistas with both fairway and green sloping toward the sea. An enormous 501 yards, this hole is the longest par 4 on the course and one of the longest in the state. Play is downhill from an elevated tee, with a variety of challenges: a small lake followed by two fairway bunkers on the right, a dogleg left created by an ancient rock wall and heiau marked as a hazard, and a severe drop in elevation on the left bordered by sheer cliffs and the largest water hazard in the world--the Pacific Ocean. The undulating 16th green is Poipu Bay’s largest and its most contoured, guarded by three bunkers stretching from the right to the back of the green. The 16th hole plays downwind, and depending upon its intensity the wind can assist in producing some pretty impressive accomplishments. Normally, however, this hole challenges even the most fearless players. “It’s just hard,” said Tiger Woods about Poipu Bay’s 16th hole at the 2002 PGA Grand Slam of Golf. “It’s a brutal hole. You know if you pull it left you are hitting again, and if you hit it right you are making a bogey. You just have to be real committed on that hole.”
