Francis H. I‘i Brown South Course

Named in honor of Mauna Lani’s visionary founder, Francis H. I‘i Brown— champion amateur golfer, adventurer and sailor—the two courses at Mauna Lani are striking examples of lava-lined Big Island golf. The fairways are beautiful corridors of bright green grass snaking through vast fields of dark black lava next to an azure sea.

The South Course was longtime host of the PGA Senior Tour’s Skins Game (1990-2000), with such renowned champions as Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Lee Trevino and Chi Chi Rodriguez regularly participating. Talk about walking in the footsteps of legends!

There are few trees on the South Course, and more ocean front holes than any other course on the Kohala Coast. Two of the most memorable are Nos. 7 and 15. These two strong par 3s play right at the edge of the Pacific, with No. 15 teeing off over a wide bay to a large putting surface on the other side.

The South is a course of extreme beauty, providing an enjoyable round of golf for all players, regardless of skill level.
