Francis H. I‘i Brown North Course

Mauna Lani’s North Course is capable of providing better players a challenging round and is nowadays considered the resort’s “tournament course.” Though its yardage is roughly the same as the South Course (6,913 yards), the North plays longer and par can be a more difficult achievement.

Many of the holes are cut out of a lava-lined kiawe forest, so players find more trees here than on the South. Four holes, in fact, have trees in the middle of fairway landing areas, making accuracy and angle to the green important.

The course plays dramatically down to the edge of the ocean at hole 9, a medium-length par 4 with an intimidating tidal pool guarding the right side of the green.

The North Course presents a great collection of short par 3s, all with elevation changes from tee to green. Perhaps the most famous hole on this course is No. 17, a par 3 that plays a maximum of 132 yards from an elevated tee to a putting surface nestled into an amphitheater lava bowl. This exciting hole often plays with a cross wind that makes club selection especially crucial.
