Ka'anapali Golf Resort
The Ka'anapali Beach Resort is big, it's beautiful and sports an array of activities that is unmatched anywhere in Hawaii. One of the most impressive sights at Ka'anapali is the beach. A perfect three mile stretch of white sand that will invite you to experience every imaginable water sport. Ka'anapali beach is ranked among the world's best beaches. Every member of the family will enjoy this wonderful resort with its variety of activities and accommodations. Blessed with a rich history, there are many sites here that commemorate the areas storied past. Throughout the resort you'll easily find lava rock monuments with plaques that explain the significance of the place. One of the most recognizable historic icons is the Lahaina – Ka'anapali & Pacific Railroad. A relic of Hawaii's 20th century plantation era the vintage steam locomotive, often called the Sugar Cane Train, will transport you back in time as you travel between Ka'anapali and Lahaina. The name Ka'anapali has always been synonymous with golf both for its thousands of visitors each year and also for hosting the best players in the world...it began back in 1962... And what a day it was when the Royal Ka'anapali Golf course opened with none other than Bing Crosby doing the honors. Shell's Wonderful World of Golf was held here in 1963 and a year later the formidable U.S. team of Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer teamed up to capture the World Cup. And that was just the beginning of years of championship golf that has taken the stage on the Robert Trent Jones Sr. design. Prestigious events like the LPGA's Women's Kemper Open and the Champions Tour's Kaanapali Classic had long runs at this famed layout. And now, the popular Wendy's Champions Skins Game arrives here in February when viewers around the world will get a rare glimpse of both Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus in competitive action again. Obviously with this wide variety of championship tournaments you can see just how versatile the Royal Ka'anapali Golf Course is. And for 51 weeks of the year it provides a wonderful resort golf experience. Coming off a major renovation two years ago the golf course has been restored to its original luster. As you would expect from Robert Trent Jones Sr. the bunkering here is classic and the greens are large with plenty of slopes. Ka'anapali's second course, the Ka'anapali Kai is another excellent resort course that complements the Royal Ka'anapali Course very well. Architect Robin Nelson has put some great personal touches on a variety of features, particularly the bunkers. The Kai Course is very user friendly as it is not overly long, the fairways are quite generous, and the green complexes inviting. And just like its sister course the Kai has historical significance including the site of the famous battle among two ruling chiefs back in the 1700s. Your time on the Ka'anapali Golf Courses will be both enjoyable and memorable. From the feeling of being able to touch history through some of Ka'anapali's golf programs to testing your game on a variety of quality holes to simply gazing at the magnificent vistas. The Ka'anapali Golf Resort is one you don't want to miss. |
