It is no surprise that Mauna Lani has been recognized for its environmental protection. It is well known that through a succession of “enlightened stewardship” this destination always realized the importance of preserving the natural sites, culture and history of Mauna Lani.
Located atop an expansive lava flow along three miles of the Kohala Coast the Mauna Lani Resort has all you need to rest, rejuvenate and immerse yourself in true Hawaii. The world-renowned Mauna Lani Bay Hotel & Bungalows offers luxurious ocean view guest rooms that are elegant and cater to the high tech traveler. As a guest of the bungalows at Mauna Lani Bay, just steps from the golf course and the beach, you will enjoy the utmost privacy, set amidst lush gardens and blue lagoons. Here is an exclusive enclave of 5 spacious bungalows each with two master bedrooms, dining room, lanai and a dedicated staff to cater to your every whim.
Ranked among the worlds best the Mauna Lani Spa continues the resort’s theme of cultural heritage by offering a unique spa setting reminiscent of a Hawaiian village with indoor and outdoor hales and treatment rooms. The spa treatments are based on Hawaiian healing methods that will renew and invigorate your mind and body.
Mauna Lani’s two golf courses are legendary for stunning views and great holes. And now Mauna Lani golf is being recognized for their commitment to the environment. Recently Golf Magazine came out with a new award; its Green Golf Award which recognizes resorts for environmentally sound practices in golf. Mauna Lani is one of only 10 resorts in the United States to receive this Honor. Here are some of the reasons why… The golf irrigation system uses 3 million gallons of brackish water per day to water the golf courses. And Mauna Lani uses solar power to generate electricity for a majority of the golf operations. The golf courses are also planted with the drought-resistant seashore paspalum grass.
Mauna Lani’s original golf course opened back in 1981 to rave reviews. In 1991 the course was halved and architect Robin Nelson added two more nine-hole layouts, thus creating the North and South Courses. The two courses are both superb and are surprisingly different in both style and character.
While the South Course is probably more famous because of the national TV exposure from over a decade of hosting the Senior Skins Game, the North Course is actually a more difficult test. As the course winds its way out to the sea and back toward the mountains you will be treated to phenomenal views and quality golf holes. The bunkering is exquisite and visually you will immediately notice a spectacular contrast between the green grass, the stark black lava, the white sand and the mighty blue Pacific.
The South Course at Mauna Lani was the home of the popular Senior Skins Game during the entire decade of the 1990’s. During that time the legends of the game treated millions of viewers worldwide to brilliant shot making and breathtaking warm weather vistas in the dead of winter. The South Course epitomizes oceanfront golf in Hawaii at its best and the one thing that you’ll quickly discover here is that keeping your concentration can at times be difficult.
The total resort experience here at Mauna Lani is unforgettable.
