The South Course is built on the 16th century Kaniku lava flow, a relatively young flow that produced a stark, rugged lava called a'a. The layout presents a terrific challenge and on several occasions takes you right out to the sea. Here on the South you will face two breathtaking par 3's. The 7th can be stretched to well over 200 yards but does play downhill. Once you've reached the green here your work has just begun because this putting surface is massive and features three distinct tiers. The back sides 15th is one of the most photographed golf holes in the world. This tee shot is not as difficult as the one at the 7th but is equally as pleasurable. Take your time here and savor the experience.
