I used to wonder why people would fly for 12 hours from the east coast of the U.S. to get to Hawaii when there are so many islands that are closer and easier to get to. Then, I was convinced to try it and spent a week on Maui. Boy did I feel silly! All it takes to justify the long trip is one sunset on the beach on Maui. It really is one of the most beautiful spots in the world and there’s a lot to do besides golf, but golf is why we’re here, so let’s get to it.

The Royal Kaanapali is a public course but I guarantee that you’ll feel very special when you walk out there and start your round. The setting and the scenery are spectacular, so be sure to stay focused on your game. We’re playing the North Course today and it is a beauty. It’s laid out along the coastline so you can see the ocean from almost anywhere on the course and the Par 5 fifth hole takes you right down to the beach.
