The Royal Ka'anapali Course opened its lush fairways in 1962 and is one of only
two courses in all of Hawaii designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. The architect
took advantage of the rolling landscape to create gently sloping fairways and
large contoured greens to ensure a challenging approach to each hole. The Royal
Ka'anapali Course begins at sea level with a par 5 hole extending 550 yards. The
course hugs the shoreline before winding its way to the West Maui Mountain
foothills. Arnold Palmer called the 18th hole (par 4) one of the best and most
challenging finishing holes he had ever played. The 449 yard hole plays longer
than it looks, hugging the brackish water canal the entire length of the fairway
and green, making it a memorable last hole.

Ka'anapali Kai Course was originally created as an executive course and was
later redesigned by architect Arthur Jack Snyder. At 6,400 yards, the Par 70
course is a more forgiving golf course with subtle, undulating greens that
accommodates all levels of play. Along many holes on the Kai Course lie natural
canals, gulches and lava rock boundaries. The course is landscaped with native
flowers along the trails like the hibiscus, bougainvillea and plumeria, as well
as the Norfolk Pines and coconut trees that border many fairways. These features
are part of what makes the course most enjoyable.
