Ocean Course Hokuala is Kauai most ambitious and scenic golf experience, a Jack Nicklaus Signature design that stretches along more than three miles of dramatic Kauai coastline near Lihue. The course features an extraordinary 10 holes directly adjacent to the Pacific Ocean, with waves crashing against lava shelves just steps from several tee boxes and fairways. Ancient Hawaiian fishponds, sea caves, and tide pools border the layout, integrating Hawaii natural and cultural heritage into an already spectacular playing field. The course demands strategic thinking and controlled shot-making as ocean winds shift throughout the round. Hokuala is consistently ranked among the best golf courses in Hawaii and offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience for golfers who appreciate where scenery meets championship design. Green fees are among Kauai highest but the experience justifies the investment.
Ocean Course Hokuala opened in 2003, designed by Jack Nicklaus as the centerpiece of the Kauai Lagoons Resort development near Lihue. The course was originally named Kauai Lagoons Golf Club and later renamed Hokuala as the resort rebranded. Nicklaus considered the coastal routing one of his most dramatic design opportunities in Hawaii. The course has been consistently recognized as one of the premier golf experiences in the state.
