Mauna Lani Resort Golf on the Kohala Coast, Hawaii
Golf magazine selected Mauna Lani as one of only ten golf resorts in the country for its first-ever Green Golf Award in 2008 for the resort’s golf environmental stewardship program. Mauna Lani Resort's two championship golf courses, the Francis H. I'i Brown North and South, offer a challenging experience to novice and professional golf enthusiasts alike. The recipient of Golf magazine's Gold Medal Award as one of America's Best Golf Resorts every year since the inception of the award in 1988 and host to the nationally televised Senior Skins Golf Game for 11 years, Mauna Lani's courses have earned a prestigious reputation among the world's golfing meccas. Both courses are masterpieces of design, each strikingly different, yet equally challenging. Each course is a world apart geographically, and in playing experience. Mauna Lani Resort's spectacular Hawaii golf courses stand as a fine testament to what environmentally-sensitive golf course architecture can achieve. Nelson-Wright-Haworth ensured the thoughtful preservation of the numerous archeological sites through the courses -- the trails, the fishponds, and the rock carvings (petroglyphs) of ancient Hawaiians.
