Overlooking the gateway to the island of Kauai in Hawaii. The Kauai Lagoons resort exudes a romantic tropical ambiance with hints of European grandeur – a combination so alluring that in 1998, it was named by Golf Magazine to its elite list of Gold Medal golf resorts.

It is said that when legendary golfer and architect Jack Nicklaus created the Kiele Course at Kauai Lagoons, the terrain lent itself so well to his vision that he made but a single change to his original design. Little wonder that this incredible par 72 resort course — one of two award-winning Nicklaus layouts at Kauai Lagoons — continues to receive accolade after accolade for being one of the finest golf gems in the Pacific.

Once there, players will discover that the Maile/Kiele Course has a sense of style uniquely its own. Fairways weave among some forty acres of fresh water lagoons that wind their way throughout the resort. Lush groves of exotic foliage thrive amongst the holes.
