Ko Olina Golf Resorts (Oahu)

I love the Ko Olina Golf Club for the same reasons the LPGA Tour does.
The manmade waterfalls of Ko Olina look great on TV and even better in person. And Ko Olina won't beat you up like most PGA Tour venues. There's just enough challenge to keep things interesting. When the trade winds blow, it's a real chore to score.
The LOTTE Championship is the third LPGA Tour event at Ko Olina since the 6,815-yard course opened in 1990. Beth Daniel won the 1990 Hawaiian Ladies Open, the first of six Hawaiian Ladies Opens held on the Ted Robinson design. The Fields Open had a three-year run that began in 2006, highlighted by Paula Creamer's 2008 victory. Going way back, Chi Chi Rodriguez won the 1992 Ko Olina Senior PGA Invitational.
The waterfalls on the par-3s at No. 8 and No. 12 are scenic but always daunting. The final water hazard left of the 18th green has helped decide a tournament or two.
Ko Olina translates in Hawaiian to mean "place of joy." This place delivers.

C;mon guys....You're in Hawaii, you're on a PRISTINE course, how bad can life be? If the wind isn't blowing this course is GREAT for the 7-15 HC golfer. It's challenging and quite fun, greens hold and can be tough to read at times because of the terrain/ocean draw. Good "bang for the buck".
