The Course
![Manele Golf Course green on edge of cliff overlooking ocean]()
Manele Golf CourseBuilt on lava outcroppings, our Jack Nicklaus-signature course features three holes perched on cliffs, enlisting the Pacific Ocean as a water hazard. The five-tee concept challenges the best golfers – tee shots over natural gorges and ravines must be precise – and novice players will enjoy practicing their swing amid spectacular vistas. Course access is exclusively available to Resort guests.
