Golf

Lanai's only golf course, located at the Four Seasons Resort Lanai, is one of the loveliest golf courses in the world—and one of the most challenging.

Manele Golf Course. Designed by Jack Nicklaus in 1993, this course sits right over the water of Hulopoe Bay. Built on lava outcroppings, it features three holes on cliffs that use 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. Unspoiled natural terrain provides a stunning backdrop, and every hole offers ocean views. Early-morning tee times are recommended to avoid the midday heat. Another reason to start early: Morning golfers can enjoy a complimentary continental breakfast at Views.
