Nanea Golf Club
About the club
In the early 1960s, Robert Trent Jones built the first course on Hawaii’s Big Island for a very wealthy owner (Laurance Rockefeller), grinding up the site’s volcanic rock to use as “sand” on which to grow grass. Forty years later and just 22 miles away, architect David McLay Kidd also built a course on volcanic rock for very wealthy owners (Charles Schwab and George Roberts), but rather than transform the lava topography, he routed his holes among the black outcroppings and through the site’s meadows of native grasses. Located on a high, exposed plateau beneath Mt. Hualalai, the holes ramble and roll into topsy-turvy greens, each with a sterling view of the Pacific Ocean three and a half miles in the distance.

What a spectacular property. Views are awesome! Food as good as the views! What a golf course! Caddie Leland was the best.

Exquisite and Uber private course. Must be a friend of a member, or a member of an equivocal club on one of the other islands. We got on through our head pro in Oahu. Course is very fair with an opportunity to be able to score well if you’re playing well. Clubhouse is a masterpiece and we designed after the volcanic activity. The course is completely indigenous to the area or I should say is complementary to the area it’s all nature. Greens were the best I’ve ever played. If you were able to get on you must play with a caddy it’s required. Bonus at the end for women great shopping opportunity to get clothes with the Nanea logo And all the clothes are very reasonably priced. Of course this is a woman’s perspective!

I’ve played some of the worlds best, and this is a level up from even the pebble beach’s and spyglasses in my opinion. The conditioning of the course is very similar to Augusta National. Not a blade out of place. It’s spectacular to play every hole.
