Golf: Kauai's most affordable 18-hole golf course is less than 5 miles away. Wailua Municipal Golf Course is regularly rated as one of the top public or municipal courses in the United States. A tribute to that ranking is the fact that three men's U.S.G.A. Amateur Public Links Amateur Golf Championships were held there - in 1975,1985 and 1996. The beautiful par-72 Wailua course measures a formidable 6,631 yards from the regular tee boxes, with many of the tee shots going into strong trade winds from the nearby Pacific Ocean. Within a 20 minute drive is the Kauai Lagoons Kiele golf course .In 1998, it was named by Golf Magazine to its elite list of Gold Medal golf resorts. The Kiele course has the most ocean holes than any other golf course in Hawaii.

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.
