About Kiahuna Golf Course

Kiahuna Golf Course, also known as Kiahuna Golf Club, is an 18-hole, par-70 championship golf course located in Poipu on the beautiful South Shore of Kauai, Hawaii. Designed by renowned architect Robert Trent Jones Jr., the course opened in 1984 and measures 6,925 yards from the championship tees.

Surrounded by the lush tropical beauty of Kauai, Kiahuna Golf Club offers an exceptional combination of championship resort golf, Hawaiian history, and scenic island landscapes.

One of the course's most distinctive features is its incorporation of ancient Hawaiian archaeological sites into the golf course design.

Robert Trent Jones Jr. carefully incorporated remnants of an authentic Hawaiian village, including historic stone structures and lava rock formations, creating a unique golf experience that reflects Kauai's cultural heritage.

Golfers encounter gently rolling fairways, strategically positioned bunkers, natural water features, and challenging greens that reward accuracy and thoughtful course management.

The course also features picturesque mountain scenery, tropical vegetation, and refreshing ocean breezes.

Kiahuna is also known for its native Hawaiian birdlife. Golfers may encounter the Hawaiian nene goose, Hawaii's state bird, along with other native waterbirds near the course's ponds and waterways.

The scenic Waikomo Stream meanders through portions of the property, adding both natural beauty and strategic interest to the layout.

One of the course's most memorable holes is the finishing 18th, providing an enjoyable conclusion to a round at this distinctive South Shore golf destination.

With multiple tee positions, Kiahuna offers an enjoyable round for golfers of varying abilities, while its bunkers, water hazards, and narrow landing areas offer plenty of challenge for experienced players.

The facility also offers a driving range, practice putting green, golf shop, rental clubs, and on-site dining at Paco's Tacos Cantina.

Conveniently located near Poipu's resorts, beaches, and vacation accommodations, Kiahuna Golf Club is an excellent choice for golfers looking to experience the natural beauty and history of Kauai.
