About Mauna Lani South Course
Mauna Lani South Course is an 18-hole, par-72 championship golf course on Hawaii Island's Kohala Coast. Stretching 6,938 yards from the championship tees, the course winds through ancient volcanic lava flows and offers expansive views of the Pacific Ocean and surrounding mountains.
The South Course is especially famous for its oceanfront par-3 15th hole, one of the most photographed golf holes in Hawaii. This dramatic hole plays over a coastal inlet and is a highlight of golf on the Big Island.
Formerly home to the Senior Skins Game, Mauna Lani South combines challenging golf with spectacular scenery. Natural lava rock borders, ocean breezes, and carefully positioned hazards make accuracy and course management important throughout the round.
During winter months, golfers may even spot migrating humpback whales offshore. Mauna Lani South is an outstanding choice for golfers seeking an oceanfront golf experience on the Big Island of Hawaii.
