Golf Overview
High above the roiling surf that crashes into the cliffs of Hulopoe Bay, the magnificent Challenge at Manele beckons golfers from around the world. With its dramatic terrain of plunging gorges and verdant ravines, The Challenge offers a thrilling target-style game amid miles of unspoiled natural surroundings. Every hole offers sweeping ocean views, and several require precision shots from cliff to cliff – using the Pacific itself as a water hazard. Designed by the legendary Jack Nicklaus, The Challenge is a course you will rightly anticipate, and will celebrate long after your round has ended.
