Puakea Golf Course began life as a 10 hole course thanks to Hurricane Iniki However the course was expanded to a full 18 holes in July of 2003 and completed by architect Robin Nelson Although not directly on the ocean like many Hawaiian courses Puakea plays through spectacular mountainous terrain and around the deep ravines and streams characteristic of Kauai Island Each hole is dramatic from the rolling fairways and impressive elevation changes to the large challenging greens guarded by menacing bunkers Island flora and fauna abound throughout the course and give a sense that Puakea Golf Course is in harmony with nature The course plays from 5,225 to 6,954 yards and there are four sets of tees to satisfy all comers For additional information call the pro shop toll free at 866 773 5544 or visit the club online at www puakeagolf com
