"I played twice and people in my group played several times. They all said it rivals Pebble Beach. The only distraction is the during whale season it's difficult to focus on golf when whales are frolicking in the sea beneath you." - Gwenna | Dallas, TX

The Challenge at Manele
The Challenge at Manele is a visually stunning golf course that is painted a rainbow of colors from black lava outcroppings to red cliffs that tumble towards the blue sea to the pristine white sand traps that dot the lush green coastline. The course plays high above the crashing waves of Hulopoe Bay, featuring three holes that play along 200-foot cliffs with the Pacific Ocean as a hazard. This Jack Nicklaus-designed course has a target-style layout that forces golfers to remain sharp and slice-free. The golf course has an interesting variety of short par 4s, testing par 5s, and a total of nine doglegs. Thanks to its seaside location, the course's routing is dictated by the prevailing winds. The Challenge at Manele's signature hole is the 12th, notoriously known for the demanding carry it requires across 200 yards of churning waves.
