Carved out of a magnificent tropical forest, Ko'olau Golf Club is one of the most inspiring golf experiences you will play - anywhere in the world. Ko'olau is nestled below Oahu's historic and popular Pali Lookout. Ko'olau offers breathtaking views of the majestic 2,000-foot-high cliffs of the Ko'olau Mountain Range, cascading waterfalls and commanding views of the Pacific Ocean and the beautiful windward side of Oahu. Ko'olau Golf Course, rated in Golf Magazine's "Top 100 Courses to Play" and named the "#1 Golf Course on Oahu" by Golf Digest, is among the top -- and toughest -- US golf courses. Nicknamed "The World's Most Challenging Golf Course," the 200+ acre course was carved out of 1,500 acres of jungle in 1991 as a private country club for high rollers. Due to its gargantuan scale and tropical terrain, freelance golf writer Tom Haynes describes Ko'olau as "monster jungle golf" (Golf Courses of Hawaii). Located just a 20-minute drive over the Pali Highway from downtown Honolulu, you can't beat this golf course for beautiful Hawaii golf. It has breathtaking mountain views, spectacular fairways surrounded by rainforest, and dramatic sights of the Pacific Ocean. Locals talk constantly about how tough this course is. The rule of thumb is to bring the same number of balls as your handicap. The 18th hole has two carries over a giant jungle ravine--both the drive and the approach shot.

A. - So you don't have to spend your valuable vacation time planning your vacation. Plus when you look back on your Hawaii vacation, you probably won't remember much about the flight, the hotel room, or the rental car. Those things are important, of course, but what you really remember is what you did on your Hawaii vacation -- the tours, the activities, the attractions, the sights... And that's what we do for you -- pre-book the things you do on your Hawaii vacation. Remember, popular tours sell out well in advance in Hawaii. After all, you're visiting islands, so space is limited. So, pre-book and you won't be disappointed by unavailability or scheduling conflicts. When you pre-book, you can do so without the last minute stress of planning your vacation while you're on vacation and you can lock-in your prices early.
