Golf in Kaneohe Base

Kaneohe Base is the location of Marine Corps Base Hawaii on the Mokapu Peninsula in Kaneohe Bay, an installation that occupies a peninsula of extraordinary natural beauty where the bay, the Ko'olau mountains, and the Pacific Ocean create a setting unlike any other military base in the United States. The Klipper Golf Course serves the Marine Corps community at an installation where the scenic environment is matched by the strategic importance of one of the key Marine Corps forward bases in the Pacific. The base's historical role—including the Japanese attack on December 7, 1941 that targeted the naval air station at Kaneohe before moving to Pearl Harbor—gives it a significance in American military history that the present-day recreational facilities serve.
