Golf in Kapalua

Kapalua is a resort community on the northwestern coast of Maui, at the end of the highway that runs through the pineapple plantation lands of Maui's north shore, where the Kapalua Resort has developed two championship golf courses amid a landscape of coastal cliffs, tropical vegetation, and the plantation-era fields that give the area its name—kapalua means 'arms embracing the sea.' The Plantation Course at Kapalua hosts the PGA Tour's Sentry Tournament of Champions, the opening event of the professional season each year, bringing the world's top players to a course that has become one of the most recognized in professional golf. The Bay Course provides a more accessible companion layout for resort guests who want the Kapalua experience.
