Best
Golf in Hawaii
Hawaii is a golfer's
paradise. The wonderful climate means
year-round play, the sumptuous resorts
mean well-maintained courses, and the
natural beauty of the place often lead to
awe-inspiring rounds. In addition,
because so many visitors to Hawaii are on
vacation, there is usually plenty of time
for relaxing and enjoying the pleasure of
the game.
With all the choices that
Hawaii offers golfers, where should you
play? Well,
there are lots of recommendations.
For
example, every year, the editors at Travel +
Leisure Golf survey their
readers about their favorite courses and
resorts. Last year's survey
results are in. Not surprisingly,
some of our favorite places to play made
their list:

ocean views) for only about $20.
