Playing Golf in Heaven. In 1999, Golf Digest named Hawaii "The Best State for Golf." Nothing has changed since.

Start with the weather. In Hawaii there truly is only one season - and it's the perfect season for golf. Next, the terrain. Indescribable settings. Epic views. Rich volcanic soil. Incredible variety. For golf course designers, it's almost as if all six Hawaiian islands were created just for the glorification of the sport. No wonder the finest Jack Nicklaus, Robert Trent Jones Jr., Ben Crenshaw, Arnold Palmer, and Greg Norman to leave their indelible mark on our state.

The result? We have eighty incomparable championship courses, with 1500 magnificent holes. But beware - one of the biggest challenges is maintaining concentration on your shot, what with snow-capped volcanoes, glistening beaches, alpine forests graced with silver streams, and dolphins leaping from thundering azure surf to draw your gaze. Talk about a handicap.

Hawaii has always been a favorite of the PGA TOUR and SENIOR PGA TOUR and now the PGA TOUR and Hawaii have established the ALOHA SEASON with events that kick off the TOUR schedule and features 6 major televised golf tournaments held here throughout the year.
