Like the rest of Princeville at Hanalei, the Prince Golf Course enjoys magnificent views from 300 feet above the Pacific Ocean. It's not the scenery that earned the Prince Course Golf Digest's rating as "Hawaii's No. 1 Golf Course," it's the incredible design Robert Trent Jones, Jr. created to turn rolling terrain into a links-style Golf Course that will challenge you like no other.

    Tough as nails but lots of different kinds of shots to be played and pretty as can be so you can keep your eyes off the scorecard...

    Challenging from the first hole. Use the advice in the yardage book. Don't need to be a long hitter...just acurate. You will need all 14 clubs.

    Enjoyed the experience and the views. Suggest if you miss a shot, hit another. Remember the second.

    Course doesn't shy away from being one of Hawaii's toughest, especially some of the holes on the back nine that are cut through thick bush. Some pretty holes, like no. 5 and 6, but be prepared to take a few high numbers. You'll probably want to play this course a second time around to gain a little dignity back.
