Susan Choi chasing her long-shot LPGA dreams on The Golf Channel's Big Break Kaanapali
Susan Choi's refreshingly joyful golf attitude is featured prominently in Big Break Kaanapali. In a golf world of cold-hearted killer stares, Choi jumps up and down after good shots, smiles like you don't get charged for every grin, just genuinely seems happy to be playing. The only amateur among this season's contestants, the 23-year-old Choi took anything but the typical phenom track to Kaanapali.
Kauai, Hawaii golf trip and travel Frequently Asked Questions
Planning a Hawaii golf vacation? Let TravelGolf.com's set of answers to frequently asked questions guide you through courses, island, airport and transportation information for the island of Kauai.
Kauai: Hawaii's "Garden Isle" is an Eden of island golf and resorts
For having only nine golf courses, Kauai greatly overachieves in quality; its top courses can hold their own with any on the Hawaiian Islands. A bonus: it's so small you can see each of Kauai's courses on one trip, Brandon Tucker writes. And that's a good thing, because no single course is a supreme favorite here. Each member of your group may come home with his or her own darling.
What you don't see on TV: Mercedes-Benz Championship host Kapalua is a self-contained Hawaiian luxury land for golfers
It's easy to see why the PGA Tour players who do come back to Kapalua every year swear by it. For a practice-only self taskmaster like Vijay Singh, it's perfect. You really do never have to leave this little luxury zone to want for anything.
Kapalua Resort, Wailea and more: Maui's top beach/golf combos are a sandy surf lover's best friend
It doesn't matter how crazed you are about chasing that little white ball around the fairways, how determined you are to squeeze in as much Hawaii golf as possible, you're going to have to factor in beach time when you visit Maui.
Kauai golf courses give travelers a win-win Hawaiian vacation
For many around the globe, Hawaii sits as a beacon of golf vacation possibilities. Rich, tropical beaches combine with a visitor-friendly culture and more activities on and off the golf course than you could ever consider cramming into one trip. But while Hawaii's golf scene is vast, for golf travelers looking to get the most golf out of their Hawaiian vacation, the island of choice is often Kauai.
The PGA, LPGA and Champions tours can't get enough of Hawaiian golf
If there's anything that gives a good idea of how good golf is in Hawaii, it's that the PGA Tour dedicates an entire section of its schedule to the 50th state, showcasing top golfers in a great destination, and the LPGA and Champions tours also take time to take island divots.
Maui is Hawaii's premier golf and travel destination
More than nearly any other major golf destination, Hawaii has the reputation of a chameleon. From the bustling Big Island to smaller isles like Lanai and Molokai, golf travelers can have the energy of a big-time tourist town, the laid-back, unfettered beaches of hidden island gems, and all delights in between.
Golf on Molokai: Experience Hawaii at its most scenic
If there is one thing you can say about traveling golfers, it's this: If there's golf to be played somewhere, they'll find it. Such is the case with the Hawaiian island of Molokai.
Lanai golf in Hawaii: Quality, not quantity, rules here
While little Lanai is often overlooked as a Hawaiian golf destination. Hawaii's smallest island might not have many golf courses, but the sheer quality of world-clas runs like the Challenge at Manele and the Experience at Koele more than compensates.
