The United States of America is a 'golf' superpower.
The USA hosts some of the most famous golfing events in the world - The Masters, PGA Championship, US Open, Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass, Tournament of Champions (Hawaii), The Memorial Tournament, Fed Ex Cup Tour Championship and more ...
Although golf evolved in Scotland the game was embraced by the Americans to the extent that approximately 43% of all golf courses in the world call the USA home.
The USA is so big (where golf is concerned) we have split it up into the East Coast, West Coast, Central and Hawaii.
Golf in Hawaii
Hawaii is anarchipelgo of 137 volcanic islands located in the Pacific ocean. But where golf is concerned, Hawaii is made up of five islands with fabulous courses: O'ahu, Maui, The Big Island, Lanai and Kaua'i.
O'ahu
O'ahu is generally where you start your Hawaii trip, with a visit to Honolulu and a stay in a hotel overlooking Waikiki Beach. Apart from shopping, surfing and a hike to Diamond Head, there are some great courses to play including the Jurassic Park of Golf - Royal Hawaiian GC, Turtle Bay and Ko Olina.
Maui
Maui is famous for its golden beaches and natural beauty. It should also be famous for its golf courses - the majestic Kapalua Plantation Course is home to the Tournament of Champions and Wailea Resort has 3 absolutely beautiful courses, plus there are many other seaside courses worth a play.

The Big Island
This island is home to Hawai'i Volcanoes NP and the world's most active volcano Kilauea. Not surprisingly, lava is a prominent feature of the golf courses here. Play courses where lava rock meets the ocean in the most stunning way.
Kaua'i
Kaua'i is also known as the 'Garden Island'. It features stunning natural landmarks such as the Napali Coast and Waimea Canyon - and some beautiful courses along the coast. A personal favourite of the Travelling Golfer, this island should be called Paradise.
Lana'i
Lana'i is a small island that is a short boat ride from Maui. A quiet and peaceful day trip destination - but importantly It has one great golf course.
