Puakea GC- hole 3
Puakea Golf Club is a public access golf course in Lihue on the Hawaiian island of Kauai.
The course was originally built as a 9 hole facility on an old sugar cane plantation just 2 miles from Lihue airport.
In 2003 the course re opened after a major makeover from noted architect Robin Nelson. Nelson made full use of the terrain to craft an entertaining 18 holes of golf.
After a quite opening few holes through a housing estate the course heads into tropical jungle with significant elevation changes and water hazards featuring- and all with a magnificent mountain backdrop.
It is quite a dramatic course from hole 6 onward...
Notable holes include:
- hole 6, a par 3 featuring a long drop to a green set in a gully, with water protecting the front of the green, and wonderful mountain backdrop
