Kauaʻi - The Garden Isle's Emerald Fairways
If there is a place where golf feels most like a walk through paradise, it is Kauaʻi. This is the Garden Isle, where emerald fairways are set against the dramatic, pleated cliffs of ancient mountains and stunning turquoise seascapes.
The air here is thick with the scent of plumeria and ginger, and the scenery is often so breathtakingly beautiful it can be a genuine challenge to focus on your swing.
