2013 HOAKALEI COUNTRY CLUB
EWA BEACH, HAWAII  96706

Was lucky to golf at Hoakalei today with a fun group of guys.   This is a beautiful course with lots of water and sand traps. I lost a bunch of balls here but had a terrific time.  The Club has a temporary clubhouse and pro shop with a small kitchen.  This Ernie Els signature design forms part of the prestigious new world-class Hoakalei Country Club that is being built next to beautiful Ocean Pointe, Ewa Beach, about 20 minutes from Honolulu. It is O‘ahu’s only resort-based country club.  Hoakalei was officially opened for play by Ernie Els on 12 January 2009 and was voted one of the best new golf courses of the year by the prestigious Links magazine in the US. This spectacular golf course truly reflects the scenic splendour of O’ahu, featuring beautifully landscaped and manicured conditions with hundreds of Palm, Kiawe and Hala trees, all framed with native grasslands.  The course blends in beautifully with a 248-acre plot which follows the natural landscape to the Ewa coastline, offering expansive vistas of the cherished Ewa plains and the legendary surf bathed in sunshine.

UPDATE: 3/9/13

Have been playing Hoakalei often and absolutely love this course.  Probably one of the best on Oahu.  They have reconfigured so almost all the holes have water in play.  The course is also filled with bunkers that seem to always consume my balls.  Just a great course if you can get on with a member.  I highly recommend that you eat here too.  While there is no formal Clubhouse, the tables out back are home to one of the best golf course chefs in Hawaii.  The food is amazing.  The Mahi Hoagie ($10.50) is one of the best Mahi Mahi Sandwiches I have ever tasted.  The bread was toasted to perfection and the Mahi was topped with cole slaw.  My friends loved the Hamburger Steak ($11.50).  This is a big dish filled with Hamburger Steak, Local Hamakua Mushrooms, sauteed onions and gravy.  Served with rice and grilled asparagus.  My buddy was raving about this dish and loves it.
