Manele sprawls across ancient lava fields

Lanai is home to two world class golf courses. The Challenge at Manele spans 7,039-yards across ancient lava fields along the rugged breath-stealing coastline. This 18-hole, par-72 championship course designed by Jack Nicklaus, offers 180-degrees of distraction at every hole. Just a few miles away is one of the last true unspoiled courses in Hawaii: the Experience at Koele. Greg Norman collaborated with Mother Nature to create this 18-hole, par-72 course garnished with eucalyptus, pine, and kiawe trees, cascading waterfalls, and dramatic green valleys and vistas. It's no wonder both courses have received so many awards throughout the year."

Carved out of the rugged coast, the Challenge at Manele sprawls across ancient lava fields, with 180-degree ocean panoramas from every hole. A theater of color unfolds: red cliffs plunging down to blue sea, green fairways engulfing white sandtraps, and blossoms from fissures in the black lava rock. This was the palette of designer Jack Nicklaus, who shaped the 7,039–yard, par 72 championship course, carefully protecting and preserving the archaeological ruins within its borders.

Teeing off from the cliffs at Hulopoe Bay with the Pacific surging below, you face perhaps the world's most unforgiving water hazard. The twelfth hole is nothing short of a leap of faith, with 200 yards of churning waves to cross.

Other holes demand shots over yawning ravines. Fortunately, the five-tee concept - with courses of shorter yardage mapped in red, white, blue, gold and "Nicklaus" - allows golfers of all levels to emerge unscathed.
