The Plantation Course at Kapalua, majestically positioned on the slopes of West Maui Mountains, is a crown jewel among the world's golf courses. Known for hosting the PGA Tour's Sentry Tournament of Champions, this course is a true test of skill and strategy, designed by the renowned Coore & Crenshaw team.

The Plantation Course is a par-73, stretching over 7,596 yards, known for its dramatic elevation changes and wide, inviting fairways that dare golfers to take bold shots. The layout leverages Maui’s coastal winds to present a unique challenge, where the wind can be as much an ally as it is an obstacle, influencing every shot profoundly.

Signature holes are plentiful, but the 18th stands out—a breathtaking, downhill par-5 that offers golfers a view of the ocean from the tee box and requires a strategic play to reach the green in regulation.
