Located in the back of beautiful Maunawili Valley on the windward side of O'ahu,
Luana Hills Country Club is the first course in Hawai'i designed by Perry Dye
and his famous brother, Pete-one of the most accomplished golf architects in
America. Luana Hills measures just 6,595 yards from the back tees, but its
relatively modest length belies the challenge that lies ahead. The Dye brothers
made sure to incorporate many of their trademark design features, including a
variety of forced carries off the tee, bunkers bordered by railroad ties,
par-3's over water to island greens, and fairways that fall off steeply into
bunkers and ravines. Luana Hills is set in awesome natural surroundings beneath
the deep green folds of the Ko'olau Mountains. The front nine plays across the
lower slopes of Mount Olomana, while the back nine wends its way through a
tropical rainforest with dramatic changes in elevation. Local residents refer to
it as "Jurassic Park" because there are few signs of civilization, only the
surrounding forest and the mountain peaks overhead. |
