Kapalua, a difficult course, certainly, but very visual and admirably designed, the Plantation Course is one of the most beautiful golf courses on the planet where all the winners of the PGA Tour will meet, at the start of the season, to compete in the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, first tournament of the PGA Tour season.

As for landscapes and idyllic surroundings, everything is there to make you live a great moment of happiness ... the view of the island of Molokai, the colonial clubhouse, the turquoise reflections of the Pacific, the foam of the waves bursting on the coast. We could be more unhappy.

For the record, the 18 is the longest par 5 of the PGA Tour, with a maximum length of 663 yards! So above all, start with the departure marks adapted to your game to make the most of this splendid Plantation, to be consumed without moderation!
