Prince Golf Course at Princeville: GOLF COURSE WAS CLOSED IN 2015 for a major renovation As of Jan 2024 it remains closed. Some online reports suggest that after renovation, the Prince course could reopen as a private members-only facility.

The renovated Princeville Makai course has currently taken over the mantle as the "must play" course at Princeville.

[Original Where2Golf description]: The Princeville Resort is home to two 18-hole championship golf courses, the highly-ranked Prince course and the also well-rated and popular Makai course. The Prince course is one of the top-rated and finest championship layouts in the Hawaiian Islands, frequently regarded as THE best.

The excellent tree-lined and open parkland course contains a wealth of wonderfully crafted, memorable and challenging holes. Definitely a course that will challenge your all-round game, and well worth going out of your way to play.
