Your Canvas Awaits

The most desireable private oceanside golf community in the world.

The overall community of Hokuli’a consists of 1,300 acres, spanning two and a half miles along the gorgeous Kona Coast of the Island of Hawai’i, minutes from the coastal town of Kailua-Kona.

Hokuli’a occupies the seaward portion of what were once 11 ahupua’a (traditional Hawai'ian land divisions) on either side of the boundary between the present day districts of North and South Kona. Archaeology studies of the area have suggested four distinct eras of historical settlement at Hokuli’a stretching back as far as A.D. 1250.

The Ancestral Home of Ancient Hawaiian Royalty

Because of the spiritual, ecological and sustainable resources, including gentle climate, fresh water, fishing, hunting, shoreline and agriculture, the Ali'i (Royalty) made this property home.

Hokuli'a is a unique treasure of significant Hawaiian archaeological and cultural resources.

In the heart of the world-famous Kona coffee region

Local organic farms abound

Local farms feature an assortment of fresh produce, some of which are grown onsite then offered as 'farm to fork' fare for Hokuli'a member clubhouse dining.

Tradition on the big island

Today, Hokuli’a sits in the heart of the traditional Hawai'i, surrounded by vibrant farming communities, historical sites (Captain Cook landed just around the corner at Kealakakua Bay discovering Hawai'i in 1778), and cultural landmarks.

Poke shacks and cafes dot the high road from Kailua-Kona to Kealakekua offering tasty locally grown (or caught) food, stunning views and a chance to tune into “the coconut wireless” with the locals. Coffee tasting shacks offer the chance to taste the area’s local coffee varietal.

Kailua-Kona itself is 15 minutes away offering a wealth of shopping and dining experiences, yet a totally different energy to the tourist towns and resorts.

Hokuli’a offers the experience of real Hawai'i where members and visitors can learn what it means to live like a local in Hawai'i, a place where visitors and locals meet in the street, the grocery store or at a café, a place where the ‘Spirit of Aloha’ flourishes.

An Exclusive Community

The Club at Hokuli’a is one of the finest oceanside clubs in the world. The sheltered climate provides gentle coastal breezes, ideal year round conditions for outdoor living, golf and water pursuits, free of the strong winds that oftentimes affect golf in many other areas of Hawai'i.

The Club facilities and amenities are surrounded by beautifully-manicured tropical landscaped grounds, and features an expansive event lawn area with endless ocean views for entertaining and special member events.

The spa / massage facility includes a wonderful open-air yoga studio where members can relax and rejuvenate following a round of golf or rigorous workout.

Jack Nicklaus Signature Design

“There is no other property as well-suited for golf in all the Hawai'ian Islands. Beautiful natural land. Dramatic ocean vistas. Warm, dry, year round weather. And no wind - only soft ocean breezes.”
-Jack Nicklaus

The Club at Hokuli’a’s Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, the only private, oceanside golf course on the island ranked 5th in Hawai'i by Golf Digest, rises from sea level to approximately 400 feet. Every hole is framed by a dramatic ocean view and some holes run directly along the ocean.

Quiet and Convenient

Hokuli'a is only 30 minutes from the Kona International Airport (KOA) and 15 minutes outside of Kailua-Kona, the largest town on Hawai‘i Island. Kailua-Kona offers restaurants, shops, galleries and services as well as the Kona Hospital.

Just above the Hokuli‘a entrance gate are the towns of Kealakekua and Captain Cook, in the center of Kona coffee country.
