Every day is a good day to golf on the Big Island. Whether you prefer to play in a cool misty climate reminiscent of Scotland, or so close to the Pacific that you have to wipe the salt spray off your clubs, there's a course or three for you. The 18 courses on the island range from spectacular championship resort courses, to unique upcountry links and homey municipal courses. Each course has a distinct design and personality suited for the challenges of the avid golfer or the wannabe golfer. From atop a volcano to the famed third hole at the Mauna Kea Resort, just pick a course and tee off.
