Waialae Golf Course – Waialae Country Club
Opened February 1st 1927 the Waialae Golf Course was built as part of a promotional programme to develop luxury travel trade to Hawaii.
Mr. Seth Raynor, world famous golf architect, and his associate, Mr. Charles Banks, designed and supervised the building of Waialae. The course has taken inspiration from around the world:
- The 8th hole is patterned after the famous Redan hole on the North Berwick Course in Scotland.
- The 10th Hole introduces features of the 17th or Road hole at St. Andrews in Scotland.
- The par three 13th is designed from one on the Biarritz Course in France.
- The 16th hole is similar to the 6th hole of the National Course at Southhampton, Long Island.
