This par-71 golf course features elevated greens and links-style bunkering.

This would be more pronounced on more elevated or more exposed greens.

The holes are nearly copies of one another, both hard doglegs to the left with elevated greens.

The front nine offers wide, expansive fairways with elevated, undulating and sloping greens, tee boxes and hidden water hazards.

Every hole has its own characteristics, of undulating fairways, gullies and elevated greens, making the most of the natural contours of the land.

Repeatedly, players jumped up and down in the bunkers to try to see the elevated greens.

The course is long, playing 7,074 yards from the back tees, and several of the dogleg approaches are sharp with elevated greens.

The elevated green has a long bunker left, and a deep bunker right.

All very challenging, with tight fairways, elevated greens, blind second shots, and headwinds on steep headlands.

Kapolei's elevated greens, 80 bunkers and five lakes provide delightful tactical challenges.
