About This Course

Nestled amidst the tranquil, upcountry landscape of Lanai, just a stone's throw from the charming Lanai City, lies a golfing experience truly unique in the Hawaiian Islands, and indeed, the world: the Cavendish Golf Course. More than just a golf course, Cavendish is a cherished community institution, a verdant nine-hole oasis where the spirit of aloha thrives, and the love of the game is freely shared. Unlike the world-class resort courses that often define Hawaiian golf, Cavendish offers an unpretentious, welcoming atmosphere that harks back to a simpler time, inviting locals and visitors alike to enjoy a round without the formality of tee times or the expense of green fees. This isn't just golf; it's an authentic slice of Lanai life, a place where the gentle trade winds carry the scent of pine and plumeria, and every swing feels like a step back in time. For those seeking a relaxed, accessible, and utterly charming golf experience on the Pineapple Isle, the Cavendish Golf Course is an essential stop.

Cavendish Golf Course stands as a testament to Lanai's distinctive character – an island famed for its luxurious resorts and untouched natural beauty, yet also home to a deep-rooted sense of community and a rich history tied to its plantation past. This free, public course embodies that balance, offering a recreational opportunity that is both a local amenity and a fascinating attraction for visitors. Whether you're a seasoned golfer looking for a casual round, a beginner eager to try the sport in a non-intimidating setting, or a family seeking a fun outdoor activity, Cavendish Golf Course on Lanai provides an unforgettable experience. Its enduring appeal lies not in championship challenges or opulent amenities, but in its pure, unadulterated joy of the game, set against the backdrop of Lanai's breathtaking natural beauty and imbued with the island's warm, welcoming spirit.

Luke Bennett

A fantastic day at Cavendish GC. You can really see why this has been an inspiration for Augusta in certain areas of the course. Absolutely stunning views throughout. We were shocked how quiet it was for a mid afternoon tee-time. Bunkers were beautiful, flour like almost. Fairways were well kept and the ball rolled beautifully. The greens were quick (my entire 4 ball doesn’t want to talk about the 3rd green lol). Some tricky par 3s but definitely a nice experience for all golfers. Highly recommend for the price.

Absolute class. My friend and I played on a glorious Sunday afternoon in October, and it was perfect. I knew about the reputation of this course as ‘the inspiration for Augusta’ and it does deliver. Dr Alastair McKenzie knew what he was doing. Amazing views from all corners of the course and despite the overall elevation, because the holes are carefully crafted into the tables of the terrain, it is a surprisingly good walk. The staff (shoutout to assistant pro, Liam) are super helpful and make you feel very welcome. Great hospitality in the clubhouse and you can enjoy watching players come in with a cold pint on the terrace. Cannot recommend highly enough and can’t wait to return next year. Proper golf course!

Ken Moodie

A wonderful Alistair Mackenzie designed golf course with a lovely clubhouse and outdoor terrace. You can enjoy some great views as you play this varied layout and be tested by the undulating greens which are kept in great condition. You won't be disappointed!
