Though it closed its fairways in 2008, its legacy as a truly unique and challenging golf destination remains a cherished part of Hawaii's rich golf history. For those who had the privilege to play it, The Experience at Koele golf course represented the pinnacle of upland golf, a sophisticated blend of natural beauty and demanding design that etched itself into the memories of every golfer who dared to take on its elevated challenges.

Unbelievable course - views layout and great service…! Easily see why Manele is Hawaii’s #1 course - great playability for various levels, nice layout and the view and conditions are pristine. Plenty of beautiful courses in Hawaii.. but the service here is also great from the moment you arrive and at the snack stand. Special shout out to Pete in the pro shop. Mgmt and leadership at this course is top notch
The most beautiful course in Hawaii. Very well-tended greens, pristine. Beautiful views from each hole. The staff is very friendly and professional. Great amenities (snacks and beverages-cocktails included-are complimentary); clean restrooms/locker rooms; great practice facilities (putting teen and driving range). A golfer’s dream! Each hole is so secluded that you feel as though you’re the only one there. Multiple tee box locations to choose from.
I played Manele Golf Course while staying at the Four Seasons, with the hotel staff helping me book a tee time. I played as a single, and although I’ve seen many ocean courses, there haven’t been many as beautiful as this one. It truly felt like the course was surrounded by the ocean.
