The story so far
Princeville Makai is a public 18-hole course on the north shore of Kauai, Hawaii, above Hanalei Bay. Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed it, and it opened in 1971 as his first solo design, at 4080 Lei O Papa Road.
The routing plays along coastal bluffs and through tropical jungle and ravines, with views of the bay and the surrounding mountains. Golf Digest has ranked it among America's top public courses.
