Ted Robinson had a number of prominent golf course designs on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, and none got closer to the Pacific Ocean than his entry at the Ko Olina Resort. Although the views of that mighty body will be admirable, Robinson flexed his notoriety for creating what he called “waterscapes” when laying out this course. The two signature holes owe a great deal of their popularity to the fanciful waterfall features that accompany them.
The first comes at No. 8, where players will drive off the tee toward a green 195 yards away. Although many par threes feature intimidating ponds along the left-hand side, this is the rarity where a laterally-angled waterfall will collect balls that end up going to the left, being ushered by the flow down to the pond farther downstream.
The waterfall at No. 18 will be less of a challenge for golfers, aside from the visual distraction. It flows from the right of out-of-bounds before making a horseshoe and pouring into a pond. The latter body will create more problems for you, however, as they’ll be required to avoid it on their way to a green that's surrounded by both H2O and bunkers.
