Golf Courses The Ironwood Hills Golf Club is a 9-hole public course located near the Kalaupapa Peninsula on Molokai's rugged north shore. It was the first and, for nearly forty years, only golf course on the island. It is Par 34 for 2,816-yards, offering challenging play with a backdrop of raw natural beauty. Ironwood Hills is a straightforward mountain course with few doglegs and no ponds. The challenge on this course lies in the hilly terrain, the narrow, heavily wooded fairways, and the small, fast greens. In addition, the strong trades on Molokai's north shore can reach up to 25 miles per hour in the afternoon, and golfers may find it advisable to play this course in the morning hours. The Kaluakoi Golf Course is a championship, 6,618-yard Ted Robinson-designed course that takes full advantage of the unparalleled West Molokai views. Bound seaside by Kepuhi and Papohaku Beaches along the sparkling Pacific Ocean, the course's inland contours fringe the open rangeland, blending with untouched wilderness. Stretched across 160 manicured acres, every hole is a different experience, with contoured fairways, gemlike lakes and deviously placed bunkers to challenge your game and still whet your appetite for more. Dress Description Summer attire is appropriate all year round, although visitors would be well advised to pack a sweater or long-sleeved shirt for the cooler evenings. Comfortable shoes are a must, and travelers may even want to bring along a pair of hiking boots and a jacket if they plan to visit the higher elevations.
