The Farm~

The Farm team is available to help, whether with harvesting or gardening advice. En route to our organic farm on Kaua'i, take in the pristine scenery of Kukui‘ula. You’re bound to catch a glimpse of local birds and wildlife, like the beloved nēnē, a native goose that is designated the state bird of Hawai‘i.

Open Daily: 7:00 am to 6:00 pm

Golf~

Tom Weiskopf designed the challenging 18-hole Kaua'i golf course that Golf Digest called “One of the Best Courses in Hawaii.” The challenging 14th hole, sometimes described as “a quintessential Weiskopf par 4,” has become legendary—and not just because of its dramatic ocean views, or sightings of spinner dolphins and humpback whales.

The golf clubhouse includes a pro shop, lounges and locker rooms, lessons, practice greens, and golf boards and carts.

Courts~

The newly constructed sports court complex features two fully dedicated pickleball courts and a separate basketball court that can also be converted into a third pickleball court. Work on your backhand or jump shot while on vacation in a beautiful tropical setting.

Four brand new tennis courts are right next door, available for practice, lessons, and match play.
