The Lanai courses are excellent. Unique and generally uncrowded unless there is some kind of corporate outing connected with a group staying at Manele Bay. The Experience is the most un-Hawaii like course you will find in the islands. Seems like you are at a mountain resort. Great views but generally a lot of wind. Bring a jacket since between the wind and the elevation it can be a little cool. The Challenge has some great holes as well.

Personal favorites are the two Mauna Lani courses. Very scenic and relatively forgiving. Nice resort golf. Unfortunately, lots of construction last time I played.
