Hokuli’a: Golf and Luxury on the Big Island

by | Sep 23, 2024 | Where to Play

Hokuli’a, a stunning 1,260-acre oceanfront residential community on the famed Kona Coast of Hawai’i Island, is becoming one of the Big Island’s more desired addresses – offering built homes and homesites for buyers to build their custom dream homes alongside world-class amenities.

The property includes a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course with newly renovated bunkers and greens, an updated dining facility, refinished tennis courts, and new pickleball courts.

“The golf component at Hokuli’a is highly significant and central to the community’s appeal,’’ said Carrie Nicholson, Director of Sales & Marketing at Hokuli’a. “The golf course attracts avid golfers and enhances the overall lifestyle at Hokuli’a, serving as a key feature that complements its luxurious and active living environment.’’

The emphasis on golf, Nicholson said, reflects Hokuli’a’s commitment to providing exceptional recreational opportunities and enriching the member experience and ranked as one of the top private golf courses in the State of Hawaii.

The Jack Nicklaus Signature Course

“Hokuli’a has seen substantial growth in real estate over the years, with the development of luxury homes and exceptional amenities – like Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course. This expansion has elevated the Kona Coast’s profile as a prime destination for upscale living. The growth has also positively impacted the local economy by increasing demand for services and businesses, setting a new benchmark for quality and contributing to the overall appeal of the Kona Coast.’’

Hokuli’a currently has more than one dozen permanent members and residents. According to Nicholson, the number is gradually increasing as the community continues to develop new luxury real estate and enhance amenities to attract new homeowners.

For example, among the property’s newer listings is “Hale Moeuhane,” translated as “Dream House. ” This 3-bedroom, 4-bath home spanning 3,899 square feet has its own putting green, an infinity-edge pool, expansive pocket sliding doors for seamless indoor/outdoor living, and panoramic Pacific Ocean views.

Members at Hokuli’a have access to all its amenities, primed for Hawai’i adventures and relaxation, including the indoor-outdoor style clubhouse, three-lane lap pool, spa/massage oasis, Pavilion Restaurant, tennis and pickleball courts, ocean adventures, and aquatic activities.  Members can also embark on hikes throughout the property and the 140-acre Hokuli’a Shoreline Historic Park, which offers stunning archaeological and unique geological features.

“The Kona Coast stands out for its diverse landscapes, which gradually transition into an expansive and stunning coastline offering breathtaking sunset views year-round,’’ Nicholson said.  “Its geographic features also help shield it from inclement weather, resulting in consistently beautiful, sunny conditions.

“We want our members to immerse themselves in the true essence of Hawaii, embracing a luxurious and active lifestyle away from crowded resort areas.’’
