Played it yesterday with my wife, incredible course, played it in the am, friendly staff, more water than I expected on the island, the 17th hole is the best, hit it straight and watch it go. Easier than the Challenge course, but what a great golf day Laying both.

“Great golf and very memorable 17th hole”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 March 2012

This Greg Norman designed course is at almost the 3,000 foot elevation amidst the Cooke Iland pines. The couse offers a much different experience in comparison to the drier, oceanside Challenge at Manelle course. The course offers great mountain views and because of the elevation, is cooler and more verdant than most of the rest of the Island of Lanai.... More

The course itself is nice, I personally liked the Challenge better but hole #17 makes the Experience worth playing the 36 holes. WOW, sorry no photos but check out other photos or the web-site and...

Very nice Greg Norman layout, but it's currently not in good shape due to the lack of rain. The back nine is in really bad condition. It's the same price as Manele. Play Manele until they get it back in good condition.

“The Experience at Koele is a must play!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 April 2010

The Experience at Koele is really an experience not to miss! This championship course is unlike any other in Hawaii, set 2,000 feet above sea level and surrounded by lush valleys, eucalyptus trees and dramatic ravines - it's absolutely breathtaking. The signature hole, #17, plays from a 200 foot elevation from tee to green and is definitely one of the... More
