Bing Crosby hit the ceremonial opening tee shot at Royal Ka'anapali in 1962, when Robert Trent Jones Sr. routed it through the rolling sugar-cane country on Maui's northwest shore. The course tips out at a modest 6,700 yards and plays par 71, with the back nine running closer to the West Maui mountains and the front nine touching views of Lanai and Molokai across the channel. The course earned a spot on Golf Digest's original 100 Greatest from 1969 through 1974 and was on the publication's 200 Toughest Courses list at its 1966 launch. Modern-era recognition includes Golfweek's Best Courses You Can Play in Hawaii and a #14 ranking on Golf Advisor's 2024 Top Hawaii Courses. Tournament heritage is deep: the property has hosted PGA Tour Champions Skins Game, the LPGA Kemper Open, the original Shell's Wonderful World of Golf, and the Canada Cup. Premium Maui pricing puts it in the $$$ band.
