held on Saturday, October 7th. The Aloha ‘Aina Collective is a regional
partnership of North Shore Malama ‘Aina organizations which include the
Hanalei Initiative, Waipa Foundation, Na Maka Onaona, Kapuka Kuleana and

About
the Princeville Makai Golf Club
Princeville
Makai Golf Club opened in 1971 as the first solo effort of golf course
architect Robert Trent Jones, Jr. In 2009 and 2010, the course was completely
renovated by Jones Jr., introducing spectacular new Seashore Paspalum turf
grass on all fairways and greens. Since the renovation, the Makai Course
has soared to the top of golf’s most respected rankings, including Golf
Digest’s “Top 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses in America,” “Top 3
Best Courses You Can Play in Hawaii” by Golfweek, and named one
of the “Top 5 Great Golf Settings” in the world by National Geographic
Traveler. With six oceanfront holes overlooking the stunning North
Shore, picturesque views of Makana, commonly referred to as Bali Hai from
the 1958 film “South Pacific”, and dozens of waterfalls cascading from
nearby peaks (Namolokama and Mamalahoa), Princeville Makai Golf Club is
the definition of golf in paradise. In addition to golf, Princeville Makai
Golf Club is also home to Sunset
Golf Cart Tours, the Mauka Disc Golf Course, Sunrise Yoga, a popular
tennis facility and many jaw dropping sites for banquets and special celebrations.
