Sitting in the foothills of Haleakala, just high enough to afford spectacular ocean vistas from every hole, this course (formerly known as the Silversword Golf Club) is for golfers who love the views as much as the fairways and greens. It's very forgiving. Just one caveat: Go in the morning. Not only is it cooler, but more important, it's also less windy. In the afternoon, the winds bluster down Haleakala with great gusto. This is a fun course to play, with some challenging holes (the par-5, 2nd hole is a virtual minefield of bunkers, and the par-5, 8th hole shoots over a swale and then uphill).
