Hole 2 at Hoakalei Country Club

Par 5 • 532 Yards • Kapolei, Hawaii

Enhanced Content

Challenging

Hoakalei Country Club hole 2 unfolds as a classic risk-reward par 5, stretching 532.0 yards through a graceful dogleg right that rewards patience and precision alike. From the tee, players must decide how aggressively to challenge the bend, with the ideal line hugging the inside corner to shorten the approach into a green complex framed by the dramatic backdrop of Hawaiian terrain. Though free of penal water hazards, the hole's strategic teeth lie in its shot-shaping demands—working the ball right to left off the tee sets up the best angle for a mid-iron approach. As the number 7 handicap hole, it offers a genuine three-shot test for higher handicaps while tempting longer hitters to attack in two, making it one of the more memorable strategic puzzles on the course.
