Tough

Hoakalei Country Club hole 6 delivers a pure test of precision, demanding a confident tee shot to a green guarded on all sides by trouble. At 190.0 yards, this par 3 requires golfers to commit fully to their club selection, as three distinct sand bunkers frame the putting surface and punish any shot that drifts offline. The straight, unobstructed sightline from tee to green offers no visual deception—what you see is exactly what you must execute. Set against the backdrop of Kapolei's dramatic Hawaiian landscape, this hole rewards a well-struck iron with a genuine birdie opportunity, while anything short or wide finds sand and a demanding up-and-down.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 190-yard par 3 demands a well-struck long iron or hybrid that carries the full distance, as bunkers guard both the front (175.5y and 173.0y) and back (207.2y) of the green, leaving little margin for mis-hits short or long.

hazard warning

Two bunkers sitting at 173.0y and 175.5y create a gauntlet roughly 15-17 yards short of the green's putting surface, so club up if there's any doubt to avoid catching sand on the front approach.

hazard warning

A deep bunker at 207.2 yards sits beyond the green, punishing any tee shot that runs long past the 190-yard target—favor a controlled trajectory over an aggressive full swing to avoid this back hazard.

green

With a small green measuring only 3,662 square feet (21 yards wide by 32 yards deep), precision on the tee shot is essential; missing the target zone by even a few yards can leave a difficult up-and-down from the surrounding bunkers.

approach

Given the green's narrow 21-yard width, players should favor shots aimed at the center of the putting surface rather than challenging pins tucked near the 173.0y or 175.5y front bunkers.
