Par 4 • 371 Yards • Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii

Enhanced Content

Moderate

The 10th hole at Kapalua Resort's Bay course presents a deceptively challenging par 4 that epitomizes the strategic golf this renowned Maui layout demands. At 371 yards, this straight hole may appear straightforward, but its handicap ranking of 2 tells the real story. The absence of traditional hazards places premium emphasis on precision and course management, as players must navigate to an optimal position for their approach to the small, demanding green complex.

The tee shot requires careful consideration of wind conditions that frequently swirl through this elevated Hawaiian terrain. With generous fairway width, distance control becomes more critical than direction, as the approach angle significantly impacts scoring opportunities. The compact green punishes wayward approach shots, demanding pinpoint accuracy from whatever distance remains. This hole perfectly captures Kapalua's philosophy of rewarding strategic thinking over pure power, making it a memorable test that challenges golfers to think their way to par.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

Play a controlled tee shot to the 200-yard mark where the fairway is only 12 yards wide - consider hitting a 3-wood or hybrid to stay in the short grass rather than risking driver into the narrowing landing area.

hazard warning

Avoid the fairway bunker positioned at 249.8 yards - this hazard sits right where an aggressive driver would land and will leave you with a difficult recovery shot.

approach

From a 200-yard tee shot position, you'll have approximately 171 yards remaining to a generous green measuring 31 yards by 31 yards - a mid-iron should give you plenty of target to work with.

tee shot

The fairway completely disappears at 250 yards, making position more important than distance - laying up short of this pinch point sets up a manageable approach shot.

green

Target the center of this large 5,371 square foot green rather than chasing pins - the generous putting surface gives you room for error on your approach shot.
