It’s that time of year again when some of the world’s best golfers flock to the slopes of the West Maui mountains for one of the most elite competitions in the nation.

Maui’s Kapalua Plantation Course is home to the PGA’s SBS Tournament of Champions, which kicked off January 4th. While the island is home to several 18-hole masterpieces that span from lush mountain slopes to tropical coastal waters, the Plantation Course is undoubtedly one of Maui’s best courses.

With sweeping views unlike any other Hawaiʻi golf course, players gaze across picturesque landscapes that span from Molokaʻi to the West Maui mountains. The world-class course’s breathtaking vistas can make it difficult to focus on the shot — even for the professionals.
