Rated as one of the Top 50 golf resorts in Golf World’s Readers Choice Awards two years in a row, the original Kauai Lagoons offered 36 holes divided into two courses — the oceanfront Kiele Course and the Mokihana Course.  One of golf’s greatest players spent hours on the oceanfront Kauai Lagoons golf course on a hot summer day, but he didn’t tee up or swing a club. Instead, golf legend Jack Nicklaus returned to the Garden Isle to map out the redesign of his signature Kauai Lagoons Golf Club. The redesign will result in nine of Mokihana’s holes being added to the Kiele Course for a total of 27 holes. Improvements will be done in three phases; including new irrigation, new grass on the greens, new sand in the bunkers and drainage and design changes. One of the highlights will be the addition of a new oceanfront hole, bringing the total to four with a half mile stretch of ocean holes, the longest such stretch in the state. “It’s great to be back here in Hawaii and at Kauai Lagoons…Kiele was always one of my favorite courses and what they are doing to enhance the golf course here makes a lot of sense. With these changes, Kauai Lagoons Golf Course is going to be an incredible golf facility with a premier layout and immaculate course conditions,” said Nicklaus.   Planned re-opening date is set for May, 2011; Kauai Lagoons will continue to offer 18 great holes of Jack Nicklaus designed golf during this transformation period.
