Aloha,
|
 |
Aloha from Hawaii! The new year has been filled with sunshine and
pleasant tradewinds here in Hawaii. We are receiving lots of
inquiries about planning weddings and honeymoons in Hawaii, as
couples begin to plan their Spring and Summer events. In this issue
of our e-newsletter, we are focused on unique activities on each
island. All of these activities are perfect for both groups or just
the two of you. Enjoy, and Happy Planning! |

The Francis H.
I'i Brown North and South courses--are remarkable if for nothing
more than the vast fields of dark black lava out of which they were
constructed. The original 18 holes were opened in 1981, with Homer
Flint and Raymond Cain as the lead architects. It was a visually
spectacular course that featured one par-3 hole crossing a wide
Pacific inlet, another par-3 playing into a coliseum of lava, and
many holes whose primary challenge was to hit the bright green
fairways and greens, avoiding the lava formations in the landing
areas and on both sides of the fairways. The course received rave
reviews from the moment it opened. In 1991, Mauna Lani felt it
necessary to add another 18 holes, so they called in the Honolulu
architectural firm of Nelson/Wright/Haworth. With the land
configuration available to them, Robin Nelson and Rodney Wright
elected to split the existing course into two nines and add nine new
holes to each side. The results were remarkable, with the signature
par-3s having been split between the courses, and several new holes
on each course playing down to or in front of the
Pacific.
