| Francis H. I'i Brown Golf Course |
|
 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.
