Three of the golf and resort properties in Kaua’i’s golf-destination co-operative – Princeville, Poipu Bay and Kaua’i Lagoons – have garnered top spots from Condé Nast Traveler Magazine in its 10th annual “Top 100 Golf Resorts,” the Kaua’i Visitors Bureau today announced on Monday.
Princeville at Hanalei and its 45 golf holes were rated the No. 12 best golf resort in the world by Condé Nast Traveler readers, followed closely at No. 14 by Grand Hyatt Kaua’i Resort & Spa and its Poipu Bay Golf Course, home of the PGA Grand Slam of Golf where Tiger Woods, Michael Campbell, Phil Mickelson and Vijay Singh have qualified to play November 22-23 in this year’s edition of that event.
A third member of the Kaua‘i golf destination co-operative – the 36-hole, Jack Nicklaus-designed Kaua’i Lagoons Golf Club – was rated No. 47 worldwide.
Princeville Resort and Grand Hyatt Kaua’i Resort & Spa also enjoy the distinction of having been named to Condé Nast Traveler’s Top 100 Golf Resorts list each of the 10 years it has existed.
“Having three of Kauai’s five golf-destination partners rated among the very best golf resorts in the world is worth its weight in gold because of the source – Condé Nast Traveler readers – and the extensive, objective research this leading resource for avid golf-and-resort travelers employed,” says Sue Kanoho, Executive Director of the Kaua’i Visitors Bureau.
“What is particularly gratifying is that of the five golf-destination partners on Kaua’i all three that are part of resorts were honored by Condé Nast Traveler readers as ‘Top 100 Resorts’, “ says Ms. Kanoho. “Kaua’i’s other two golf-destination partners – Puakea and Kiahuna – have wonderful golf courses as well, so we’re excited for visitors to experience all five properties and judge each for themselves.”
