LANA’I CITY, HI, August 26, 2014 – The Manele Golf Course at the Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay continues to rank among the nation’s best places to play. The Jack Nicklaus Signature design was again named to GOLF magazine’s list of “Top 100 Courses You Can Play,” published in the September 2014 issue.
The Manele Golf Course (formerly known as the Challenge at Manele) is No. 40 overall in the United States, moving up six spots on the biennial rankings from 2012.
“It is an honor that the Manele Course is consistently considered among the elite venues in the game,” said Scott Ashworth, Director of Golf at Four Seasons Resorts Lana’i. “Its design integrity has remained intact while we continue to make improvements to the overall golf experience. Golfers continue to discover something new every time they play.”
The new rankings also have the Manele Course as No. 4 overall in the state of Hawai’i.
Having earned numerous awards since opening in 1993, the breathtaking layout built on lava outcroppings features three holes on the cliffs. Its signature hole is No. 12, a par 3 where the tee area is 150 feet above the crashing surf, challenging golfers with a dramatic shot to the green.
Located on a pristine island a few miles west of Maui, Four Seasons Resorts Lana’i reflects a simpler pace of life and the spirit of old Hawai’i. The resort offers unique cultural adventures, myriad water and land activities to complement its world-class golf: from sailing, snorkeling and diving to horseback riding, hiking, archery, tennis and even croquet. Or get ready for another day of golf with some “rejuvenation time” at The Spa at Manele Bay.
The Four Seasons Resorts Lana’i has earned the highest ranking for golf resorts – the Platinum Award – by GOLF magazine. Guests can enjoy two exceptional experiences on one island – either the quintessential beach resort at Manele Bay, or by choosing The Lodge at Koele, in a charming upcountry setting. The resort has recently unveiled enhancements in public areas including the lobby, spa, landscaping, pool spaces and more. These follow a number of restaurant features recently added, such as VIEWS, inside the Manele Golf Course clubhouse; ONE FORTY, an ocean-view American steak and Hawaiian seafood restaurant featuring local ingredients; NOBU LANA’I, and the Sports Bar for casual dining.
