Pearl at Kalauao is more than just 18 holes. It’s a celebration of the land and legacy of Puʻuloa (Pearl Harbor).

The course features tree-lined fairways, strategic elevation changes, and panoramic views of the Pacific that challenge every level of golfer, making it a must-play for visiting players. 

Proud to be a local favorite, the course is known for its well-maintained greens and welcoming atmosphere.

There rates remain competitive for visiting players, with equipment rentals available on-site and a newly added 3-hole pitch & putt course, Nā Momi ʻEkolu—perfect for juniors, beginners, or a quick warm-up before a full round. 

After your game, unwind at the full-service restaurant, which showcases island-style comfort food using locally sourced ingredients. From crispy Lechon Kawali to signature Loco Mocos featuring premium beef from Honolulu Meat Company, every bite is crafted with care and connection to the land. Enjoy a cold drink on the lanai or inside the dining space.
