This charming, plantation-style
nine-hole course sits on sloping land along central Molokai's
north coast
mountains, not far from
the island's only airport. Ironwood Hills offers a purely
fun 'who's-keeping-score' round. Its well-kept, elevated
greens give the golfer surprising approach-shot results,
especially when the prevailing trade winds are blowing.
Not only is Ironwood Hills
easy on the pocketbook, this Molokai golf course also
provides a glimpse into Hawaii golf history. This course
is the descendant of one of Hawaii's original plantation
courses, the Hanekekua Golf Club, which opened in 1938.
Anyone who plays Ironwood
Hills should also plan a side trip to nearby Palaau State
Park. Just a short walk from the parking area, visitors
are afforded dominating vistas of the beautiful Kalaupapa
Peninsula, some 2,000-feet straight down.
Standing at this elevation,
it's not uncommon to see small airplanes below, navigating
their way along the incredible scenery of Molokai's northern
cliffs, the tallest oceanfront cliffs in the world. Look
closely, and it's likely you'll see any number of black
mountain goats somehow holding their ground on the vertical
cliff faces below.
