This course opened in 1947 with a design by E.B. Cavendish, who was superintendent of factory guards at Hawaiian Pineapple Company (which later became Dole Pineapple Company). This 9-hole, par-36 layout is owned and operated by the city of Lanai City and features many Norfolk pines, which actually help mitigate the otherwise dry conditions here.

The course is primarily used by Lanai residents, but visitors are always welcome - the course entrance is on Keomoku Road, adjacent to the Lodge at Koele. Cavendish relies on the honor system for collecting the $10 green fees.
