Waialae Golf Course History Waialae Golf Course's existence, along with the Royal Hawaiian Hotel's, owes itself to a tourism promotion campaign intended to tempt high-end visitors to Hawaii in the 1920's. The flat land wasn't the most desirable for a golf course, so they hired a legendary designer named Seth Raynor to work his magic. Raynor's courses are eagerly sought out by today's golfers, ready to pay exorbitant sums to challenge his fairways. Amazingly, the man never played a round of golf until after he had completed 4 of his famous courses.
The land was leased from the Bishop Estate and opened to welcome the first duffers on February 1, 1927. Territorial Hotel Co., who owned Waialae, got into financial troubles during the Great Depression and turned their holdings over to the Matson Company.
Though World War II saw the country club taken over by the military to establish coastal defenses, it was the 1960's that saw the greatest incursion, at least from golf fans' point of view. The building of the Kahala Hilton prompted the Bishop Trust to take back the oceanfront fairways and other land from the country club.
All of Raynor's design was taken out as the golf course was moved inland and completely reconfigured. Online golf forums are still filled with fans weeping from this loss, over 50 years later. Waialae Golf Course homes are still a pleasure despite that, many of which enjoy a place right on the fairway. With the beach just steps away, a house here is guaranteed to erase all unpleasant memories.
