Why Honolulu for a Luxury Golf trip
Oahu has a serious golf scene for an island its size. Waialae Country Club, a private club in Kahala, is a longtime PGA Tour host, while Ko Olina Golf Club on the sunny west coast offers resort golf with water features and ocean breezes. Elsewhere, courses on the windward side play beneath the fluted green cliffs of the Koolau Range. Base yourself in Ko Olina or Kahala for a golf-focused stay, and book morning tee times before the trade winds pick up.
Oahu combines the energy of Waikiki with the island's quieter shores. Luxury here means oceanfront suites facing Diamond Head, beachfront resorts on the calm lagoons of the leeward coast, and the gracious aloha style of Hawaiian hospitality. It suits travelers who want world-class dining, surfing, hiking and Pearl Harbor history alongside time on the sand.
When to go: Oahu is warm year-round, with the drier, sunnier months running roughly from April through October. Spring and fall are typically quieter and good value, while winter brings occasional showers and big surf to the North Shore.
