a modest 6,595 yards from the back tees, golfers have much to consider

by railroad ties, par-3s over streams, undulating bent grass, and
fairways that slope off into bunkers and ravines. Luana Hills is
the perfect place for those looking for a quiet escape.

a fitting championship that determined the best golfer in the Islands.
