Owning a luxury home on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi is a privilege in itself. And when that home is located within the fabulous Kūki‘o Golf and Beach Club on the Kona Kohala Coast, the experience is second to none.

Kūki‘o is next to the Four Seasons Hualalai Resort and boasts one of the most pristine white beaches on the Big Island. It is a private equity beach and golf club, and only open to new members by invitation.

Breathtaking houses and cottages feature seamless, soothing indoor-outdoor floorplans for a relaxed island lifestyle. Many feature state-of-the-art kitchens with energy saving appliances, photo-voltaic systems, multiple, multi-use guest suites, spa-like garden baths, infinity-edge pools, generous spaces for open air bar, dining and getting lost in magnificent ocean and golf course views.

For those who chose to step away from their private shangri-la, the many diversions of Kūki‘o Golf and Beach Club stand ready. Membership is exclusive only to residents, and the Club includes distinctive spa, dining, numerous sports, and entertainment options limited only by the imagination.

Of particular note are two members-only championship golf courses, the only Tom Fazio designed courses in Hawai’i. Fazio is widely acknowledged as one of today’s best golf course architects, and five of his golf courses are  ranked in the top 100 worldwide.

At Kūki‘o, Fazio has created a par 33, 10-hole short course with numerous practice areas, and a spectacular par 72, 18-hole, 7,419 yard masterpiece along the dramatic Pacific coast. And, after a satisfying round, golfers and friends enjoy the amenities of Kūki‘o Golf Clubhouse, with its open-air restaurant and bar, pro shop, and well-appointed men’s and women’s locker rooms. Every professional service is available, from white-uniformed caddies to skilled teaching professionals and extravagant Comfort Stations.

Tom Fazio himself has said, “Kūki‘o is one of the greatest clubs I have ever been to.”

So much more than golf is available within the Kūki‘o Golf and Beach Club. Members are welcome to the Sports Complex, a perfect gathering place for active families and groups of friends. The Complex includes a pool, toddler’s pool with fountain, four tennis courts, sand volleyball court, television and surround sound music, full size basketball court, children’s jungle gym, ping pong table, and grass sports field.
