 This
is a local favorite and plays host to several area competitions. The course
can play quite long, particularly from the championship blue tees, where the
distance is more than 7,100 yards. The signature hole is the fiendishly
picturesque par 3 fourth, which lulls players into admiring the scenery,
rather than paying attention to their task of playing over water to a
heavily bunkered green.
The excellent 18-hole Links-style course at Eastern Star was designed and
built by Robert Trent Jones Jr, one of the foremost international designers
of championship golf courses. Playing to a par 72 over 7,134 yards from the
Blue tees, and set among 530 acres (1,400 rai) of a former coconut palm
plantation. It offers plenty of challenge for the experienced golfer, but
also offers solid enjoyment for beginners. It is a "thinking man's course"
that can be successfully navigated with a little strategy and
well-positioned shots. Location see:
