Opened in 1975, the Bay Course has hosted more than 20 major professional tournaments, the most of any course on Hawaii's neighbouring islands. From the first live broadcast of a golf tournament on Kapalua International Golf Primetime in 1983 to the Kapalua LPGA Classic some 25 years later, the Bay Course has faced some of the best players in golf and has stood the test of time and skill. The Bay Course is a championship course that is as challenging as it is scenic. Its breathtaking 17th hole is the only hole on Maui that plays over the ocean.
