Pukea at Grove Farm was originated in 1989 and designed as a residential course in the center of Kauai. The first holes had been completed in 1993 when Hurricane Iniki struck the Hawaiian Islands and devastated most of Kauai's economy. In spite of having 10 holes (one of which is "thrown out" during the round to allow for a USGA approved round) Sports Illustrated Magazine names it one of the top 10 Nine Hole Courses in the US.

Hole 12

Hole 15

The Grove Farm Company operated the 10-hole course, now known as Puakea until 2000 when the project was bought by Steve Case of AOL fame whose family has historic ties to the property.

The course features expansive fairways, strategic bunkering, and very impressive views to the surrounding Pali Cliffs. The "signature hole" is the par three 6th, which is a par three of 175 yards that plays down some 80 feet to a green alongside an ancient sugar cane irrigation lake with a backdrop of the Kalepa Ridge.
