Attire
Standard golf attire for men and ladies. Collared shirts, slacks (no jeans), shorts (not over 1" above knee), golf shoes with plastic spikes.

Features
Built on 163 acres, leaving untouched as much of the island's flora as possible, the course's front nine plays through old pineapple fields and deep valley gorges laced with Kiawe trees and rare regal Koa. The back nine meander past pine cathedral's and thickets of eucalyptus with untrammeled views of neighboring Maui & Molokai and deliver a staggering finish: a 250-foot drop from a signature seventeenth hole to the deepest ravine on Lana'i.

Sport Clays - Shooting
Set in the island's dramatic upland region, our sporting clays course provides the opportunity to enjoy a refined sport amid some of the most spectacular natural surroundings in Hawaii. Lana'i Pine Sporting Clays is designed to entice beginners and challenge experts. Our 14-station solar powered course is the safest and most well designed in the Pacific.

Starting Out
The excitement of breaking sporting clays is contagious, and can be enjoyed by everyone. Our National Sporting Clay Association trained instructors provide first-timers with safety tips and give pointers on the sport of clay shooting. Regardless of your age, size, or skill level, you will begin to hit targets in no time.

Our pro shop and clubhouse offer all the necessary equipment. Guns are fitted for both weight and size to minimize recoil, assuring each shooter a safe and comfortable experience.

Another Shot
If you've shot sporting clays before, then you understand the excitement. While providing further instruction, our instructors challenge shooters by introducing them to new and different sporting clays games, such as skeet, wobble trap, and compact sporting. Clays are launched to simulate rabbit running patterns as well as quail, duck, dove and pheasant flight patterns.

The Next Level
For the experienced shooter, the Lana'i Pine Sporting Clays offers a world-class challenge. Managed by Dennis Rapp, a nationally recognized NSCA Level III instructor, our course is equipped with 14 automated target launchers, 6 fully-automated competition high towers and "single shooter" delay circuitry for individual play.

Events
Lanái Pine Sporting Clays hosts several events throughout the year, including our Annual Hawai'i Pacific Open Ducks Unlimited Shoot and a variety of shooting school opportunities.

Group Activities & Lessons
There are an array of group programs tailored for both beginners and seasoned shooters alike. We also offer children's programs, fun shoots, corporate and group activities and private lessons.

At The Lodge at Koele, rejuvenation and recreation coexist in perfect harmony. Saddle up for a serene horseback ride through guava forests and ironwood groves at the Stables at Koele. Tee off at a highland course that leads through dense forests and stunning valley gorges. Surrender your tensions to a Swedish or Shiatsu massage. Lose yourself along miles of silken beaches. Or share an evening with a renowned visionary through our Visiting Artist Program. All of this, of course, at your discretion. You certainly need not feel compelled to do anything at all.
