2026 Ironman World Championship in Kona
The 2026 Ironman World Championship Race will be held in Kailua Kona, Hawaii on Saturday, October 10th, 2026.
The Francis Brown North and South golf courses are two of the most naturally beautiful 18-hole championship courses in Hawaii and are private courses attached to the Mauna Lani Resort. They are oceanfront courses and were designed by Homer Flint and Raymond Cain and opened to the public in 1981. These are two of the most photographed golf courses on the Big Island, and players look forward to getting to the signature holes when playing. The South course has a length of 6,436 yards, while the north course is 6,601 yards in length.
The Mauna Lani golf courses have repeatedly received the gold medal award from Golf Magazine and are some of the favorite places to host golf tournaments on the Big Island. They have hosted tournaments such as the Big Island Amateur Golf Championship and the Hawaii State Open among many others. The North and South courses of Mauna Lani also have fully equipped pro shops, including golf clubs, shoes, apparel and other golfing memorabilia. Golf clubs are available for rental.
The North Course is an 18-hole championship parkland style course. The course is designed among a Kiawe forest and boasts a 230 acre protected archaeological area with sweeping ocean views. The signature hole is a par three tucked into a natural lava amphitheater and the favorite “I was here” photo spot. This is one of the most popular tournament courses on the island and is home to prestigious intercollegiate tournaments featuring future PGA Tour players.
The famed South Course is an 18-hole championship links style course with incredible ocean and island views. Its 15th hole is one of the most photographed, over-the-water golf holes in the world. The course weaves through lava from the ancient Kaniku lava flow. During the winter months golfers can enjoy watching whales just offshore from the course.
