Course Insight
Opened in 1991, Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw carved the Plantation Course into the hills of the West Maui Mountains on a former pineapple plantation. The course was refined and revitalized in an extensive 2019 enhancement.
Notable Course Features
The last two holes at the Plantation Course are long on yardage, but both play downhill. While the 550-yard, par-4 17th is annually one of the toughest holes on the course, the 677-yard 18th plays so downhill that most of the field can reach or get close to the par-5 green in two.
Charity Benefit
In 2022, the Sentry Tournament of Champions raised $642,490 for charity. The beneficiaries were Boy Scouts of America, Friends of the Children’s Justice Center, Hale Makua Health Services, J. Walter Cameron Center, Ka Lima O Maui, Lahainaluna High School Foundation and Lahaina Junior Golf.
