This is the most difficult hole on the course--the number one handicap. This daunting hole plays into the tradewinds, and large bunkers guard both sides of the fairway--at one point narrowing the fairway to only 24 yards in width. The 2nd shot plays uphill into the wind, with a lone bunker guarding the right side of the elevated green. The green plays more narrow than it looks, with the front and left sloping off to chipping areas.

This is the first hole to feature one of four archaeological sites on the course dating back over 500 years. The 9th hole includes a lava rock heiau (an ancient site of worship) located to the right side of the fairway--adding historical significance and even more challenge to this hole. Players cannot enter these culturally sensitive areas or play balls from them. If a ball comes to rest within a heiau, it must be abandoned under penalty of one stroke. Players who miss the fairway on this hole will need a quality golf shot or will have to rely on their short game to save par.
