The 2025 HGCSA Annual Golf Tournament
Since 1967, Pearl at Kalauao has been a cherished part of O‘ahu’s golf community. Originally designed by Akira Sato, this par-72 course has long offered golfers both a challenge and breathtaking views of Pu‘uloa (Pearl Harbor) and the Wai‘anae mountains.
In 2020, ownership returned to Kamehameha Schools, establishing Pearl at Kalauao as a distinctive public golf course in Hawai‘i.
With recent renovations, the course and facilities have been elevated to honor its past while embracing a bright future. As stewards of this ‘āina (land), we are committed to supporting Native Hawaiian learners, fostering community, and offering a truly unique golf experience for all.

The GCSAA show (Catch Your Wave) is coming up and if you are attending please stop by the Lebanon Turf booth and vote Ulia for Dog of the Year!
Ulia found Jason Amoy, superintendent at Mad Pacific Country Clup as an 8-week-old pup.
She loves to run the course in Lanikai, where her favorite jobb each morning is to herd the resident duck population back into the pond.
Plan now to stop by the LebanonTurf booth at the GCSAA Conference and Trade Show in February to place your vote for the 2025 Dog of the Year. The winner’s owner will receive a $500 prize and $3,000 for his or her GCSAA-affiliated chapter. A $2,000 charitable donation will also be made to K9’s for Warriors by GCSAA and LebanonTurf in honor of the winner.

Superintendent of the Year and 2025 Rounds 4 Research

Remember if you donate golf rounds you and your staff get your dues waived for the year. The money we make from this program helps us run the chapter and allows us to keep our dues and tournament entry fee’s down.
…and, the donation process can be completed online and takes approximately 10 minutes. Please visit
