Which Honolulu course hosts the Sony Open in Hawaii?

The Sony Open in Hawaii is hosted by Waialae Country Club in Honolulu.

Waialae is a private 18-hole club in East Honolulu on the island of Oahu. The course was designed by Seth Raynor and opened in 1927, several decades before it became the permanent home of the PGA Tour event.

The tournament began in 1965 as the Hawaiian Open and has been played at Waialae since its inception. It is typically held in January and is traditionally the first full-field event on the PGA Tour calendar, following the Tournament of Champions on Maui.

A common mix-up is confusing Waialae with Kapalua Plantation Course, which hosts the Maui event. Poipu Bay and Ko Olina are also Hawaiian golf courses, but neither hosts the Sony Open. The tournament’s title sponsor, Sony, took over naming rights in 1999.
