The Ocean Course at Hōkūala is an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus-designed resort course in Līhuʻe on Kauaʻi. Nicklaus Design records the course as opening in 1988. The present routing combines holes from the former Kiele and Mokihana layouts and includes an extended oceanfront sequence on the back nine.
Nicklaus Design later guided a significant upgrade of the ocean holes, including the creation of a new ocean hole. The course plays to par 72 and is open to resort guests and outside golfers through public tee-time booking. Published sources differ slightly on its maximum current yardage, with figures of 7,121 and 7,156 yards appearing, so no single length has been asserted here.
