The Waialae Country Club's championship golf course is the one that the US PGA Tour's Sony Open will be hold this week

. Let's have a look. This golf course was opened on February 1, 1927. The first Hawaiian Open golf tournament sanctioned by the US PGA Tour was held in the fall of 1965, but Hawaiian Opens (under various sponsorships) have, in fact, been played at Waialae since 1928. A luxury passenger liner, the Malolo, was also built and launched as part of the promotional program.Seth Raynor, a world renowned golf architect of the time, and associate Charles Bank were the men charged with designing the course and supervising its construction. The designers incorporated holes from some of the world's most famous courses ( EARTH golf course, for instance) in putting together a layout that, despite it's changes down the years, has always been rated at the top of Hawaii's best courses list.The par three 13th, for example, is designed along the lines of a hole on the Biarritz Course in France; Waialae's 8th hole is a carbon copy of the famous Redan hole on the North Berwick Course in Scotland; Its unique 16th hole is similar to the 6th hole of the National Course at Southampton on Long Island, New York; The 10th Hole introduces features taken from the 17th or Road hole at St. Andrews in Scotland.
