1926–2026
One hundred years of aloha
A lifestyle built on tradition
It began with a promise, and a piece of Lanikai.
In 1926, the club was organized by Charles R. Frazier and sixty-four Honolulu businessmen, an amenity promised in the brochure for Frazier's Lanikai development. To design the course, the club turned to Seth J. Raynor, who declared it could "easily rank among the best five or six in the United States."
