Tom Fazio
With five of his courses ranked among the top 100 in the world, Tom Fazio is recognized by his peers as the world's preeminent golf course architect. Kūkiʻo Golf and Beach Club is his first, and only, on the Big Island, as well as in the state of Hawai'i.
“Kūkiʻo is one of the greatest clubs I have ever been to. It is my only design in Hawaii. It was a major commitment to commute from Florida to the Big Island. The execution of building over jagged lava was difficult. We had to ‘walk’ a bulldozer over the lava flow to evaluate where to situate the course in relation to the coastline. The resources afforded to me has produced a course that is as good as any in the world,”
