Scottsdale, Arizona, United States: Troon has been selected to manage Kiahuna Golf Club, a daily-fee facility in Poipu, Hawaii on the island of Kauai. Troon Golf, the resort and daily-fee division of Troon, will oversee operations, agronomy, retail and sales and marketing.

Located in Poipu, near Kauai’s southern shore, Kiahuna Golf Club features an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones Jr-designed course. The 6,787-yard, par-70 course winds through lush tropical landscapes, lava rock formations, and ancient Hawaiian archeological sites, creating a one-of-a-kind blend of history and sport.

With warm ocean breezes, rolling fairways, and panoramic mountain views, Kiahuna is a scenic destination just minutes from world-class resorts and beaches.

Tom Donahue, Founder and CEO of True North Companies, owner of Kiahuna, said: “Kiahuna Golf Course is more than a place to play. It reflects rich history, natural beauty and people who have shaped it for generations.

“Our ownership group sought a partner committed to community, sustainability, best-in-class hospitality, and elevating the playing experience, all while honouring Kauai’s heritage. Troon shares that vision. Together, we aim to position Kiahuna as a standout daily-fee golf experience and a valued member of the community.”

In addition to the course, Kiahuna includes an expansive practice area and a clubhouse with a well-appointed golf shop and Paco’s Tacos Cantina. The 144-acre property originally opened in 1984, then was rebuilt in 1992 after being damaged by Hurricane Iniki.

Melissa Dupuis, Troon Director of Operations – Hawaii, said: “Kiahuna embodies 18 holes of Aloha, which are enriched by cultural landmarks such as ancient heiau and historic plantation remnants.

“We feel great gratitude and responsibility in beginning management of Kiahuna. We are committed to improving the guest experience, investing in sustainability and strengthening our connection with the island community.”
