The 7th hole on the golf course you tee off from the highest point of the course and play down towards the ocean through a collapsed lava tube. Where the tube is collapsed the fairway is only 20yds wide, with two walls of lava on each side, most players play over the lava, some have to play through. This is a natural formation that Jack Nicklaus chose to keep on the course to make it interesting and challenging.
The 12th hole is the shortest hole on the course and is a par 3. This has the largest green, with a sand trap in the middle of the green. Jack Nicklaus is known as the golden bear. Therefore this bunker is called the “bear trap.”
