The Plantation Course at Kapalua offers expansive ocean views and hosted The Sentry, a $20 million PGA Tour signature event for decades. Persistent drought and the aftermath of the deadly 2023 Lahaina wildfire strained water supplies, causing fairways and greens to brown and forcing the PGA Tour to cancel the season opener, an estimated $50 million economic loss. A two-month closure and rain allowed reopening of 17 holes, with the 18th set to reopen soon. Owners and residents filed a lawsuit alleging Maui Land & Pineapple failed to maintain century-old irrigation ditches, raising legal and climate-related questions about the course's future and tournament viability.
