On Kaua‘i’s North Shore the 2026 US OPEN: ProAm Tournament lands on the manicured greens of Anaina Hou’s award-winning Kaua'i Miniature Golf and Botanical Garden at 5-2723 Kuhio Hwy, Kilauea, HI 96754. Teams of four will take to an 18-hole botanical course that threads through tropical plantings, lava-rock accents, decorative ponds, and sculpted mounds. Paired with a United States ProMiniGolf Association professional, amateur players get a rare inside look at pro strategy while competing for charity-driven prizes and island bragging rights. The course itself is the trip’s central character: small-scale architecture—bridges, rockwork, and water features—set against stands of plumeria, hala, and broad-leaved ornamentals. Tropical songbirds and the occasional feral chicken add local color; coastal trade winds can change reads on putts from hole to hole, which makes local knowledge and a cool head valuable. Accessibility is a practical strength here—Anaina Hou’s facility is ADA Accessible and designed to host community events, which makes the Pro/Am welcoming for mixed-ability teams and spectators. This event doubles as a cultural and community occasion. Funds raised support Kaua‘i Mini Golf improvements, internship and youth program scholarships at Anaina Hou, and expanded recreation for residents. On Friday the Pro/Am format emphasizes networking and fun—post-round pūpūs on the Lanai, casual mingling with professionals, and live scoring during the weekend’s main tournament rounds. The main tournament runs Saturday and Sunday with rounds culminating at the Porter Pavilion, where awards, sponsor recognition, and Hawaiian music round out the weekend. Practicalities are tidy: check-in is at Kaua'i Miniature Golf and Botanical Garden’s Mini Golf entrance; teams should arrive together and bring the registered team name for verification. Complimentary parking is available on-site. Important booking notes: registration for the Pro/Am requires a team buy-in by April 30, 2026; all sales are final and the event proceeds rain or shine. Standard mini golf putters and balls are provided, but players should bring supportive footwear, sun protection, and a light rain layer for sudden island showers. Why come? Beyond the competitive format, the Pro/Am is a concentrated dose of North Shore Kaua‘i spirit—competition mixed with aloha, botanical scenery, and meaningful local impact. For visitors seeking an accessible, social outdoor event that’s photogenic and fast-paced, the 2026 US OPEN: ProAm Tournament at Anaina Hou offers both a sporting challenge and a way to plug into Kaua‘i’s recreation community. Pack a small camera or phone with spare battery; signature holes photograph well in morning light. Spectators should plan for shade, sunscreen, and comfortable seating. Local vendors often serve refreshments, and arriving early rewards you with front-row views of trick putts and close competitions. This is one island event that combines sport, community, and a clear taste of Kaua‘i hospitality. Bring team spirit and aloha.
