I'i Brown created a golf course that is modern and unmistakenly Hawaiian at the same time. The course was built on the land that once belonged to Hawaiian royalty and still contains some archeological sites and ancient fishpond.    This place is uncommonly beautiful and full of contrasts - black lava, blue ocean, green faiways and tree-lined lagoons. In fact, Francis H. I'i Brown Course was named "one of the most beautiful seaside golf courses in the world" by Golf Magazine.    The course is challenging for both amateurs and pros. It consists of two 18-hole complexes, The South and North Course. The South Course is built on rugged lava and surrounded by mountain and ocean views. The North Course has many mesquite trees and rolling terrain. Herds of feral goats frequent both courses, moving from hole to hole throughout the day.
