Sony Open in Hawaii 2024 Scorecard For Waialae Country Club

The Sony Open in Hawaii 2024 is set to tee off at Waialae Country Club this weekend. It’s the only course on the PGA Tour that was created by golf architect legend Seth Raynor.

The course at Waialae Country Club is a Golden Age golf course that requires a lot of skill. It requires great ball striking and a ton of accuracy off of the tee. The fairways aren’t as big and the greens are significantly smaller than the Kapalua Plantation Course, which makes the short-to-intermediate game a key to winning at the course. Waialae has tons of natural hazards, including trees and bunkers, which will only add to the difficulty of the course.

Below, we’ll give an overview of the Waialae Country Club course, including a summary of the front and back nine and the scorecard for the 2024 Sony Open.
