Planning a Big Island getaway for Thanksgiving weekend? Looking for something fun and different to do while you’re here? Whether you’re an experienced golfer or someone who only occasionally picks up a club, late November offers a great opportunity to get outside. Enjoy the beautiful Kohala Coast, and meet some of the people who make Hawaiʻi Island such a special place.
On Saturday, November 28, 2026, the Hawaiʻi Team Community Impact Golf Tournament will take place at Mauna Lani Golf Course. The tournament is more than a day on the course—it is a platform for philanthropy and collective giving, uniting the community around causes that create real, lasting change.
You don’t have to be a serious golfer to join in. The scramble format makes this a relaxed and social way to enjoy a round, making it especially welcoming for casual and beginner golfers. You’ll play as a team, enjoy the course, and take part in a day focused on fun and community rather than competition.
This year’s event benefits Autism Moms of Kona and Full Life Hawaiʻi, two organizations providing programs ranging from early intervention and family support to employment opportunities, independent living skills, recreation, and community integration.
Golfers can register individually or as a foursome. Early-bird pricing is $225 per golfer or $700 per foursome, with standard pricing at $250 per golfer or $800 per foursome. Registration includes green fees, a golf cart, lunch, tournament contests, an awards reception, and a swag bag.
