The Pearl Country Club on Oahu in the Hawaiian Islands overlooks beautiful Pearl Harbor. With views of the USS Arizona Memorial and the Waianae Mountain Range to the west, this public golf course offers beautiful views just 20 minutes from Waikiki.
The course is also home to the annual Hawaii Pearl Open Golf Tournament.
This large bolder, was said to have been a favorite resting place for ancient Hawaiian kings, during strolls overlooking Pearl Harbor.
According to ancient folklore, and the words of an kahuna (Hawaiian priestess), this rock is married to the Leguminosae (or Fabaceae) tree seen in the background, and should therefore never be moved.
