Hokuli’a, a spectacular private residential enclave on Hawai`i Island, has announced the appointment of Barry Bevers as the Club’s new General Manager. Following a successful year of real estate sales, and a recent golf course renovation and amenities upgrades, Bevers will lead operations of Hokuli’a and its continued trajectory as one of the top clubs in Hawai`i.
