Wailea Golf Course, Maui Hawaii

Wailea Golf Club offers spectacular views of the Pacific
Ocean and a nearby dormant volcano. The Gold Course is the more
challenging, with its rugged, natural look. The course incorporates ancient lava
rock walls, stark rock outcroppings and gardens of indigenous grasses.
Strategically-situated bunkers and the undulating terrain demand strategy and
finesse to score well. "Golf Digest" ranked it the 7th "Best In State" course
in 1995-96. The Emerald Course has a distinctly tropical
flavor, and features abundant blossoms and beautiful landscaping. Designed to
by a fun layout for all golfers, this course has four to six tee boxes on every
hole, allowing players to tailor the course to their ability. This club has been
honored as one of the country's most female-friendly golf facilities by
"Golf for Women" magazine from 1996-99.

Gold Course ~ Wailea Maui
The home course of The Champions Skins Game, the 7,078-yard Wailea Gold is the most
challenging of Wailea’s trio, with a rugged and masterful design that takes advantage
of the terrain’s natural undulations. But four to six tee boxes on every hole also
make it a suitable track for virtually every player.
Created by architect Robert Trent Jones Jr., the Gold was honored by both Golf
Magazine and Golf Digest as one of the country’s ten best new resort courses when
it opened in 1994. It has also been recognized by the Maui Historical Society for
its preservation of prehistoric lava rock walls during construction, and hailed as
one of the world’s best designed courses by the readers of Conde Nast Traveler in
the magazine’s first golf resorts poll.
Called a “thinking player’s course,” the Gold offers a true test of one’s golf
skills. But the most difficult hazards on it are the distracting island views. In
one round, you can enjoy spectacular vistas of the ocean, Molokini islet, ancient
lava rock walls, coconut trees and sparkling white bunkers.

Emerald Course ~ Wailea Maui
Designed to be fun for practically every player, the 6,825-yard Wailea Emerald Course
was one reason Golf for Women Magazine first granted the Wailea Golf Club a Top
Fairways Award for the country’s most women-friendly golf clubs, an honor that
Wailea has won seven times.
The Emerald delights players with its carpet-like fairways, colorful foliage,
and numerous vistas of the Pacific Ocean and Mt. Haleakala. Relatively few forced
carries and kinder fairways are ideal for players who view golf as an enjoyable form
of recreation rather than a grueling test of concentration and precision. For players
seeking a greater challenge, four to six tee boxes on every hole allow them to tailor
the course to their skill level.
One of the more unusual features of the Emerald Course is the double green shared
by holes #10 and #17. The green borders a 2.7 million gallon brackish water lake and
is one of the most picturesque spots on the course.
