There are lots of things to love about playing golf at Wailea, both on and off the course. Here are a few tips for making the most of your time at the award-winning Wailea Gold, Emerald, and Blue:
If you haven’t played the beautiful Blue lately, you’re way overdue. Both the course and its original clubhouse near The Shops at Wailea have recently completed an exciting renovation, meaning there’s an all-new experience to discover. Check in for your round at the Blue’s brand new pro shop, now located at 100 Wailea Ike Drive.
Wailea Golf Club’s rental club program is a sweet way to test-drive some of the great equipment on the market. Wailea features high quality TaylorMade clubs in their standard rental program, or for some of the hottest new products on the market, check out their premium rental club program.
The best place to find the best green fee deals at Wailea is at www.waileagolf.com, where the golf club often posts seasonal and unadvertised specials such as twilight and family rate deals. Their most popular offer is the Seahorse Swing: three days of unlimited golf on the Wailea Gold and/or Emerald at great savings compared to general public green fees. If three days aren’t enough, you can tack on more days at the same daily savings.
Other useful things you can find at www.waileagolf.com: FAQs, golf terminology, driving directions, hole-by-hole overviews, course maps, scorecards, plenty of scenic photos, and even information for couples looking for a wedding venue, and groups planners interested in a private golf event.
If your schedule is tight with limited flexibility for when you can play, be sure to book in advance online. Wailea Golf Club accepts reservations 30 days in advance; 45 days if you book at www.waileagolf.com.
Something else worth booking too: a pre- or post-round massage, healing session, or body stretch with the help of a trained therapist, on site at the Wailea Gold & Emerald Clubhouse. Maui Wellness Group offers a range of rejuvenating therapies for golfers including wellness consultations, reflexology, yoga for golfers, and more. Advance reservations required. Call or email for more information: 808-214-9696 or admin@mauiwg.com.
This may be a no-brainer, but bring along a camera. Wailea’s fairways were laid out along the foothills of Mt. Haleakala, meaning they’re at a perfect elevation for fantastic vistas of the ocean and island almost everywhere you look.
Before or after your round – or even on those in-between days when you don’t play golf – be sure to check out the 19th holes overlooking all three courses, including the fun-loving Mulligan’s on the Blue, where they serve up a healthy dose of “Irish Aloha,” and renowned Hawaii Chef Beverly Gannon’s popular and elegant eatery: Gannon’s, A Pacific View. And, while the Wailea’s clubhouse restaurants are spot-on for frosty post-round libations, don’t overlook their mouth-watering options for breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner.
