Maui’s “must-play” place: Wailea Old Blue the legendary golf course designer, Arthur Jack Snyder, now lying at rest behind her 18th green, took his first historic steps across the lava paths that would become Jack’s “perfect blend of forgiveness and challenge,” The Wailea Old Blue Golf Club, more respectfully known as “Old Blue” and nicknamed by Jack as the “great lady of Wailea.” Old Blue, born in 1972, was one of the early compelling attractions that lured the world to the south shores of Maui and a community called Wailea, where more than ten days of rain is a bad-weather year. Today, Wailea is home to six world-class resort hotels and five crescent beaches with access to the finest of life’s indulgences in The Shops of Wailea and to an abundance of sports and entertainment on land, at sea and in the air. Highly ranked among these tropical pleasures are Wailea Old Blue and her sister courses, Wailea Emerald and Wailea Gold.
