Hawaii has to be one of the best places in the world to go if you are a golfer. The topography, growing conditions and mild climate lend themselves to lush green fairways with more than 80 courses on six islands with locations in some of the best resorts in the world. The Kapalua Resort Course in Maui is probably the best nationally known golf resort in Hawaii. It hosts the Kapalua Mecedes Championship which is played in January. There are also the Bay and Village Courses and the Plantation Course.
The Wailea Resort is one of the best places to play golf in Hawaii. There are three resort courses: the Blue Course and the Emerald and Gold Courses. All three have exceptional views of the Pacific and the Middle Hawaiian Islands.
The Lanai Resort offers quality and seclusion at its two courses: The Experience at Koele, designed by Ted Robinson and Greg Norman, and The Challenge at Manele, a wonderful effort by Jack Nicklaus with ocean views from every hole, both ranked among the best Hawaii fields. .
The island of Kauai offers a golf course like no other. The Princeville Bead & Breakfast sits on 480 feet of fabulous fairway on Princeville’s world-class golf course. It’s like being in the Garden of Eden and has a guest living room, dining room, and a lanai that leads to terraces and private entrances to all rooms.
In addition to golf and to make your golf vacation even more enjoyable, there are many types of hotels, shopping malls, beaches, and activities to partake in between rounds of golf.
