The Wailea Golf Club encompasses two clubhouses, a 12-acre training facility and three 18-hole, championship courses: Blue, Emerald and Gold. Each February the club hosts the televised Champions Skins Game at Wailea, featuring a foursome of the most popular players on the PGA Champions Tour.
Wailea Blue
With a four-star rating by Golf Digest, Wailea Blue is considered one of the best golf courses in the United States. Designed by Arthur Jack Snyder, this par-72, 6,758-yard course features its own clubhouse, pro shop, restaurant, lockers, private lessons and warm-up area.
Set among luxury homes, this fun, relaxing course is a quintessential Hawaii golf course. Wailea Blue's wide, manicured fairways flow with the natural undulations of the volcanic foothills underneath, interrupted here and there by bunkers of coral sand, four small lakes and trickling fountains. Tropical hibiscus, coconuts, plumeria and bougainvillea dot the landscape. Buttonwood trees, strategically placed on each hole, signal 150 yards to the green. You'll enjoy unobstructed views of several offshore islands, the mountains of West Maui and the warm island waters where humpback whales come each winter to give birth to their young.
Wailea Gold
The par-72, 7,078-yard Wailea Gold Course is rated a 4.5-star course by Golf Digest and shares an award-winning clubhouse with Wailea Emerald. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., this championship Maui golf course is home of the PGA Champions Skins Game.
Featuring narrow fairways, several tricky doglegs, natural hazards and lava-rock walls, Wailea Gold can provide challenging play. But, with a relatively open layout, breathtaking views of the ocean from every hole, and only one small water body on the entire course, you're also sure to have lots of fun. The course has four to six tee boxes on every hole, manageable roughs and superb turf that rolls like carpeting over the gentle slopes.
Wailea Emerald
The newest and most popular of Wailea's courses, Wailea Emerald has been named a top 10 new resort course by Golf Digest, a best new course by both Golf Magazine and The Golfer, and one of the most women-friendly by Golf for Women. This par-72, 6,825-yard, Robert Trent Jones Jr. Maui golf course features a player-friendly design created for pure enjoyment of the game, regardless of your handicap. With four to six tee boxes on every hole, you can tailor the course to your own playing level.
The Wailea Emerald is a lush tropical playground, with an abundance of gorgeous ocean vistas and blooming flowers: plumeria, bird of paradise, allamanda, gazenia, bougainvillea, beach morning glory, "firecracker" plants and more. But don't be fooled by its sweet appearance. The championship Wailea Emerald offers plenty of challenge, too.
