Kapalua Plantation Course, Maui, Hawaii golf
Download the PDF here. (Only current month PDF available)
Last month, I said that Wailea just might have the best golf on Maui. Well, while that may be true, Kapalua gives them a run for their nassau. Wailea has an extra course and, usually, better weather, but Kapalua has the Plantation Course. This bruiser is simply bad-a$$. It’s long, it has giant greens, relentless winds, wonderful views…truly it is the apex of golf in Hawaii.
It may not be for the faint of heart, but it’s perfect for the Golf Fanatic!

Wailea Emerald Course, Maui, Hawaii
Maui just might be the center of Hawaii’s golfing world, and Wailea is where lots of us go to find the best in Maui golf. Wailea’s Emerald Course isn’t its most difficult (that would be the Gold) or its most historic (the Old Blue), but’s it’s definitely the most scenic. Fantastic landscaping, sweeping vistas, and perfect weather are the hallmarks of golf at the Emerald. And the Robert Trent Jones, Jr. design is a blast to play, too. This is one you don’t want to miss.

Luana Hills County Club, Oahu, Hawaii
Download the PDF here.
Luana Hills is Oahu’s “other” diabolical rainforest course, but it gives neighboring Ko’olau a run for its money. This Pete and Perry Dye design is funky and somewhat oddly paced, which can be attributed to its beginnings, when it was two different courses. But the misty green jungle and twisting, tortuous holes make up for any irregularities. This course is largely off of the tourist map, so it can be a great place to escape the crowds, too. Bring balls, a jacket, and your Aloha Spirit, and you’ll discover an out-of-the-way gem.
