This years tournament will be played on four fabulous courses:

Makena North | Wailea Blue | Wailea Emerald | Wailea Gold

Makena North

Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., the Makena Golf Course opened in 1993 to rave reviews. The Makena Golf Course feels more like a nature walk than a golf course, with captivating mountain views of Haleakala Crater and sweeping views of the blue Pacific Ocean. Hawaiian rock walls remain where they were found, and natural gullies and stream beds have been left in their natural state.

Makena North has two signature holes. The 177 yard par 3 7th hole and the 620 yard par 5 14th.

Wailea Blue

From an era when character defined the golf course, Wailea Old Blue offers up a golf experience that is truly classic. As the first thing ever built in Wailea, the Old Blue laid claim to the land that would put Wailea on everyone’s wish list of places to visit.

As the “Grand Lady of Wailea” , the Old Blue is the perfect hostess. She guides her guests on a tour of the resort while serving up views of the neighboring islands on one side and 10,023 ft dormant volcano Mt.  Haleakala on the other. While captivating with her beauty, she entertains with her classic design. Players of all levels will come away form a round on the Old Blue wanting to accept her invitation to play again. Now, after all these years, the Old Blue continues to welcome back many golfers who feel that a trip to Maui is not complete without a round or two on the Old Blue.

Wailea Emerald

Designed to be fun for practically every player, the 6,825 yard Wailea Emerald Course was one reason Golf for Women Magazine first granted the Wailea Golf Club a Top Fairway Award for the country’s most women-friendly golf clubs, an honor that Wailea has won seven times.

The Emerald delights players with its carpet-like fairways, colorful foliage, and numerous vistas of the Pacific Ocean and Mt. Haleakala. Relatively few forced carries and kinder fairways are ideal for players who view golf as and enjoyable form of recreation rather than a grueling test of concentration and precision. For players seeking a greater challenge, four to six tee boxes on every hole allow them to tailer  the course to their skill level.

Wailea Gold

The home course of The Championship Skins gram from 2001 to 2007, the 7,078 yard Wailea Gold is the most challenging of Wailea’s trio, with a rugged and masterful design that takes advantage of the terrain’s natural undulations. But four to six tee boxes on every hole also make it a suitable track for virtually every player.

Created by architect Robert Trent Jones II, the Gold was honored by both Golf Magazine and Golf Digest as one of the country’s ten best new resort courses when it opened in 1994. It has also been recognized by the Maui Historical Society for its preservation of prehistorical lava rock walls during construction, and hailed as one of the world’s best designed courses by the readers of Conde Nast Traveler in the magazine’s first golf resort poll.

Called a “thinking player’s course,” the Golf offers a true test of one’s golf skills. But the most difficult hazards on it are the distracting island views. In one round, you can enjoy spectacular vistas of the ocean, Molokini islet, ancient lava rock walls, coconut trees and sparkling white bunkers.
