The Emerald Jewel of Maui: Wailea Emerald Course
Carved into the lush tropical landscape of Maui, the Wailea Emerald Course offers a golfing experience that's both delightful and scenic. Designed by the acclaimed Robert Trent Jones Jr., this 18-hole course stretches across 6,825 yards, inviting golfers of all skill levels to tee off amidst a vibrant tapestry of nature.
A Breath of Fresh Air for Golfers:
Unlike its championship-focused sibling, the Wailea Gold Course, the Emerald Course prioritizes playability and enjoyment. Wider fairways, multiple tee boxes (4 to 6 per hole), and fewer forced carries make it a welcoming course for golfers of all abilities. The emphasis is on having fun and soaking in the beauty of the surroundings.
Tropical Splendor at Every Turn:
As you navigate the course, you'll encounter sparkling water features, dramatic elevation changes, and captivating ocean views that stretch towards the horizon. The course itself becomes a visual feast.
A Legacy of Fun and Recognition:
The Wailea Emerald Course has garnered a reputation for being one of the most enjoyable courses in North America, particularly for women golfers. Upon its opening in 1994, Golf Magazine lauded it as one of the top 10 new courses in the country. This course is all about creating lasting memories on a beautiful Hawaiian backdrop.
Beyond the Green:
After conquering the Emerald's fairways, unwind at the clubhouse and savor the breathtaking views. The surrounding Wailea area beckons with its world-class resorts, pristine beaches like Wailea Beach, and a plethora of activities. Whether you seek relaxation or adventure, Wailea offers something for everyone.
