The luxury area of Wailea is home to the Wailea Golf Club, which houses three equally impressive courses for you to hone your skills.
Wailea Emerald Course
The Wailea Emerald Course is considered to be one of Wailea Golf’s more leisurely courses, awarding golfers, ocean views from every hole and carpet-like fairways.

If you’re looking to push your golf abilities, this is the course for you. Difficulties include lakes, narrow driving alleys and fairways, and lava rock!
