\nWailea Golf<\/strong>
\nGolfers, both beginners and experienced, will fill their days with Wailea Blue, Gold and Emerald, a total of 54 holes of championship golf. Vantage views of the dormant Mt. Haleakala may serve as a distraction, as will the updates and improvements in 2011 of the ponds and tees at Wailea Blue, revealing more of the native plants and flowers. Wailea Gold is called a \u201cthinking player\u2019s course\u201d and a great one for training yourself from thinking of work to shifting to the challenges on the course. Coconut trees, Molokini and ancient lava rock walls form the backdrop here. Wailea Emerald\u2019s unique facets are the draw, plus the Top Fairways Award for the most women-friendly golf clubs (Golf for Women magazine honor won seven times). The double green is shared by holes #10 and #17, a dramatically scenic spot alongside many more on all three courses.<\/p>\n
