| STEVE,
I HAVE HEARD OF THE ORANGE AND BLUE COURSES AT WAILEA. ARE THESE
PART OF AN HOTEL COMPLEX OR DOES ONE HAVE TO PAY GREEN FEES. WE
WOULD PREFER AN ALL IN TYPE OF ARRANGEMENT IF POSSIBLE. I DONT
KNOW IF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN TO INNISBROOK GOLF RESORT IN FLORIDA
BUT THEY OFFER THAT TYPE OF FACILITY. LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR COMMENTS
THANKS

| Maui is a great place for golf, Kapalua is a very nice area. There
are many courses to choose from, as mentioned in the previous replies,
Wailea blue and orange courses are nice they are past Kihei, (on
the south east side) if you go past Wailea you will hit Silver Sword
it is a very new course, if you go further you have Makena which
is $55 and a very nice course on the ocean by the Maui Prince hotel.
Right by where you're staying is Kapalua with the Bay course and the
Village course both are very nice but cost about $90 a round. Not
to far from there is Kaanapali which is expensive like Kapalua.
If you want a warmup round before you hit the resort courses there
is Pukalani Country Club which is a municipal 18 hole course, not
bad but doen't rank with the resort courses.
Have fun and enjoy the scenery, also try Kimo's resturant on Front
street in Lahina, good food!

| re: .2
The Wailea courses are open to the public - they are less expensive
for people staying in the condos (or in the International Hotel?),
though. Can't remember the prices at this point, but I'd recommend
splurging if necessary as the Maui courses are some of the nicest
anywhere.
re: .3
There are several good restaurants in Lahaina, including Kimo's -
have fun!
Think about going on a helicopter ride (expensive, but fun - and
worth it), and on a snorkling trip.

Another good place to eat in Lahina is Longhii's right on the
main drag. Dont forget to post your trip report. We are starting
to plan a vacation to Hawaii for this winter. Kapalua is on my
list.

Try Kapalua Bay, the course was great, I played around three in
the afternoon, it cost about 70 dollars but it was well worth it.
If your interested in an all day sail on a 52' catamaran out to
the Island on lania(sp) try the Trilogy III it was a good time,
full barbecue for lunch, snorkeling and a quick tour around the
island.

| After playing every course on the island during my honeymoon, I
kept going back to the Village course at Kapalua. The Bay course
is the one they hold the tournament on, but only because it can
accomodate galleries. The Village course has a links flavor and
is golf at its absolute finest. If I could only play one course for
the rest of my life, if would be either Kapalua, Pebble, or Cypress.
I second the recommendation on the helicopter trip. It's a must.
Take the trip that goes to Moloki. Have a great trip.

Wow, I am impressed. Did your bride know what she was getting into
before the ceremony? I thought I did well playing once on my
honeymoon.
(There are at least 6 resort courses on Maui, for those of you who haven't
been there.)

| I am planning a Golf Honeymoon in Hawaii (June). I've looked at a
whole bunch of borchures, and the prices seem to be all within a
few dollars of each other whether I choose a package deal or not.
We are interested in visiting Maui, Kauai, and Hawaii islands. We want
to stay anywhere from 2 to 3 weeks and have a budget of $7k...
So far we picked Maui inter-continental in Maui, Mauna Lani point (condo)
in Hawaii, and Sheraton princeville or Hanalei Resort in Kauai. Hanalei
resort is only half as expensive as Sharton Princevill and they are
in the same area of the island and offer the same golf courses. Is
there anything bad about the hotel? Are there any bad courses in
the entire Hawaiian island where I am going to regret choosing the
hotel/course? Also, we don't want to go to a place where people(guests
and hosts) are all stuck up!
The Kiahuna in Kauai seems to be one of the lower priced golf courses.
Did anyone play there?
I am looking at two agents "Classic Hawaii" and "Golf about Hawaii".
Did anyone book a vacation with anyone of the above?
One last question, Which of the 3 islands is best for helicoptor tour?
We can only offord one tour...
God, soooo many questions, so many choices, I just can't decide!

My wife & I are visiting the same 3 islands in February. This will be
our third visit to Hawaii. Two weeks is the minimum time for three
islands.

They were just building the Sheraton when we were there last. It has
have a beautiful view of Hanalei Bay. One of the pictures that you
often see of Princevill is of a par 3 from an elevated tee to the
green below fronted by a pond with Hanalei Bay in the distance.
Well they built the Sheraton between the green & the view of the bay,
what a shame.
Princeville is a large resort property with several hotels & condos
available to rent from. You may want to shop around because you
can get some good deals in the off season. (The weather was great
in June, generally 80 degress, trade wind, the occassional passing
rain shower (which is usually one large cloud that comes & coes in
less than 5 mins.))
When we visited Princeville had 27 holes, but I think that they have
opened 18 more. A great hole is #7 on the the (Ocean?/Woods?) nine.
It's a par 3 you hit from one tall cliff, across an inlet of the
ocean, to the green on the other side. (Don't worry, it's not
to long & there is plenty of room to chicken out if you want to.)
The fun thing about the hole that you generally don't pick up the
first time you play it is that the prevailing trade wind blows your
ball out to sea.
. One last question, Which of the 3 islands is best for helicoptor tour?
. We can only offord one tour...
We took the helicopter tour on Kuaui. I agree with -.1 between Kuaui &
Maui it's probably the better island to see from the air. There are
several interesting sites you can see from the air that you won't see
from the ground, like the Na Pali coast.
. God, soooo many questions, so many choices, I just can't decide!
A couple of suggestions; I generally found that there is so much to
do & see in Hawaii that there isn't time to golf everyday. (And that's
from someone who's general vacation requirment is 18 a day minimum on
vacation.) So you may want to factor that in when evaluating packages.
Vacations in Hawaii can get expensive (as your budget shows). To help
keep down our expenses we generally rent a condo & eat breakfasts &
sum lunches in. Meals can quickly bust your budget in Hawaii so you
may want to factor that into your plans in advance.) Also we found
that we spend very little time in our room so you may want to consider
a moderately priced room in a nice area to serve as your base of
action.
I know how you feel about choices/questions. We like to do a lot of
our own travel arranging in advance the fun part is doing all that
reading & figuring out what we want to see/do. Feel free to send
me mail if you have questions.
