378.1 | Some Suggestions | GENRAL::BALDRIDGE | All in a day's work | Thu Sep 01 1988 14:37 | 23 |
| I had the pleasure of playing several "public" courses on both Oahu
and Maui. Let me offer some suggestions:
1. Oahu: Take the highway from Honolulu to Kailua, just after crossing
over the Pali near the bottom of the hill is an excellent Parks
and Rec course (forget the name). Very demanding and very reasonable
in cost.
2. Oahu: On the backside of Diamond Head is the Hawaii Kai development
started by Henry J. Kaiser many years ago. The course there is
excelllent and also reasonably priced.
3. Oahu: South of Kailua (forget the town) there is another public
course called Olomana. Doesn't seem to be very well known as it
wasn't crowded at all. Quite challenging and also reasonably priced.
4. Maui: (My favorite island) In what is called the "up country"
on the side of Haleakala, is one of my favorites called Pukalani.
Very tough (and VERY windy).
5. Maui: If you are REALLY flush, there is Kapalua in the upper
end of the Island and a relative new PRICEY course on the Southwestern
edge of the Island (again forget the name).
Hope this helps. Send Vaxmail if you want to discuss further.

I also golfed many courses on Oahu and Kuai back in FEB.
I will second the motion of Hawaii-Kai a fine course that is
usaully easy to get on. They also have an executive par3 which I
played the first day of my stay to get the rythm going. (Of course
I hadn't played in a month being FEB). Please call as soon as you
can for a tee time a the Arnold Palmer/ Turtle Bay Hilton. I called
2 months ahead, being a single, and they were able to pair me up
without a prob GREAT COUSRE!!!!!. They also give horseback rides
on the beach. I sent my wife on one. It takes as long as 9 holes.
When I made the flip I picked her up and sh drove the back 9. Very
accomadating people there.
If your staying on wikiki, there's a public course just round the
courer called Ali-Wai. Very cheap, however, as I found out the early
bird gets to play. If you get in line at 5:00am you probably tee
off round 7 - 7:30 which is great because they have a good breakfast
and a putting green to warm you up.

378.3 | Hawaii Golf- can't beat it!! | CSTEAM::KAYA | | Thu Jun 22 1989 17:22 | 40 |
| Although this note is fairly old by now for anyone else that looks
in here for info on Hawaii golf here are some more courses.
Maui: Kapalua - 2 Courses, Bay and Village I believe it is $90
to play. Fortunatly I get on for free, my cousin is one of the
pro's there. I liked the Bay course but both are awesome!
Wailea - There are 2 courses here, Orange and Blue. Both are very
nice and everytime I've played them it hasn't been crowded. Price
I believe is around $60, Again my Cousin arranges this so I'm not
sure of the full price.
Makena - $55 , Guests at the Maui Prince $40 this course is very
nice also, on the ocean.
Silversword - Price ? Fairly new course, haven't played it but looks
nice although needs to mature.
Kaanipali - haven't played this one but it is big bucks like Kapalua.
Kaanipali and Kapalua are past Lahina on the west side, Makena,
Wailea and silver sword are all past Kihei on the south east side.
Oahu:
Public courses, Pali CC., Olomano, Pearl CC, Hawaii Kai, Ala wei
It's more crowded at the courses on Oahu.
If you were in the service you can get on to Hickham airforce base
course.
Turtle Bay is nice, Sheraton Makaha course is very nice and of course
Wailei Country Club, home of the Hawaiian Open is awesome, well
groomed, fast greens etc. but you need to know a member to play
it.
Haven't been to Oahu for a few years so I don't know the prices.

378.5 | Big Island links | DELREY::KLAREN_JO | Watch out for that Gravitystorm! | Fri Jun 22 1990 01:07 | 8 |
| Hello! I am going to the big island (otherwise known as Hawaii) next
Tuesday. I would really appreciate if any one out there has any advise
on where to play and any interesting anecdotes. So far, in note 121.40,
I've heard mention of Waikoloa Vg, Maunu Kea, Mauna Lani and Volcano
Golf CC. I'll be staying at the Hyatt Regency Waikoloa.
Much thanks,
John

| re: .5
My wife and I played Waikoloa Village back in May. Nice course,
somewhat hilly. The fairways are wide enough so that if you're a
slicer like me you don't get into too much trouble. The thing that
really struck us about the place (as well as the course we played
on Maui) was that the place was EMPTY. We played 18 holes in about
3 hours. Coming from New England, that was a real treat. The course
is located up in the hills about 7 miles from your hotel. Greens fees
were about $45.00.
Also, right next to your hotel is the Waikoloa Beach course. Looked
awesome. Greens fees about $100.00 (but maybe less for hotel guests).
Mauna Kea, which is north of where you're staying, was recommended
to us by a bellhop at our hotel on Maui (he was loading our bags and
said "where ya goin'?"). We didn't get a chance to play there, however.
Anyway, he said the place was incredible, and from the pictures I've
seen, I'd have to agree.
We drove by Volcano when we were at the National Park, the place
looked real crowded.
As for your hotel, everyone says it's fabulous. We didn't stay
there, but we did stay at the Hyatt Regency on Maui, which was a
georgous place. I've heard the Hyatt Regency Waokoloa is even better.
Enjoy, and bring sacks of money!!!

| Just replying here to create gops of envy. I am flying out tomorrow
morning to Oahu on Digital !! They need some engineers to fill in while
the local guys go off on a DEC excellence weekend on the big island.
I have four courses already scoped that say getting a single on is
no problem, my clubs are packed, and my girlfriend says "play all
you want, I'll be on the beach " !!!! I plan to play Ko Olina , Pali
cc, Pearl Country Club, and the Sheraton Makaha course. Have checked
prices and I'm glad DEC is picking up everything else !!! Two courses
charge $130, one is $70, and the one muni is $35 for tourists.
Aloha !!!!!!!!!!

378.9 | Honeymoon golfing | AYRPLN::KISER | | Tue Apr 13 1993 17:06 | 11 |

My fiancee and I are going to Oahu and Maui
for our Honeymoon and we were wondering if
anyone had any suggestions for new golfers. We
are both a little below average for skill, but
we love to play and I have read so much about how
beautiful it is. Any suggestion would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew Kiser

| I just spent my honeymoon on Maui last fall. My wife is a new golfer and we
played all of their courses several times. The new course at Kapalua is
something that no one in Maui should miss. It is not only one of the prettiest
golf courses I have ever seen, but is one of the prettiest places period. It
also happens to be a spectacular golf course. It is where the pro's play the
Kapalua International (they were there a week after I was). The course was
extremely enjoyable for both myself (a longtime player) and my wife.
The only drawback is that it is rather expensive (I don't remember exactly how
much because I was on a golf package, but I think it runs around $100). If you
can make it over there, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
They also have a restaurant in the clubhouse that has an incredible view of
Kapalua Bay and the sunset over the ocean.
Good Luck,
Evan

| I was never really motivated to play in Hawaii, but when I saw Kapalua
on TV, I was overcome! What a breathtaking course!

| I was in Maui/Kauai three years ago for my honeymoon and Hawaii/Maui
last November. I would strongly recommend the new Kapalua course,
Wailea (orange course) and Makena. Wailea and Makena is about 5
minutes apart near Hyatt Grand Wailea hotel.
Personally, I liked the Makena best for its scenery. There are few
holes that are breathtaking. One par 3 is elevated tee looking down
the green with ocean and molokini island in the background. Also if
you like to hit the beach, the one next to Makena course is the best in
Maui. (We found it through local folks on our honeymoon and this is
where the locals go) Even last november, with several giant hotels now
open in the area, this beach was not crowded at all. The water was
clear, high waves with molokini in background. (BTW take a day to
snorkol at molokini, you'll love it)
The Wailea orange course is rated top 75 resort course by Golf Digest.
Be sure to reserve tee times in advance. It's always busy. I remember
the Orange went for about $140 and Blue for $120 (I think)
In addition, the Kaanapali courses aren't bad either.
All in all, you'll enjoy wherever you play.
Have great one.
