You will discover a golf course that is immaculately maintained, brilliantly designed, and simply a superb test of golf in every way.

Ka'anapali Kai Course was originally created as an executive course and was later redesigned by architect Arthur Jack Snyder in 1976. At 6,400 yards, the Par 70 course is a more forgiving golf course with subtle, undulating greens that accomodates all levels of play.

The land which Ka'anapali Golf Courses was founded, originally housed a sugar cane plantation. Players will see the Sugar Cane Train steam past several holes on the course (now used for tours) and are reminded of Hawaii's rich culture and history.

Uniquely positioned on the the slopes of the West Maui Mountains, this world-class layout affords stunning views of majestic Haleakala and the sapphire Pacific. Carved out of the foothills of the scenic West Maui Mountains, the design of Kahili Golf Course takes advantage of the local terrain and Hawaiian Tradewinds to create a unique golf experience.

Arnold Palmer and Francis Duane designed The Bay Course. The forerunner of Kapalua's three championship golf courses, The Bay Course is a 6,600-yard par 72 with gently rolling fairways and generous greens. The Bay Course is an excellent example of resort golf at its best.

The par 73, 7,411-yard Plantation Course, is the course of the champions, site of the PGA TOUR Mercedes Championships each January featuring an elite field of previous year's PGA TOUR winners.

Kapalua's second Arnold Palmer design layout, The Village Course, twists, turns, rises and falls through the West Maui foothills. A serene trek through Hawaiian headlands, stands of Cook and Norfolk pines characterize this par 70 6,317-yard course.

Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., the Makena North Course opened in 1993 to rave reviews. The North Course feels more like a nature walk than a golf course, with captivating mountain views of Haleakala Crater and sweeping views of the blue Pacific Ocean.

Sharing the spirit that embodies the Makena Resort, the South Course provides the serenity and tranquility many golfers are looking for. With its natural rolling fairways, undulating greens, and breathtaking views of the ocean and mountains, the South Course is a favorite among many Maui golfers.

Set in the rolling hillsides of "up-country" Maui, Pukalani Country Club overlooks the Pacific Ocean and the rest of the Valley Isle of Maui from 1,100 foot level of Mount Haleakala, an extinct volcano whose name in Hawaiian means "House of the Rising Sun".

Rated one of the "best new courses" by Golf Magazine and Golf Digest, as well as "one of North America's most women-friendly" by Golf for Women, the Wailea Emerald is akin to a lush tropical playground.
