Exploring
Maui
Got golf on your mind? When it comes to the world’s most alluring golf destination, no one’s got a scorecard quite like Maui’s. Four of the world’s most famous resort destinations line the island’s northern, western and southern shorelines. Collectively, they house nine award-winning courses, each rated 3.5 stars. Each course is practically a long wedge shot from the luxurious accommodations within its home resort. All have countless panoramic views and all are within an hour’s drive of each other along a gorgeous, tropical coastline. Small wonder that, for golfers, Maui is the equivalent of a long, straight drive off the tee, with a guaranteed eagle waiting at the end of it.
Aside from their renowned beauty and comfort, Maui’s resorts and their accompanying golf courses offer virtually everything a person would desire on an ultimate golf vacation. Low handicappers will feel at home on courses where tour professionals have won and lost. Duffers will find hospitable fairways that won’t always punish their frequently errant shots. There are courses that glide near the ocean for those who like to swing with the rhythm of the surf, and holes that climb the volcanic slopes of Haleakalä, and then open up to fantastic vistas of the Pacific and Maui’s neighbor islands of Läna‘i and Moloka‘i. Fore! For more information call 800-525-MAUI or go to visitmaui.com
