Wailea Golf Life
Across Maui, there are some fantastic golf courses to enjoy and is another one of the many draws the Valley Isle possesses. Maui residents and its visitors are extremely blessed to be able to choose from the number of world-class golf courses, ranging from Wailea and Makena (South Maui) to Kaananapli and Kapalua (West Maui). The Kapalua Plantation course annually hosts the PGA Tournament of Champions and is fantastic round of golf to play.
Membership to the Wailea Golf Courses comes at a premium but the owner benefits associated with membership can be quite enjoyable. That being said, the Kama’aina (Hawaii resident, usually requires valid Hawaii ID for verification) rates offered at the courses are frequently lower than the Wailea property owner rates. For non residents, Wailea property ownership is a great alternative to substantial saving on the Wailea golf courses fees.
Qualifying For Golf Privileges
The golf privilege eligibility can sometimes get complex due to the intricacies of qualification and strict procedure guidelines. Eligibility across the Wailea Resort is not uniform and varies depending upon ownership in a condo complex or subdivision.
Ownership in one condo complex or subdivision of properties qualify the owner for membership in the Wailea Golf Club and eligible for reduced property owner rates (should the owner choose not to join the Club). Ownership in an additional set of properties provides the owner with the reduced property owner rates, without eligibility for membership in the Wailea Golf Club.
There are a select few properties that are not eligible for either benefit. The two courses designated for club membership and property owner privileges are the Wailea Gold Course and the Wailea Old Blue Course.

Each of the Wailea courses play very differently, offering a wide range of possible playing styles, but all of them enjoy unbelievable ocean and Wailea views.
