IMPORTANT WARNING
Unfortunately, Internet scam artists are out there, so here are some very important things you should know about these sharp operators and copycat golf "deals" in Hawaii:
BEWARE OF HIGHER PRICES AND NO ADDED-VALUES!
No other company can beat HawaiiGolfDeals. Period. But the Internet scam artists try to make you believe they have the better deals. Frankly, they are NOT EVEN CLOSE! Do they offer better prices, unlimited golf and 90-day tee times at ALL courses? Never! Do they offer range balls and pro shop discounts at many locations? Not a chance!
BEWARE OF THOSE SAYING THEY HAVE A HAWAII GOLF CARD!
The exclusive HawaiiGolfDeals GOLF HAWAII CARD is your ticket to unbeatable Hawaii golf discounts and unlimited Hawaii golf. GOLF MAGAZINE has named the GOLF HAWAII CARD: "One of the Top-5 golf value cards in the nation." There is no other Hawaii golf card. Some tell you that a card program is coming even though none exists, thereby enticing you overpay for golf from them via other schemes. Don't take the bait!
BEWARE OF THE BAIT & SWITCH INTO HIGH-PRICED VOUCHERS!
The Internet scam artists grab innocent victims by promoting one thing and immediately try to switch you to another. Classic bait and switch! HawaiiGolfDeals appalls the bait and switch. We don't offer every course in Hawaii. We are only interested in REAL VALUE and unlimited golf. If we do not carry a course, we do not feel it is a value for our cardholders or the maintenance standards are below what we feel is acceptable. In other words, we won't take just any course in our program. That's why we have thousands of repeat customers.
BEWARE OF THE TOKEN DISCOUNT!
“Pretenders” are big on the token discount. If you're looking for $15-$20 off a “rack” rate of $210 for a round of golf, or $10 off a $135 rack—pretenders may have it. In fact, they promote it like it's their own heavily negotiated deal. But truth be told, that same token discount is generally available through your lodging property, or by telling the pro shop where you are staying, or even just by asking. Some courses, not included in our program, will even give you a standard (“token”) discount just by showing your GOLF HAWAII CARD. It never hurts to ask.
BEWARE OF TEE TIME SERVICES!
Tee time services are completely unnecessary and a totally unwarranted expense in Hawaii. Hawaii's golf courses have plenty of available tee times and charge you nothing to make one. Do not waste your time and money on a tee time service! When you subscribe to HawaiiGolfDeals, in addition to your personalized GOLF HAWAII CARD, you will receive a rate card that contains the phone numbers (toll-free whenever available) for every golf course in our program. From 90 days prior to the day you intend to play, you may make a tee time best suited for you and your party. Since our inception in 1994, we have NEVER had a cardholder who could not get a satisfactory tee time. NOT ONCE have we even had a complaint.
DON'T BUY HAWAII GOLF FROM VENDORS WHO SELL GOLF EVERYWHERE!
Lets face it, if you sell golf everywhere, you cannot be an expert anywhere. Buying from companies that sell golf rounds nationally or internationally will rarely get you the best deal and will never deliver the best advice. How can they? Some operator is sitting in the middle of wherever the cheapest labor pool is and trying to direct you from a screen of notes. HawaiiGolfDeals sells only Hawaii and we have been the biggest deliver of visitor golf rounds since 1994.
BEWARE OF ANY WEBSITE THAT DOES NOT TELL YOU WHO STANDS BEHIND IT!
On any website, look for an ABOUT US page. If none exists, or a short statement leaves you with no clue as to who is standing behind the product(s), be very wary and leave the site immediately! Those who purport to offer discounts on Hawaii golf and golf packages and DO NOT tell you anything about themselves are hiding something. Conversely, please visit and read our ABOUT US. Since 1994, we stand behind and in front of what we sell. Here on HawaiiGolfDeals.com, you can reach us via online CONTACT US options, as well as via toll-free numbers to call or send faxes. We have names, let you know them and are proud to be here to serve you.
Mahalo for listening and please be wary of unscrupulous online operators.
