The slightly upscale image that's been carefully crafted in travel annals IS what you'll find when you arrive on the second largest Hawaiian Island. Those who live there say: Maui no ka oi—Maui is the best. Those who visit will be transfixed by the beaches, a majestic volcano and divine cuisine.
The "Valley Isle" is actually two islands created by two volcanoes and connected by a fertile isthmus. West Maui, formed by the Pu’u Kukui volcano, is remarkably different from the South side. South Maui is set at the base of the world's largest dormant (not extinct) volcano, Haleakala ("House of the Sun"), which reaches over 10,000 feet to the sky.
The pristine quietude of the Wailea Resort more often succumbs to the lively sound of metal striking dimpled sphere rather than the engines of cars or aircraft. Such is the case at the venerable layout known as WAILEA OLD BLUE Golf Club, which has served as the welcome mat for the entire resort and neighboring resort at Makena. Old Blue delivers a magnificently manicured design, which may well be the best conditioned course on Maui. As the Arthur Jack Snyder design winds gently through the bluffs above the Wailea Resort gateway, there are a host of quality golf holes that are fair to all and reward good play with good scores. Play it once and you'll have to play it again.
For many years, the Makena Resort offered 36 holes of Robert Trent Jones Jr. golf. In 2008, the South Course closed for lot development. As luck would have it, the North Course, which is now called the MAKENA Golf Club, remains open for play to all comers. For our money, this has always been one of the absolute best courses in Hawaii with views to match. Playing it once is just not enough. Trust us, you could play this course three or four times on a Maui golf adventure and find something new, exciting and eye-popping every time out. Golf Magazine (December 2009) called it "Maui's most underrated golf course." Bring your best game and your camera!
THE DUNES AT MAUI LANI Golf Course is centrally located (between the southside and westside of Maui) very close to Kahului (OGG) Airport, which makes it an ideal place for a first and/or last round on Maui (plus a few rounds in-between). Clearly, one of Hawaii's most unique golf layouts, Robin Nelson has crafted this 18-hole beauty as a tip-of-the-cap to Scottish links golf with an island flair. The terrain, inspired by prodigious sand dunes (in an area not adjacent to the ocean or beach) delivers an exhilarating golf experience. Throw in some dynamic elevation changes, water features and breezes, which make every club in the bag come to the fore, and you'll see why The Dunes is one of the most talked about Hawaii golf courses.
ELLEAIR MAUI Golf Club, may well be one of Hawaii's most improved layouts due to the renovation of many holes on the back nine. The WJ Noewis design has something for everyone–from lovely views, to water features, to rolling terrain in the lee of Haleakula, to crafty greens and delightful bunkering. It even features a breathtaking number of lonely Silversword plants, which flowers once in its lifetime and dies. In fact, Elleair was originally named "Silversword GC." The front nine retains much of its original flavor while the back nine has found its niche with an outstanding variety of holes that skirt the new development residing in its mid-section. If you've never played it, or haven't played it since it was Silversword, you're in for a real treat.
PUKALANI Country Club is stunningly perched at the gateway to Maui's upcountry in its namesake town. At about 600 feet above sea level on the downslope of Haleakula, the views are breathtaking and the golf is truly grand. The 18-hole/19-green Bob Baldock layout is user-friendly, yet demanding at almost 6,900 yards from the tips. Why 19 greens? The par-3 at No. 3 offers two target greens. To the right, go across the barranca for a slightly uphill shot . To the left, shoot downhill to a sunken green. Nice touch! Speaking of touch, Pukalani CC is now under the deft touch of Ron Huffman, so be sure to say hello to one of Hawaii's nicest and best PGA pros who will always entertain with a tip or two from his bag of golf treasures. With your GOLFHAWAIICARD Pukalani is also one of the best golf values in the entire state, and certainly on Maui.

NOBODY BEATS HawaiiGolfDeals! PERIOD.
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? No way! 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 five best golf value cards in the nation!”
FAIRWAYS & GREENS MAGAZINE said:
“The #1 reason (of 18) WHY WE LOVE HAWAII!”
GOLF VACATION INSIDER reported:
“Some of the best deals we've ever found!”
There is no other Hawaii golf card. The pretenders tell you they have a card program though none exists. Don't take the bait and end up overpaying for golf via their various schemes and scams.
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 exclusive 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.
BEWARE OF AERATION RATES MASQUERADING AS VALUE RATES!
The pretenders are the king of the hill when it comes to misleading consumers. They even use special rates they are given for the 10 days following aeration of the greens to sell at low prices. However, they conveniently leave out the fact that these are aeration rates. Don't fall for it and don't say we didn't warn you! In fact, if they beat us anywhere, it has to be an aeration rate they are failing to disclose. Lets face it, these guys are so desperate to beat us they will flat out lie. Nobody beats HawaiiGolfDeals. Period.
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 COMPANY THAT USES OUR NAME IN THEIR AD LEADS: "HAWAII GOLF DEALS"
The tactic of trying to confuse the consumer is one of the big problems with Internet marketing. And it is becoming more and more of a problem. We have taken legal action to protect our name and your ability to discern between the rogues & thieves and a quality company with a long and honorable track record like HawaiiGolfDeals. If you see our name in their ad lead, stay away and help put a crook out of business. Lets face it, if you steal someone's good name and reputation — you're a crook. Which leads us to our final warning...
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.
