About
Looking for Hawaii resort golf at its best? Look no further than the Bay Course at Kapalua Resort.
The Bay Course is the pride of Kapalua, which is located on Maui's northwest shore and stretches from gorgeous mountain peaks to the Pacific Ocean. The resort, a 23,000-acres paradise, features award-winning accommodations, flawless beaches, ancient lava flows and fields of fresh pineapple.
The Bay is the elder of Kapalua's two championship courses. Designed by Arnold Palmer and Francis Duane, the 6,600-yard, par-72 Bay has easy, rolling fairways and generous greens.
For the family, Bay offers junior tees on the front nine. Also, the resort is home to Kapalua Golf Academy, a state-of-the-art instructional facility, which can offer assistance to both beginners and scratch golfers.

Texas Hill Country Meets Pacific Ocean
I'm from Texas and the best way I can describe this course is one of our beautiful Hill Country resort courses, like Barton Creek or La Cantera, with all of their elevated tee boxes, set on the Pacific Ocean. Front nine is more scenic with holes along the water but back nine has some interesting holes as well. First hole is not as scenic as some others on the island (e.g. Wailea Emerald or even Pukalani for that matter!) but holes #4 and #5 are some of the most beautiful I've ever played. Windy in the afternoon but no more than Pukalani and expected. Beautiful natural beauty inspires my game so I caught fire on the front nine but couldn't keep it together on the back. Overall, an awesome experience that you have to experience at least one but it is expensive.
Visually Spectacular
Although the course is a bit quirky, it's a gorgeous facility, with amazing views throughout the entire course, and was tons of fun to play.
Amazing views, a must play!
Really enjoyed the Bay Course. There are so many holes that have outstanding views that you can hardly focus on the golf. However, the course is equally great. I used a rental set and they were great, new Callaways!
