South Maui Icon
Another great South Maui golfing experience. Great views so take many pictures for friends and family to see! This course can get busy with average round approaching 4 1/2 hours. Overall course is good shape considering all the play it gets. Greens can get firm and three putts are expected. This course fits all skill levels.
Blue Course, My Course
I consider Blue Course my home course. However, it does have its drawbacks. No driving range. A newly constructed practice green which is getting better every week. Great views for our visitors. A challenging course and can creep up on you as it plays longer than expected. It can get windy during afternoon rounds so, book early morning to mid-morning rounds to beat the wind! The staff is much better than in years past. Green fees are not too bad even for booking in-season rounds.
Wailea Emerald Course, truly a gem!
Spent a week in July at Wailea and the weather for golf was perfect. I golfed the Wailea Emerald Course for 5 days straight and enjoyed it each time.
I believe this course is wonderful for women golfers. It’s fairways are generous, rough is easy to get out of and bunkers are minimal. Not too many hazards to ruin the golf game. However, the lava rock (A’a) areas come up once in awhile. It is so beautiful to see the black A’a in contrast with the green fairways but, once your ball sails into it, it may be lost to our Goddess Pele.
The range is perfect for practicing before your round. They also have a putting green to test your putting skills.
Bring your camera for all the photo ops. It is absolutely breathtaking. If you’re not a golfer, take advantage of coming along for the ride. The beverage cart cruises by often enough with food and beverages. Perfect Mai Tais and delicious sandwiches.
19th "Puka" aka Gannons is a wonderful place to have a cocktail and pupus after golf. Occasionally you'll see a wedding on the lanai as it's also noted to be a popular venue for tying the knot.
Pro shop has an awesome variety of golf wear. Especially for ladies (men too) looking to find the newer and more fashionable items. It's a little on the pricey side but where else can you find a cute double seahorse logo embroidered on everything.
Staff is amazing. We have been lucky to get Efran often to help us with our cart and set us up with our tee times. He can also direct you to the shower facilities that you can use after your round to "freshen up". Lockers, towels and toiletries are all complimentary with your green fees.
I've golfed at Wailea's Blue, Gold and Emerald courses. My favorite is the Emerald course by far. It's the perfect little Gem!

Despite rain, extremely enjoyable experience.
Got through two holes before the skies opened up. Went back to the clubhouse to try and wait it out and grab a bite to eat. The staff was extremely accommodating and helpful the entire time, and we managed to get back out on the course within a few minutes of the rain stopping. Spectacular views, particularly on the front 9, and the course was in immaculate shape. although a bit pricey, I'd be perfectly willing to put up the money for this course rather than play another course half the price twice. It's absolutely worth the money if you want to play one of the most amazing courses you will ever play in your lifetime. Even with the heavy rain, the course dried out very quickly. Very impressive facilities and modernized golf carts with GPS inside. Only complaints would be hitting off the mats at the range, and the range balls could use an upgrade. When the only complaint is the range balls though, you know it's an outstanding place. Would recommend to anyone visiting Maui. 10/10
Best in Maui Hands Down
Spectacular setting in probably one of the nicest areas of Maui. Vistas of the mountains and ocean from just about every hole. Only a few blind shots, but the GPS on the cart takes care of that. Not overly difficult and while many of the fairways and greens have slope, everything is pretty straight forward. Landscaping is well done. Facilities are nice. Could use a slight upgrade, but the golf is what we are here for.
Dream day
On this course you have more seaview as on the Gold-Course.
It was a very nice day! We will come back.
Dreamday
Me and my wife played early in the morning at 7.40 am. Everything was perfect. The course was in a perfectly shape. The crew was very friendly.
Disappointed
Fairways were ok but greens were very patchy it looked like a camouflage pattern. Played a Prime time Tee time but they had hoses and sprinklers on the Fairways I had to run under and save my ball a couple times and kick it out. Bunkers are absolutely horrible is basically gravel I think it's ground up lava rock no exaggeration. Cart girl seemed very uninterested in being there. Didn't even take her headphones out at first. Will never good here again. On top of that few ocean views.
Perfect course and day
The course was beautiful with each hole contained in its own perfect scenery using trees and lava rocks etc. The course was easier then kapalua and not nearly as long. I found this course playable I am an 18 handicap and played from the blue tees. It was by far the best course I have ever played and the most beautiful course I have ever played. Still shot in the 90s but never felt like this is impossible. Great course.... Dinner at their restaurant was just as good!
Would play again
The course was very windy (20-25 mph) the day we played which affected ball flight. Difficult to compensate for grain on the greens so several three putts. Course is wide (resort course) and fairways are forgiving. Scenic ocean views from almost every hole.
No rain check
Course has a no rain check policy. Make sure of you weather prior to playing. Course is in good condition and we were able to play in 3 1/2 hours. Fairways are relatively wide and forgiving. Greens were in decent shape.
Decent course, Staff not cordial
Nice condition. Great views. Unfriendly staff. They need to overhaul personnel. This is a service/entertainment business afterall.
Emerald is a gem!
Another spectacular day in Wailea. The winds were blowing hard. Emerald is equal to Gold, make your pick you will have a great day no matter what. Finishing the day par birdie birdie from the blues to go 43/37 will always make for a great day! Make sure you go to either Gannons or Mulligans for happy hour, especially the latter to watch Ireland play rugby on St Paddy's day!
Beverage cart
Although the course was beautiful and the views were spectacular we played 16 out of the 18 holes before we seen the beverage cart.disappointing as no outside alcohol is permitted. Also you can not stop after nine holes and go by a beer at the clubhouse and take it with you. All in all a great day
Challenging but enjoyable
I have played this course many times in the past and I always go back every time I am on Maui. The course conditions are always perfect and the views are spectacular. The staff is also pleasant and professional!
Still a classic
Our group enjoyed this course in spite of its difficulty relative to our skill. My usual three to the green sometimes was four on the elevated greens. Beautiful holes the whole way!
Gold worth the wait
I waited a long time to play the gold course and when it showed up as a hot deal I jumped on it. Reminded me some of the Makena courses. Great views, lots of elevation changes. This is not an easy golf course so pick the right tee box. Greens were Bermuda grass, so hard to read. I can't wait to go back!
Very good layout and condition. Greens a bit slow
Except for slowness of greens a great course and good speed of play- 3 1/2 hours.
The Emerald on an almost windless day
The Emerald is a very well conditioned golf course, relative user friendly with wide fairways and not particularly onerous shots to the greens. I didn't say easy, I just said not overly punishing. It's a perfect resort course. The greens however are pretty challenging. You need to be on the correct side of the hole to have a better shot at birdie or par. Overall a great experience for my wife and I and two of our dearest friends.
over priced
The course compared to others is a bit over priced. It's has a challenge and the green side bunkers are like throwing darts. I' m a 20 handicap so this course with its side hill lies made each shot different....... I enjoyed play.
