Hawaii for couples: Maui golf courses that fit the bill for your gal
Taking your girlfriend or spouse on a golf vacation to Maui is a win-win for the both of you. She gets to enjoy a little fun in the sun. And you won't have fine china hurled at your head when you walk out the door for the airport alone. When selecting courses to play, forget how they would rank on a top 100 list. Instead, consider how playable they are for her and whether the atmosphere of the club is intimidating or not. If both of you can walk off the 18th green and a smile is still on her face, it's a successful afternoon. And that's easy to find on Maui.

Visiting Hawaii and in the mood for a more laid-back, basic golf experience? 
There is a little place on Kauai for that: historic Kukuio'lono Golf Course in Kalaheo. It's a bare-bones, local Hawaiian golf experience that's easy on the wallet and great for beginners who aren't ready for a full 18 holes at a more expensive course. Check your resort golf expectations at the stone gate, and you'll love Kukuio'lono.
