 Big Island Visitor’s Bureau (800) 648-2441 • bigisland.org Known as the Big Island, Hawaii is home to an astonishing array of climates, terrain and natural beauty, where it’s possible to experience the summit of Maunakea or the fiery heat of Kilauea in the morning and be on the golf course that afternoon. All but two of the world’s diverse climate zones are on Hawaii’s Big Island, which has everything from waterfall-laden rainforests to sun-soaked seaside deserts, where black-sand beaches shimmer beneath the world’s most massive mountains. This diversity of terrain creates some extremely varied playing fields for golf. Players can tee it up at world-renowned seaside courses designed by the most famous names in architecture or at some budget-minded hidden gems. You’ll also discover courses that challenge the best players and courses perfect for vacationing couples. It’s easy to see why the Big Island’s golf courses offer something for every taste and every budget.  Puakea Golf Course(866) 773-5554 • puakeagolf.com Why play one of Hawaii's best courses once when you can play twice? Puakea Golf Course in Lihue, Kauai, was recently rated as the 14th Best Course in Hawaii by Golfweek magazine. The Elua package offers two rounds of golf for $170. Or, if you're staying on Kauai for a week or more, you can take advantage of the Elima Package, which offers five rounds for $375. Puakea Golf Course is just minutes from the Lihue airport and harbor area, making it convenient for golfers staying across the island. Showcasing Kauai's natural beauty, Puakea offers astounding tropical views across deep, lush ravines, and is a challenge for all levels of play.  Coral Creek Golf Course(808) 441-4653 • coralcreekgolfhawaii.com Water comes into play on at least 13 holes, mostly in the form of natural spring-fed lakes or coral creeks. Players will find the cool prevailing 15-20 mph winds pleasant, but the breeze can wreak havoc with any shot you play, making the water hazards an even greater threat. Each hole is distinctly different and calls for an arsenal of shotmaking skills and strategy. Elevated greens protected by strategic bunkers incorporate sloping conditions and false fronts.  Kaanapali Golf Resort(808) 661-3691 • (866) 454-4653 kaanapaligolfresort.com Both the Kaanapali Alii and Westin Maui Resort & Spa offer five-night accommodations starting at $2,100 and $1,893, respectively. Whether it’s a luxurious condominium setting with an outdoor BBQ area and a fantastic beach at the Alii, or Westin’s playground of pools, lagoons and waterfalls, you’ll find an incredible golf package just right for you. Both properties are steps away from Kaanapali’s two championship courses, which recently hosted the Wendy’s Champions Skins Game and “Big Break Kaanapali” — these courses will test your skills and treat your eyes to some fantastic views. |
