We golfed multiple days over the course of a week. Gold was really tough, well maintained and beautiful. Old blue was well kept, super fast greens and the easiest of the wailea courses. Emerald was by far my favorite. Beautiful views, kept up well the service and staff of the wailea golf courses is the crown jewel. The staff is incredible, friendly, helpful, supportive, encouraging. Just really exceptional people. Thank you to the amazing staff. Really made the experience Memorable.
The views were incredible throughout the whole course! My boyfriend played the Emerald course because we heard it has the best views and was the second most challenging course. He played great, the staff was super friendly and accommodating! If we come back to Hawaii I can 100% promise we will be back. We played in the morning and it was amazing weather the whole time we were there. We got through pretty quickly, no waiting for anyone ahead as tee times are spaced out perfectly to make it a very enjoyable experience. I absolutely recommend coming here!
Review for the Gold course: First off, this is a beautiful course. You can see the ocean from almost every hole with scenic views. Tee boxes are all nicely kept with lots of grass. Of the Par3's will have divots from the other players, but there are no dead grass areas. The fairways are really great and wonderful to hit off. The grass is nice and full, with no bald spots that I could see. The rough here can get thick and a little tricky to hit out of, i should know I was here a lot. The rough tended to shut my face. It's thick grass, which is the nice part, not weeds. There isn't an overbearing amount of trees, but they seemed to be placed right where I miss my shots. Most of the greens are really nice and smooth. Very well maintained. The putts rolled smoothly and straight where I was aiming and starting the putt. On one or two of the greens, there were some bald spots, but nothing too bad. Bunkers! If you like bunkers and the beach, there are a lot of them on the gold course. Some big, some small, some wide, whatever you are looking for they have it. Every hole has bunkers, so look ahead to see if you can avoid them. All the bunkers do have nice sand and not hard packed down sand so hitting out of them should be good. The staff was great and friendly. We got out on time. They do give you an aluminum water bottle to fill up while you're on the course. The golf carts are also nice with GPS, but it does not have the breaks on the greens. Amenities: -Driving range - grass range, that you are hitting uphill. -Chipping and putting green - nice are to putt and chipping with lot of undulation. -Pro Shop - Sells a lot of clothes and a few golf clubs, Callaway's. We had a great experience here, and we are definitely coming back to play the gold course and the other two courses.
