What could be better than playing golf in Hawaii, while enjoying the view of the Pacific Ocean?
Whether you are an amateur or a veteran golfer, solo or with your children or friends, The Bay Course at Kapalua Golf surely has everything you need.
Opened in 1975, this Maui-located golf course has hosted more than 20 professional tournaments – the most in any Hawaiian golf course. It has tested the best golf players’ skills, which proved its ability to provide fun and challenging golf experience.
As soon as you step your foot on the course, you will be embraced with genuine tropical air, and be greeted with towering coconut palms and flowering hibiscus. You will be surprised with the course’s layout, which is in very good shape. The greens are slower than its sister course Plantation’s, but you will find out they are rolled out smoothly. The challenges come with its elevation changes, along with the wind.
Hole 17th, the best gift Mother nature could ever give to golf, is a must-play and one of the reasons why you should visit Maui. Why? because it is the only way you could play over the ocean on the island. Hole number one is of course, a great start, which prepares you for more challenging holes ahead.
Kapalua Golf also offers lodging, ensuring privacy and modern amenities suited for adventurous travellers like you. With a professional and friendly crew, you will have the best vacation you never had.
If you are craving for snacks or want to recharge before or after a fun game, head to The Bay Cafe, which is located at the former guest services area at the old Bay Course Clubhouse, below Outrigger Villas Reception. They are open daily from 7 AM to 4:30 PM, where you can have a quick but tasty bite. Menu includes Pulled Pork Sliders, Maui Chili, Gourmet Hot Dogs, Chicken Salad or Spicy Italian Sandwiches, wraps, breakfast burritos, and ice cream.
For refreshments, you can choose from a variety of beverage options from alcoholic to non-alcoholic.
