Three championship courses, The Bay, The Village and The Plantation, set amidst Maui's magnificent landscape make Kapalua the #1 golf resort in Hawaii. Each distinctive course presents its own challenge to a player's abilities... even PGA TOUR professionals are put to the test as they compete in the the Mercedes Championships. This PGA TOUR event is held every January on Kapalua's Plantation Course.

Adding to the allure is the Kapalua Golf Academy, a state-of-the-art instructional facility unparalleled in Hawaii. Players can learn the basics or hone their skills when learning from the largest teaching staff in the state which consists of over 30 PGA Professionals. Golf schools are the perfect complement to any vacation on Maui and full golf instruction vacation packages are available at each of our accommodations. Due to our world-class courses, beautiful scenery and impecable service Kapalua is Hawaii's only seven-time Golf Magazine Gold Medal recipient.

Kapalua's second Arnold Palmer design layout, The Village Course, twists, turns, rises and falls through the West Maui foothills. A serene trek through Hawaiian headlands, stands of Cook and Norfolk pines characterize this par 70 6,317-yard course. The Village is complex enough to challenge the seasoned professional yet can be every bit as enjoyable for beginning golfers as well.

Boasting three world-class golf courses, the state's largest staff of PGA professionals, some of Maui's most spectacular views, a bevy of prestigious accolades, and a state-of-the-art Golf Academy, Kapalua is considered by many as the "golf mecca of the Pacific."

The grand scale of the course designed by Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore unfurls across natural geographic formations and pineapple plantation fields that take your breath away.

The par 73, 7,263-yard Plantation Course, is the course of the champions, site of the PGA TOUR Mercedes Championships each January featuring an elite field of previous year's PGA TOUR winners. The field has included such golf greats as Tiger Woods, David Duval, Justin Leonard, Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els and more. The grand scale of the course designed by Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore unfurls across natural geographic formations and pineapple plantation fields that take your breath away.

Arnold Palmer and Francis Duane designed The Bay Course. The forerunner of Kapalua's three championship golf courses, The Bay Course is a 6,600-yard par 72 with gently rolling fairways and generous greens. The Bay Course is an excellent example of resort golf at its best.

The Wailea Gold Course is the most challenging of Wailea's trio. Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., it has been ranked among the country's best new courses by Golf Magazine and Golf Digest, and one of the world's best designed by the readers of Conde Nast Traveler. Jones flavored the Gold with elements of classic golf course design, then finished it with a rugged, natural look. Throughout the course are stark lava rock outcroppings, indigenous Hawaiian grasses, an abundance of kiawe (a relative of mesquite), and remnants of papohaku, prehistoric lava rock walls built by early Hawaiians and preserved for their historic value. The Gold's 200 foot elevation change from top to bottom enhances the numerous ocean and mountain vistas available from virtually every hole. The course has been labeled a "thinking player's" course because it demands strategy and careful club selection to be played well.

Rated one of the best new courses by Golf Magazine and Golf Digest, as well as one of North America's most women-friendly by Golf for Women, the Wailea Emerald is akin to a lush tropical playground. Flowers bloom in great abundance: plumeria, bird of paradise, allamanda, gazenia, bougainvillea, beach morning glory, "firecracker" plants and more.

But don't be fooled by the Emerald's pleasant appearance. It is a superbly designed course created for pure golf enjoyment, regardless of one's handicap. Measuring 6,825 yards from the back,the Emerald features four to six tee boxes on every hole, allowing players to tailor the course to their playing level.

Notable features include a large double green shared by holes #10 and #17. Fronting the green is the only lake on the course. This is perhaps one of the Emerald's more picturesque spots.

You’ll be up and surfing in one easy lesson - Guaranteed!
Our introductory lesson focuses on giving the beginner surfer an easy approach that is based on safety, fundamentals and ocean-awareness. Our approach is based on easily learned instructions for paddling, navigating the surf zone, timing and catching waves, four fundamental surf stances, board maneuvering, stopping, and even wiping out. We will provide patient professional instruction, excellent equipment, and the best waves possible for learning. Upon graduation, students are awarded a Beginner Surfer Diploma. We keep it low pressure, safe and fun!

Beginner group lessons are available to virtually everyone, and there are very few limitations when considering the age, weight, height, or swimming ability of the potential surfing student. Prior ocean experience is not necessary. Group class sizes will range between 1 to 5 students per instructor, guaranteed!

Learn From the Experts!
One of the most important aspects of learning how to surf is of course, access to the most ideal surfing locations for learning. Maui's coastline offers beginner surfers some of the most beautiful warm water surfing conditions in the world. The primary surf break where we teach is today known as the Breakwall, and is about as perfect as it gets for learning to surf.
