Golf Course:
Wailea Golf Club.
The new home course of the
Champions Skins Game, the
Wailea Gold, 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.
Jones has flavoured the Gold
with elements of classic
golf course design and then
finished it with a rugged,
natural look. Throughout the
course there are stark lava
rock outcrops, 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 views
enjoyed on virtually every
hole. The course has been
labelled a ‘thinking
player’s’ challenge because
it demands careful course
management and intelligent
club selection.
