Wailea Golf Club - Emerald Course

Municipal and public walking golf in Hawaii doesn't get the attention it deserves on the mainland. Kihei is where local golfers actually play. Eighteen holes at fees that don't require a resort stay. The 6,825-yard layout sits on Hawaiian terrain shaped by forces no course architect could replicate elsewhere. A slope of 130 is honest. Walking this round demands something of you physically. Pace of play ratings run high here. When momentum is everything on foot, that matters. Book an early tee time. Walking in mid-morning Hawaiian heat is different than the same round at 7 a.m.
