Training Facility
Built on the lower slopes of Mount Haleakala in Maui, Wailea Golf Club's 12-acre training facility consists of two putting and chipping areas, fairway and greenside practice bunkers, and a driving range sporting two sets of tee boxes and three built-in target greens with pins and traps. The attention to detail at the facility is remarkable; even the grasses are identical to those on the golf courses, creating an almost perfect simulation of actual course conditions. Golfers may use the training facility to warm up or take lessons from one of Wailea's PGA professionals. It is also available for unique private parties and events.

The Wailea Emerald Course
Rated one of the best 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 of this Maui golf course 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.

The Wailea Old Blue Course
The first course ever built in Wailea, the stately Blue is a gracious resort course that has been ranked among America's best resort courses by Golf Digest. In its lifetime, it has hosted such prestigious events as the LPGA Women's Kemper Open and Japan's Asahi-Kyosen pro/celebrity golf tournament.
The Blue's fairways offer views of the ocean and Haleakala, and some of Wailea's stunning residential communities. It features several fountains and lakes, and an abundance of colorful hibiscus, wiliwili trees, bougainvillea and plumeria. The Blue was designed to appeal to a broad range of players. While it has challenged some of the finest professional players in the world, it also offers a measure of forgiveness in its wider fairways and large greens.
Like its sister courses, the worst hazards on the Blue are the visual ones: the sapphire Pacific Ocean (where one can spot humpback whales during the winter months), several offshore islands, a volcanic cinder cone known as Pu'u Olai and majestic Haleakala.

The Wailea Gold Course
The home course of The Wendy's Champions Skins Game, 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 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.
Designer: Robert Trent Jones, Jr.
