Wailea Emerald

Ahhhh, the beautiful Wailea Emerald course. Yours truly got another chance to play this fantastic course this past Sunday. I was a little skeptical about playing out there as they have just aerated. Boy, was I wrong!

The greens were in very good condition and the ball rolled very well. Although a little slow, there was no change in direction due to those nasty-bumpy aeration holes.

The Wailea Emerald course is a fun course for both professionals and high handicap amateurs alike. Compared to Wailea Gold, the Emerald is a little shorter in length and plays just a little bit easier.

Although a little easier than its sister course, the Emerald is still no slouch. A tough par 3 awaits you on the 3rd hole. But, a driveable par 4 makes up for it on the 4th hole. And once you think you just might be playing okay, along comes the killer 5th and 6th holes.

But don't worry, the rest of the course is not as hard as those holes.

Once again, the Wailea Emerald offers a little something for every golfer. In this professionals opinion, it is a definite must play while on Maui!
