Getting ready for my annual Hawaii trip! These past few months have been busy with preparing for my youngest daughter's wedding at the Turtle Bay Resort on of the North Shore of Oahu. I still need to finalize many more details for this wedding not to mention the trip itself. I plan to also travel to Maui to do some golfing and getting as much photography in to add to my travel blog as well as my Hawaii eCards postcards site. So looking forward to the Haleakala, golfing, Lavender and mainly "hanging out" on Maui. And hubby and I will be traveling with golfing friends who have never traveled to Hawaii! It will be a treat to show them around and to have them experience the culture and beauty of our 50th state! Some of the courses I hope we can golf at: Coral Creek, Waikele, Turtle Bay Resort, Luana Hills, Ko'olau, Waimanalo, Hawaii Kai, Ka'anapali.

Here's a photo of Luana Hills that I took last year. I won two free rounds to golf here care of Hawaii.com!

ECT Congrats on your daughter's wedding and safe travels!

Please keep us posted, or update as soon as you get back. I have never been to Hawaii. I am headed there for ten days in September. Five in Maui, Five in Kuai.

I assume you travel with your clubs? Any advice you can lend, whether Hawaii golf related, or Hawaii tips in general would be much appreciated.

Have fun!

ECT Congrats on your daughter's wedding and safe travels!

Thanks Jay-Bird! Yep, I travel with my clubs. I have a hard case to put my golf bag into. We have never locked our golf cases and they are always inspected at the airport....they do leave a note in the case that the golf case has been inspected. I have purposely left a ziplock bag with a specific amount of loose change in my golf bag to see if any goes missing.....haven't had any money stolen out of my bag.

For this trip, we are planning an overnight stay on Maui for golfing and touring. Not sure what course we want to golf at....I guess it depends where we will end up staying and if the hotel has complimentary golf rounds for its guests. I also want to make a trip to the Haleakala as well as the Ali'i Kula Lavender Farm. Enjoy your stay in Hawaii....the weather is absolutely perfect for golfing! And bring a camera with you! If I think of anymore tips, I'll post them......I am definitely posting my travel experiences onto my trip blog.

I played many courses on Maui, and for rounds of golf, I would suggest Wailea Emerald if you are willing to pay a little more for green fee's. But if you do not want to spend a whole lot on green fee's then I would suggest going and playing The Dunes at Maui Lani, it was like $40, course is a great set up, challenging, good condition, great views, and it fairly new. Then there is also Kapalua, obviously

, and also you may want to check out Makena North or South.

Here's what I play:

I was in Kaui and Maui the end of last month/beginning of this month. I brought my sticks and only played once. Luckily it was at the Kapalua Bay course. It was pretty darn fun for sure!!! We played the blue tees and 3 out of the 4 par 5's i got on in two, and that yielded only one birdie!!! the greens there are so hard to read and the grass is strange. i had 5 3 putts that day and shot an 86. Thank god im back to putting on the bent grass here in WA but Hawaii is always a blast to visit! have a great time!!!!

Pukalani is also a municipal course on Maui

Here's what I play:

I could be wrong, but I don't think it is. A "Municipal" golf course is one that is owned buy the local govt.

I think Pukalani, while open to the public, is privately owned. But, the most important thing, IMO, is that Waiehu is $45 - nearly half the cost of Pukalani. And it is the ONLY course on the island that allows walking.

I walked Makena, and Pukalani isn't that expensive, probably around the same price as the one you are talking about, my mom paid like $50 for Pukalani
