Wailea's Emerald Course is an 18-hole, par-72 resort course on Maui designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr and opened in 1994. The Emerald tees extend to 6,825 yards, with a published 72.8 rating and 135 slope in one detailed course source. Jones designed Emerald as the more accommodating counterpart to Wailea's Gold Course, using broader playing corridors, shallower bunkering and fewer forced carries.
The course descends and traverses the slopes above Maui's southwest coast and shares a large double green between holes 10 and 17. Published facilities at Wailea include a driving range, practice green, golf shop, restaurant, bar, rental clubs and instruction. The course is open to public resort play rather than being restricted to hotel guests or club members.

The Emerald Course was created during Wailea's major golf redevelopment in the early 1990s. Robert Trent Jones Jr designed both the Emerald and neighboring Gold courses, which opened in 1994.
Jones deliberately differentiated Emerald from the tougher Gold Course. He used wider fairways, gentler and more aesthetic bunkering, fewer forced carries and routing that generally plays level or downhill from the tee. Jones has said women golfers were specifically considered during the design process, with Amy Alcott consulted on concepts.
Soon after opening, Emerald was named among Golf Magazine's top new courses and has subsequently appeared in Hawaii course rankings and women-friendly course selections.
Emerald remains one of three Wailea Golf Club courses and is open to public tee-time play.
