About Wailea Gold Course

Wailea Gold is an 18-hole, par-72 resort course at Wailea on Maui. Designed by Robert Trent Jones II, it opened in 1994 and measures 7,078 yards from the back tees. The club publishes a back-tee course rating of 74.5 and slope of 138.

Jones incorporated the site's natural elevation changes and lava-rock terrain into a layout requiring strategic positioning rather than relying only on length. Wailea Gold hosted the televised Champions Skins Game from 2001 through 2007, bringing players including Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Tom Watson, Hale Irwin, Lee Trevino and Raymond Floyd to the course. Current facilities shared at the Gold and Emerald clubhouse include locker rooms, golf shop, restaurant and access to Wailea's driving range.
