Top-Rated Clubs Combine for 117 Holes, Luxury Accommodations Amid Lush Tropical Setting
(Kaua’i, Hawaii) – Long known for its stellar beaches, world-class resorts and stunning scenic beauty, the island of Kaua’i is increasingly becoming known for its grand golf destination cooperative "Kaua’i: Discover Golf’s Ultimate Island Green" in part because of its family friendly rates and offers.
The destination’s four golf properties combine to offer 117 holes – Puakea Golf Course (18 holes), Kaua’i Lagoons Golf Club (36 holes), Princeville Golf Club (45 holes) and Poipu Bay Golf Course (18 holes).
Three of these award-winning golf properties are affiliated with renowned resorts, including Poipu Bay with the Grand Hyatt Kaua’i Resort & Spa, Kaua’i Lagoons with the Kaua’i Marriott Resort & Beach Club and Princeville Golf Club with Princeville at Hanalei. Princeville, Grand Hyatt and Kaua’i Marriott were all voted "Top 100 Golf Resorts 2006" by Conde Nast Traveler Magazine readers.
Each of these golf clubs offer special rates for families in 2007. They include:
The Princeville golf courses offer free afternoon play for junior golfers. The free play is available after 4 p.m. on both the Makai and the Prince courses for golfers age 17 and under who walk the courses (golf cart is not included in the free play).
