Maui Golf Vacations and Luxury Golf Travel Packages

For many of the sport's most avid fans, the words "golf" and "Maui" are virtually synonymous. Nowhere else is the Pacific quite so blue, the fairways so green, and the sunlight so perfectly golden. Maui boasts over 15 golf courses several of which are ranked at or near the top of the "world's best" lists. Indeed, it is difficult to imagine a more dramatic setting for these 18-hole masterpieces, with fairways abutting ancient lava flows, tees surrounded by palm groves, and greens arched by rainbows created in the ocean mist. The island is home to several public and resort courses, and is the setting for many of the world's most famous professional tournaments (you never know when you might bump into a legend in the clubhouse).
