About Wailua Golf Course
Wailua Golf Course on Kauai's east side delivers oceanfront golf without the resort price tag. Designed by Toyo Shirai and expanded in 1961, the course blends parkland-style play with stunning Pacific views.
The opening holes are notable – the 1st green sits right next to the beach, while the 2nd hole runs along the coastline for its entire length. The signature 17th is a par-3 with panoramic ocean vistas. The back nine features original mature landscaping with gentle elevation changes through established trees.
You'll find Wailua works for golfers of all levels. The layout is forgiving enough for beginners but interesting enough to challenge experienced players. You're playing where locals play – a reliable indicator of course quality.
Book early since it's popular with both visitors and residents. The course can get windy in the afternoons, so morning tee times offer calmer conditions. At these prices with these views, Wailua delivers strong value compared to resort courses.
