New and Notable at Wailea Golf Club - Blue Course Clubhouse Relocation & Course Reconfiguration

The Wailea Blue Course golf shop has relocated to its contemporary new home at 100 Wailea Ike Drive, across from The Shops at Wailea in the heart of the resort. Long-time Wailea Golf fans may remember the location as the site of the original Blue Clubhouse, but the complex itself has been expanded and renovated into an elegant and modern new facility.

Accompanying the new golf shop is a beautifully renovated and reconfigured course as well. Golfers on the Blue are now experiencing this classic Hawaiian resort layout as it was originally designed, with the former 6th hole now the 1st hole once again.

Other new updates worth checking out at Wailea can be found at both golf shops. Each one features a great selection of high quality apparel and golf products bearing their respective and exclusive Wailea Golf logos: the renowned Wailea sea horse logo at the Gold & Emerald Pro Shop, and the retro Wailea sun-and-surf logo at the Blue Pro Shop. Trending at the shops now are the latest in sun protection apparel for men and women by San Soleil – a smart way to enjoy your golf round while protecting your skin from damaging UV rays. The award-winning golf shops also carry a range of popular labels including Tail, Polo Golf by Ralph Lauren, Nike, Adidas, UnderArmour, Puma, Travis Mathew and more.
