Beach: Wailea has five beaches along a scalloped coastline accented by lava-rock outcrops.
Golf Courses: Wailea’s 54 holes of golf drape the lower slopes of 10,000-foot Mt. Haleakala, providing vistas of the Pacific Ocean off to the west.
Gold Course: Robert Trent Jones, Jr. designed this challenging 7,000-yard layout. Rugged and natural, it was named one of the best new resort courses by Golf Digest when it opened in 1994. Strategically placed bunkers and hazards, elevation changes, and several well-planned dog legs make it a thinking player’s course. Its most unusual hazards, however, are low lava-rock walls built by the early Hawaiians, who called them papohaku. Jones made sure they were preserved during course construction, which earned it awards for preservation. Par: 72. Length: 6,060-7,078 yards.
Emerald Course: Lush and tropical this second Robert Trent Jones course shares his Gold Course’s panoramic views and undulating terrain but is more forgiving. Flowers abound, adding to what is in any case an enjoyable outing. There are 4 to 6 tee boxes on every hole, allowing you to tailor the challenge to your skills—or to how well you’re playing that day. Par:72. Length: 5,785-6,825 yards.
Blue Course: The first course to be built at the resort, this Arthur Jack Snyder design introduced lush fairways into the into what was formerly an arid scrubby landscape. A true resort course, it meanders among houses and condos and provides a measure of forgiveness in its wide fairways and large greens. Par: 72. Length: 5,291-6,758 yards.
Spa & Fitness Center: The Grand Wailea Resort Hotel, the Fairmont Kea Lani Hotel, the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea, the Wailea Beach Marriott, and the Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort all have full-service spas as well as fitness centers, while the Residence Inn by Marriott has a fitness center.

We participated in the daily clinics at Wailea Tennis Club for a week during April 2019. It was not a crowded facility during our visit, but the court conditions were excellent and the pro for the clinics, Anton, was excellent. Clinics were 90 minutes of hitting all types of shots and finishing up with some competition between the participants. Anton did a great job of keeping the pace quick throughout the clinic, to maximize the practice elements and minimize the stops for long breaks, picking up balls, etc. I found this to be one of the best 90 minute clinics I have attended at a tennis resort, all things considered. Highly recommended.
The best tennis experience in my life! The pros are all outstanding. The staff is friendly and very accommodating and helpful. I found this club 4 years ago when I was staying nearby and specifically came back to the same area so that I would be able to start my day off with a tennis drill each day before hitting the beaches or site seeing. Rudy has done a great job with his staff. I picked up a lot of great suggestions that have helped improve my game.
This Club was really nice, well maintained, and the staff were very kind and helpful. The prices were very reasonable and a daily rate, so you could play as much as you desired for that day.
Having spent at least 10 seasons (October/November) in Wailea, Maui I have nothing but positive reflections about the Wailea Tennis Club. The facilities are more than adequate and court time is almost always available throughout the day. But the thing that is exceptional about the Club is their staff. They have an excellent group of teaching pros and an office staff that is always friendly, supportive and efficient. We alway leave with a feeling that we wished we’d been able to extend our stay because of the memories we created at the Wailea Tennis Resort.
This is an excellent tennis facility, with excellent instruction. Patrik Ekstrand and his staff make this a very enjoyable tennis experience.
We spent 2 weeks over late January into Feb, on Maui.Staying in So. Kihei we had to find another tennis club to play after loosing Makena to private development. Well what a surprise the Wailea Tennis Club turned out to be. The facility has 10 courts and on stadium court as well as a separate area to hit against a wall. The restaurant and Pro shop are wonderful. Patrick Ekstrand and his staff in the pro shop are on top of everything. Mike and Paul in the pro shop kept us engaged with other club members, setting up singles and doubles play. Patrick along with Scott are great teachers. I rate Scott one of the best teaching pros I have had the pleasure of learning from over my 45+ years of tennis play. For the traveler who is also a tennis enthusiast, Wailea Tennis Club is not to be missed, should you find yourself in Maui. Thanks for all the play and we look forward to seeing everyone in 2018. Cheers!
Lovely facility with friendly staff. Great clinics.
As a permanent resident of Maui at this time, and belonging to the Wailea Tennis Club, as well as playing there several times a week, with members as well as tourists, I can attest to the fact that this is the tennis facility that, if you are a tennis enthusiast, you will be very . pleased with what they have to offer. The courts are all USTA approved, and the staff is friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable! If you are looking for a club with a spa, fitness room, etc, you will not find it here, but the many hotels all around the tennis complex are all equipped with these amenities. This Club is strictly for tennis buffs! Best feature: the setting is breathtaking with the Ocean to the south and mountains to the north & west.
Friendly and always get a match. Great pros….Kathy sometimes likes to change your game too much instead of just working out one or two improvement type stokes
the great thing about the Wailea Tennis Club is when vacating in the area they will put together matches for you. Also, the teaching pros at Wailea are excellent.
I am just wrapping up another wonderful vacation in Maui Hawaii, which always includes the Wailea Tennis Club! What a spectacular club in a beautiful location. The pro shop is on top of any need you might request. Lessons, racquet stringing, and matches, to name a few. You are greated with the warmest of Alohas, followed up by “have a great hit.” If a great workout is what your looking for be sure and sign up for a clinic taught by the excellent pros. Yup, I’m hooked, I’ll definitely be back??
Chan, Kevin,Patrick Mike–the whole crew here is really great! Very personable and upbeat and I return every 6-8 weeks for a great time of teaching and match play!
There are 11 courts. All have been resurfaced in the past three years. There’s a ball machine available, and three good teachers. Private lessons and clinics are available. They aren’t particularly good at putting together players. Best to bring your own opponent or connect with one of the local members who schedule groups. This is a tennis court situation only… Plenty of local hotel space of various kinds.
My husband & I just returned from a magical week in Maui. While we were there, we took 2 morning clinics at the nearby Wailea tennis club. The first clinic with Cathy was the best one I have ever taken in 20 years! She was so fantastic at keeping us moving on strategy skills, for every level between 3.0-4.5. The next clinic a few days later with another pro wasn’t as fantastic. It was geared towards lower levels of 1-2 players and run slower. He was a nice guy and clearly a good player, so I feel badly reporting this. The club offered game arranging but we were so busy with other fun things to do like snorkeling, whale watching, hiking etc on the island that we didn’t take advantage of this. The club location was beautiful and loads of great places to stay and eat. I can’t wait to go back again one day!!!
I am a senior who, because of injury, had to convert from right to left handed if I wanted to continue playing tennis. My instructions at Wailea, and especially from Patrik were excellent. He was patient, stressed fundamentals, and got me back playing doubles again. The facilities are excellent and the staff most pleasant. I loved it.
Wailea Tennis Club is sporting paradise. Imagine walking down the hill to the Wailea Tennis Club and seeing the beautiful blue ocean off the coast of Maui. The main attraction at Wailea isn’t the view – it’s the instruction. Our family (myself, wife, and three young children) all take lessons from the pros there and we keep going back every time we’re in Maui. In fact we enjoy taking lessons at Wailea Tennis Club so much it was probably the main factor for buying our vacation home in Maui. The entire team of tennis pros are top notch. Whether individual lessons or clinics, you’re learning from the best. Just witness the number of top tennis players that visit the facility each year for their fantasy camp. Last year they had Lindsay Davenport, Michael Chang,Tracy Austin, and Tom Gullikson among others. These people come because they know and respect the pros at Wailea who can teach you at any level from beginner to pro. We’re just recreational tennis players but nothings starts our vacation days in paradise off better than taking a lesson at Wailea Tennis Club.
The staff and members are friendly and welcoming. There is plenty of accommodation ie 5 star hotels or condos, within easy walking distance. We vacation at Wailea every Jan/Feb and join as short term members. There is a good mix of age groups and playing ability. Also, there are lots of members that also play golf as there are several nice resort courses nearby.
