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.

This is a fabulous tennis club! Beautiful facilities, friendly staff, and great overall environment. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is visiting Maui.
Beautiful setting and great staff. I play there three times a year on tennis vacations.
We have been to many places for vacations, one of the primary reasons we return again and again to Wailea is to enjoy this club, its atmosphere and most importantly to advance our tennis games. Patrik and his staff are the absolute best we know for their on court coaching. They bring a warm personal touch to the club and to the court that has done wonders for our game. We definitely plan to return to this very special place.
Loved the staff and facilities. Went for the first time 10 years ago, and I have been back every year since, and it keeps getting better!! Lots of opportunities to hit with a variety of people and the clinics are so much fun!!
I had a great time. I learned lots during the morning clinics. And I always had the best customer service.
I have been coming to Maui and playing at Wailea for the past 3 years, over 3 times per year, and have recently made Maui my home and am now a full time club member. Here is the nice part, I got treated just as well as a guest as I do being a member. They have always been excellent and finding matches whenever I needed one, and now I am one of the people they call to play with guests. They are very accommodating, the facility is tops and constantly being enhanced. I played at another club yesterday, no shade, Wailea has tents and kiosks. The staff is tops, both the pro shop staff and the pro’s are the best, you will be well taken care of.
Staff is great – Patrik Ekstrand has been there a year as manager and has really made an impact – the activity level at the club has gone way up.
if you are looking for the best tennis in Hawaii you have to experience the Wailea Tennis Club. A stunning location. Tennis pros Cathy amd Scott are like family as we have taken so many lessons over the last 15 years. The always friendly pro shop staff will find you a match with a member or hotel guest. Patrik, the new tennis director, has made some very positive improvements to the club.
Wailea is a beautiful place to visit and so is the Wailea Tennis Club! Staff are friendly and very helpful – they will make you feel at home right away. They will go out of their way to make sure you are taken care of and have the best tennis experience possible. Whether you are a beginner or a long-time player, there is something just right for you. The club offers clinics for every level, private lessons, ball machine and racket rentals and tennis-related fitness classes. They will arrange matches for you and connect you with others so you can get the most out of your stay on Maui. Fees are reasonable and affordable. Visiting Maui? Looking for a great place to play some tennis? Check out the Wailea Tennis Club. You won’t be disappointed!
I have been fortunate enough to travel to Wailea Tennis Club for many years and I love this place!! As you arrive at the courts, the view of the Pacific is breathtaking. The staff is very friendly and instructors are amazing. They have also assisted in setting up match play for me. I highly recommend this club.
Wailea Tennis Club has many active seasonal and year round members with the excellent professional staff available to arrange matches. The teaching professionals are outstanding whatever your level or playing style. The Tennis Club has many USTA teams at all levels and are always looking for new members. The Pro Shop is large and well stocked. Ten courts, clinics daily, exceptional instruction, matches arranged for guests, ball machine available, excellent accommodations close, many water sports (surfing, SUP, kayaking, scuba diving, snorkeling, outrigger canoeing, …)and adventure activities (hiking, biking, zip lines..) nearby and awesome sightseeing.
I always enjoy playing at the WTC when I was a visitor to Maui and now a resident. I take multiple lessons each weak with a couple of their pros – they are the BEST on the island. The clinics are also well run and very productive and helpful. The pro-shop staff are always friendly but never pushy on their merchandize. They work hard to set up matches. Courts are always available between 11:30 am – 3:30 pm though during peak season the favorite hours (8 – 11 am and 4:30 – 6:30 pm) requires advanced reservation. Again, WTC is an excellent tennis club with professional staff for clinics, private lessons, and match scheduling while your are vacationing here or resident.
The Wailea Tennis Club has transformed itself into the club that it used to be. The resurfaced courts, the pretty new landscaping, and the new look of the pro shop are all welcome improvements. The only thing that remains is remodeling of the bathrooms. The staff is great. Wailea Tennis Club is the best place on Maui to play tennis for fun and for league play. Anyone who loves tennis should visit the WTC.
I went with friends and we had so much fun. I wish that we had planned for more time on the courts. The instructors were wonderful. Great energy and drills that I had not come across before. I would take a clinic with Kathy again, anytime.
The tennis club is under new management and looks beautiful, with new plants and re-surfaced courts. The staff is very friendly and helpful. One can rent equipment, buy balls and snacks. If you don’t have a partner, they will try to set you up with someone.
I had a great time playing at Wailea Tennis Club. They offered the perfect chance for me to play on my vacation to Maui. Stayed right next door at the Grand Champions complex so getting to the club was a breeze. I took three different clinics from three different pros (Patrik, Kathy, and Scott) All were great and provided a lot of ball time (clinics are limited to 8 people) I also was able to play matches (singles and doubles) after the clinics which was fun. They assist in finding you matches but this was not necessary as after the clinics I paired with another clinic taker for singles and pro shop staff asked if I could stick around and play for the doubles match.
excellent pros there. Courts getting a little dated though
My doubles partner and I just experienced a “bucket list” tennis camp at the Wailea Tennis Club on Maui, Hawaii. We were immersed in the “Aloha” spirit from the Director of Tennis, Patrik Ekstrand and Head Pro, Cathy Nicoloff as well as the friendly, helpful pro shop staff in the modest but well appointed pro shop. The level of instruction at the Wailea Tennis Camp is beyond compare. Lindsay & John, Tracey, Taylor, Michael, Mike & Julia, Tom, Chan, Colleen and Cathy were all so full of great energy, superb instruction and amazing one-on-one focus to each and everyone of us. It really was surreal just being on court with all these wonderful people!
As a member in the late 70’s and 80’s, and recently rejoining the club after a long lay-off, we think that the Wailea Tennis Club rates among the top clubs in the USA. The location is one of the most beautiful in the world,ten tennis courts amid a spectacular setting. Unfortunately, because it is in a resort in Hawaii, we need more members all year round, not just in the winter. Tell your friends and encourage them to become members.
Kathy is amazing. I never got so much from an instructor in such a short period.
After attending two fantasy tennis camps (2010 and 2012, missing 2011 because of injury) my wife and I WILL be at the 2013 camp barring unforeseen circumstances. Kathy and crew do an incredible job of making all levels of players (well, from 3.0 to 4.5) comfortable on court. The first day of 2012 was, perhaps, a bit crowded because of drop-ins from the Four Seasons, but that is rectifiable for 2013.
The visiting pros change from year to year but mainstays have been Tom Gullikson and Lindsay Davenport. From the welcoming party on Wednesday night, to play, to the Saturday luncheon, to videotaping strokes,to the pro-exhibition you will enjoy yourselves and improve your tennis. Or else!
Cathy Nicoloff and her staff of pros spent an entire week whipping us into shape for our upcoming USTA Adult season. Their challenging lessons and clinics made us grow into the best players we could be…and the growing hasn’t stopped. Special thanks to Cathy for her “cardio tennis” drills and stragety instruction. A must for any tennis lover who visits the island of Maui.
This was our first tennis camp and we feel it was the best. The celebrity pros were outstanding. We were so impressed they knew all our names and gave us so much imput.We worked very hard and came away better players. We would love to go back someday.
I had a great time during our tennis fantasy camp at Wailea tennis club last Nov 2011. The pros were great in teaching and motivating us to improve. They covered all the fundamentals and made the drills as fun as possible. I am going back for sure.
Great location, great people who run it, just an awesome experience! Maui is truly a beautiful place and playing tennis there is a thrill!
I thought the instruction was excellent and instructors were very knowledgable also I had a excellant time
fantastic facility, with top notch coaching
This tennis facility is a really great facility because the people work hard to make your experience a good one. Courts are almost always available. You can pick up a match. It needs a shot in the arm of funding to do some of the much needed repairs but what the club lacks in superficial beauty, it makes up for in scenic beauty!
Beautiful tennis club. Great location. Excellent views. Convenient to shopping, dining, 4-star resorts. Â
Absolutely phenomenal place. After 20 years of not playing regularly, I decided to bring my raquet to a vacation two years ago and have been playing regularly since — including taking more refresher trips to Wailea to practice and get some amazing instruction! Â
Not only is the setting awesome, but the staff and pros at Wailea are the best around. Rates are reasonable and you can get in a lot of tennis as members really enjoy hosting visitor games and there’s always a special event happening, be it a league fundraiser, holiday round robin, or regular clinic. Â
I would tell my friends the staff and teaching professionals are excellent and incredibly friendly. The pro-shop is well equipped and carries a wide-variety of apparel and shoes. The scenery surrounding the club is gorgeous and the court availability is very good. The weaknesses are that there is no drop-in round robin currently offered at the club.Â
Friendliest staff ever. Awesome weather 355 days per year. Part of the finest resort in Hawaii Â
Wailea Tennis Club is a wonderful place for members and guests to enjoy tennis–a sport that we all love. The staff is friendly and they are trying to make improvements to the facility. Â
A wonderful facility with amazing views and helpful staff…The clinics, workshops and camps are top class all the way with pro’s that can bring the best out in anyone…I cant think of anything negative to say it is a big highlight for us…
excellant teaching staff. tennis shop staff very helpful in finding games I am a member of the tennis club
Beautiful setting, great instruction
Top notch club with beautiful setting. The staff is ready and able to help with any tennis needs. Daily drills of all skills, excellent private lessons, will find a competitive match for visitor, assist with recommendations for touring, lodging, eating.Celebrity guests participatng in clinics…it has it all plus!!
I attended Fantasy Tennis Campa at Wailea and it was incredible. The facility is top notch and the coaches were friendly and helpful. The location is amazing – and only a short walk from a number of incredible resorts (including the Four Seasons).
Great professionals and lessons/drills. Beautiful surropund and great hotels. Good opportunity to play with visitors and locals.
Wailea Tennis Club is fantastic. The tennis professionals are excellent. Don’t go anywhere else.
Wonderful weather, beautiful surroundings, friendly people, skilled pros, with marvelous ocean views. Free clinics for hotel guests and friendly office staff who will match you with playing partners. You could not ask for more.
The Wailea Tennis Club is truly one of the friendliest club I’ve had the pleasure to visit. The caliber of instructors can’t be beat and the club-house staff always willing to help. If you want to experience the spirit of “Aloha”, don’t miss out on visiting Wailea Tennis Club if you’re on the island of Maui
I love the Wailea Tennis Club. The staff is amazing. There are three teaching pros and all are competent, I use all three to improve my game. The pro shop features fabulous clothing and accessories. The courts are in great condition. A small feature is the staff uses slightly used tennis balls for all their drills and camps. This is very appreciated by me as I’ve had tennis elbow and never have to worry that this one small thing may set me back again.
Wailea Tennis Club is a beautiful facility. The staff is friendly,very professional, and excellent at what they do. I highly recommend the Wailea Tennis Club for your next tennis get away. Accommodations are lovely–ranging from condos to hotels.
My favorite thing about the Wailea Tennis club is they always find you a game.
If you want to experience one of the most beautiful tennis facilities in the world, with a majestic extinct volcano, Haleakala, overlooking the courts, and a breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean, do visit the Wailea Tennis Club. The minute you walk into the Pro Shop, you will find a very welcoming atmosphere, the staff is genuinely friendly and helpful as is the custom on Maui.
You can be sure they will do everything to make your tennis experience memorable–whether it is a private lesson, clinic or just matching you up with the correct level player if you request it. And you’ll find the well-kept 10 courts are always available for the time you reserve them.
Because it is set in Wailea where the accommodations are exceptional, and the weather almost always perfect, you should enjoy the restaurants, shopping, and going to the beaches, besides playing tennis.
I can honestly say, I’ve always had the most fun playing at the Wailea Tennis Club which to me should be rated among the best in the world!
The Wailea Tennis Club provides both social opportunities as well as exceptional Pro level Tennis instruction. I especially like the daily clinics that are offered to all levels including a Pee Wee daily tennis for 3-5 year olds. The club also has a wonderful Restaurant above the Pro Shop.
The only downside to this is the Restaurant is only open for dinner. What a shame. If they had a light breakfast or even coffee bar what a way to spend the morning or afternoon. With kids playing or husband wanting to hit on the ball machine, I’d love to just have a coffee or glass of wine. As far as we are concerned the Wailea Tennis Club is a must do for guests who travel to Maui.
When my wife and I first visited the Wailea Tennis Center, we were greeting with a warm welcome and offer to play. We go to Maui twice a year, so the yearly membership and fees for the two months are a bargain for us. We love the tennis people we have met there. The instruction is excellent; instructors very approachable, and fees very reasonable.
The Wailea Tennis Club is beautiful as you walk down the view is breath taking. The staff and professionals are top notch. They have a fully stocked pro-shop….
