It’s not often we here at Golfstinks gush over something the Golf Channel does, but for the next four Sundays, we’ll be highlighting some great travel websites they’ve launched.
This Sunday, we’re taking a peek at HawaiiGolf.com, a one-stop-shop for finding the right Hawaiian courses and resorts to make your golf trip to paradise perfect (especially for someone like me, who’s never been to Hawaii before). From the easy-to-navigate homepage, you can choose your island, search for courses and book tee-times – all without leaving the desktop.
Featured courses include Ko’olau Golf Club, which is one of the most beautiful and most difficult courses in the world – no kidding, in a post I penned about slope ratings, I highlighted its crazy 152-rating (used to be 162) from the back tees!
Of course, you’ve got to have someplace to stay while visiting The Aloha State, and HawaiiGolf doesn’t disappoint – from it’s “hotel” tab, you can find great deals on some great hotels, including Sheraton, Turtle Bay and The Westin. And with the handy restaurant guide, you’ll be kept well-fed in between rounds.
One of the other neat features of the site is the video center, where you’ll get to see footage and outtakes from the Golf Channel’s “Destination Golf: Hawaii.” Not only are the video’s somewhat entertaining, they can provide some cool tips while visiting.
Now I realize not everyone is going to be heading over the the tropical paradise that is Hawaii in the near future (including yours truly), but if you’ve been thinking about making a golfing trip there, perhaps one of the best places to start is HawaiiGolf.com.
Check back next Sunday when we’ll take a look at another destination golf website.
How appropriate. I just found out one of my friends is going to be stationed in Hawaii and we were making plans for me to visit him and his family. Of course you can’t go to Hawaii without playing golf. Now I’m really excited. You just made my life a lot easier. Thanks!
