Junior golfer on Wailea Golf Course.The National Golf Foundation reports more than 48 million Americans, age 6 and up, played golf last year. That includes 3 million beginners, 4 million girls aged 18 or younger, and 6.3 million adults under 34, the fastest-growing group. Repeated studies over the past 10 years point to family participation as the key to growing interest in golf, and it’s only accelerated since Covid.
While there are countless places to play golf, courses that cater directly to families are still a bit harder to come by. That’s what makes Maui’s award-winning Wailea Golf so special. Family travelers who love to swing together can tee up a memorable vacation experience on Wailea’s three beautiful courses, where family golfers will discover a slew of kid-friendly amenities, services, programs and great value offers.
