The game of golf has exploded in popularity during the pandemic, and with the summer season upon us and millions across the country vaccinated, golf-related travel is steadily on the rise. The best of golf travel is a red-hot category for those seeking to combine luxury accommodations, world-class hospitality, culinary experiences, and other activities with the perfect outdoor socially distance recreation—golf.
All golf enthusiasts know it’s important to get the lay of the land before taking your putt, but few have the opportunity to take their golf game strategy to new heights with a bird’s eye view of the course via a private helicopter tour. Golf aficionados looking to ‘elevate’ their game can book an aerial tour of the best golf courses Maui has to offer directly through Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea – Maui’s legendary Forbes Five-Star resort nestled on 15 acres of breathtaking Wailea Coast.
At Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea, the ultimate golf day begins with breakfast and a drink from the Bloody Mary bar before hopping on a private helicopter, where a local prop fits you with a putter and joins you on the greens for the ultimate world-class golf experience with courses that offer unmatched variety and quality.
Fly by the Wailea Golf Course set on the foothills of the dormant Mount Haleakala with wide fairway and strategically placed bunkers—plus stunning ocean views and natural features like lush Hawaiian landscaping and lava rocks—and choose a tee-off at one of three incredible courses: Wailea Blue Course, Wailea Gold Course, and the Wailea Emerald Course.
With views of the Pacific and opportunities to spot humpback whales (in winter months) from the friendly skies, the three golf courses available to tour via private helicopter are tailored to suit all players’ skill levels all while soaking in the tropical vistas from the golf course designed for pure enjoyment. The idyllic location provides long days, ideal summer golf temperatures, and easy driving access.
Enjoy private tee times and a golf intermezzo after the ninth hole before you return to the resort and head immediately to the property’s Spa—one of the nation’s top-rated spas committed to wellness for a world class massage designed to ease the muscles you’ve been using.
