— IMPORTANT WARNING —

Beware of sharp Internet operators. If you are looking for real Hawaii golf deals and values galore, especially three or more rounds of golf, HawaiiGolfDeals has no competitors. There are only pretenders out there who are ready to separate you from your hard-earned money. Here are some simple things to look for that separates the pretenders from us:

1. Do they tell you anything about themselves? We tell you everything about us.

2. Do they reveal any names of the principals in the management and ownership of the company? We do!

3. Do they list an actual business address and phone number? We list all our direct information and contacts.

4. If the pretenders offer you a price for golf, ask them for the price with fees and taxes included, then call the golf courses and ask them for discounts and specials and compare. The direct rates are usually better and you don't have to give your credit card information to strangers who fail to identify themselves. We've heard all the sad stories.

5. Contact Us for advice and counsel. There is never a high-pressure sales pitch, just useful information and advice. In fact, we will try to make planning your trip as efficient and affordable as possible.

REMEMBER —
Nobody beats HawaiiGolfDeals and our GOLFHAWAIICARD deals throughout Hawaii.

We're the Hawaii golf discount leader since 1994.

Unless otherwise noted, the rates posted below are in effect now through Jan. 31, 2010.

BIG ISLAND NOTES:

If you are intent on playing BICC, visit on a Monday or Thursday and receive a cart-inclusive rate of $55 (+ tax) if you are 55 years of age or over. If you are younger, play elsewhere! We have plenty to choose from.
Hawaii state sales tax (4.167%) is additional at most courses except Kona CC, where it is included in the rate.

******* OAHU *******

"The Gathering Place," as Oahu is known, is the mecca for sheer numbers of golf courses in the Hawaiian Islands, with almost half of the state's total. In addition to an expansive municipal system (better left for the locals to enjoy) and probably the best concentration of military layouts found anywhere, there are a variety of some of the most exciting and compelling privately owned, daily fee golf courses right on this island. HawaiiGolfDeals offers the best of them. Keep checking here for more to come shortly.

******* MAUI *******

We have started a golf revolution on Maui. By bundling some outstanding South Side courses together, we have created a veritable feast of unlimited Maui golf. The inclusion of Wailea Old Blue GC, Elleair Maui GC and the Maui Prince GC at Makena (aka Makena North & Makena GC) in our new program described below, and in our Kapalua Villas golf packages, has expanded our Maui programs to new heights of enjoyment and value.

HawaiiGolfDeals is pleased to announce that we have put together a trio of great courses to feature in a brand new program we are calling PREPAID GOLF on MAUI. Since 1991, avid golfers in the know have generally rated the Makena North Golf Course and the Valley Isle's best layout with stunning views. We pair it with Elleair Golf Club, which has always been a bit of a hidden, non-resort affiliated gem now managed by the incredibly affable Eliot Gouveia. New carts and a number of course improvements really make Elleair a treat. In fact, the subtle changes to about half the holes on the back nine, due to a new cluster of homes in the midst of the action, have really resulted in a better golf course. Now, we add the original Wailea beauty, Wailea Old Blue GC, which is masterfully maintained by Hawaii's best superinendent, Steve Olsen.

Here's how our new PREPAID GOLF on MAUI works:

Play a day of unlimited golf on all three or play our five-day sampler. It's that simple!

MAUI PRINCE GOLF CLUB at MAKENA (aka Makena North & MAKENA GC)
ELLEAIR MAUI GOLF CLUB
WAILEA OLD BLUE GOLF CLUB

Three-days of unlimited golf : $315
One-day each course

Five days unlimited golf : $499
Two days Maui Prince at Makena GC
One-day Wailea Old Blue GC
 Two days Elleair Maui GC

— or —

 Two days Wailea Old Blue GC
One-day Maui Prince at Makena GC
Two days Elleair Maui GC

Only HawaiiGolfDeals includes these added values:
  • UNLIMITED GOLF with shared cart at all times
  • Absolutely NO TIME OF DAY RESTRICTIONS
  • All applicable SALES TAXES INCLUDED
  • Range balls included at Elleair
  • Tee times up to 90 days in advance
  • Program good as long as supplies last
  • Purchases via credit card by calling HGD at 1-888-755-5216

In 2009, we are offering unlimited golf at five of Maui's absolute best courses — Kapalua Bay Golf Course, Kapalua Plantation Golf Course, Maui Prince Golf Club at Makena, Elleair Maui Golf Club and Wailea Old Blue Golf Club in all our Kapalua Villas golf vacation packages. This exclusive combination of Maui's best golf courses, along with the superb accommodations and amenities found at Kapalua Villas, delivers a sensationally rewarding golf vacation to Maui.

KAPALUA BAY GOLF COURSE
KAPALUA PLANTATION GOLF COURSE
MAUI PRINCE GOLF CLUB AT MAKENA (aka Makena North & Makena GC)
WAILEA OLD BLUE GOLF CLUB
ELLEAIR MAUI GOLF CLUB
Bundled with our exclusive Kapalua Villas Golf Vacation Packages

  • Your choice of golf days (including Maui Prince at Makena and/or Wailea Old Blue GC)

Hawaii state sales tax (4.167%) is additional at most courses. However, taxes are included in our PREPAID GOLF on MAUI program.


===================================

******* KAUAI *******

"The Garden Island" is no longer the golf heaven it once was. Courses have closed (in fact, 54 resort holes are not operating), others have been "renovating" for what seems like ages (no dates set to reopen) and the rest offer little or no value to visitors seeking wall to wall golf. But it is a charming island to visit for a very short stay. Our advice is go to Kauai for 3-5 days and then head to The Big Island for some real golf action. While you are on the northernmost island, don't miss the "can't-be-missed" Wailua Municipal Golf Course, Hawaii's best muni and one heck of a track!

KAUAI GOLF RATES AVAILABLE TO ALL VISITORS
No memberships, cards, vouchers, coupons or middle-men necessary!

IMPORTANT WARNING: Beware of sharp Internet operators who charge you to access these or higher rates. They also fail to tell you about taxes or anything about themselves. In fact, they actually have the audacity to tell you these are INTERNET SPECIALS! Don't be fooled by the scam artists! And beware of the bait and switch to high-priced vouchers!

WAILUA MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSE
Kauai'’s best golf value is also one of the best golf experiences
in the Aloha state. Fine oceanfront layout and conditioning.
Very highly ranked by national publications and the USGA.
One-round weekdays: $32 (+ optional cart & tax)
Avoid Wailua on weekends and holidays.
Phone: (808) 241-6666

KUKUIOLONO GOLF COURSE
Nine-hole public course worth every cent, just for the views.
Unlimited golf all day: $8 (+ optional cart & tax)
Phone: (808) 332-9151

HOT TIP: If you are taking advantage of twilight rates at golf courses that are NOT in our program, get to the course about 90-75 minutes before twilight begins and tell them you are ready to play anytime they would like. Some courses will send you off early. In the interim, most courses have driving ranges and other practice facilities and often the range balls are free or very inexpensive.

IMPORTANT WARNING

Unfortunately, Internet scam artists are out there. So, here are some very important things you should know about these sharp operators and copycat golf “deals” in Hawaii:



BEWARE OF HIGHER PRICES AND NO ADDED-VALUES!

No other company can beat HawaiiGolfDeals. Period. But the Internet scam artists try to make you believe they have the better deals. Frankly, they are NOT EVEN CLOSE! Do they offer better prices, unlimited golf, range balls, pro shop discounts and 90-day tee times at most courses? No way. Not a chance!

BEWARE OF THE TOKEN DISCOUNT!

“Pretenders” are big on the token discount. If you’re looking for $15 off a “rack” rate of $195 for a round of golf or $10 off a $135 rack—pretenders may have it. In fact, they promote it like it’s their own heavily negotiated deal. But truth be told, that same token discount is usually available through the lodging property you are staying at, or by telling the pro shop where you are staying, or even just by asking. Some courses, not included in our program, will even give you a standard (“token”) discount just by showing your GOLFHAWAIICARD. It never hurts to ask.



BEWARE OF THE BAIT & SWITCH INTO HIGH-PRICED VOUCHERS!

The Internet scam artists grab innocent victims by promoting one thing and immediately try to switch you to another. Classic bait and switch. HawaiiGolfDeals appalls the bait and switch. We don’t offer every course in Hawaii. We are only interested in REAL VALUE and unlimited golf. If we do not carry a course, we do not feel it is a value for our cardholders. That’s why we have thousands of repeat customers.

BEWARE OF TEE TIME SERVICES!

Tee time services are completely unnecessary and a totally unwarranted expense in Hawaii. Hawaii’s golf courses have plenty of available tee times and charge you nothing to make one. Do not waste your time and money on a tee time service! When you subscribe to HawaiiGolfDeals, in addition to your personalized GOLFHAWAIICARD, you will receive a rate card that contains the phone numbers (toll-free whenever available) for every golf course in our program. With the GOLFHAWAIICARD, you can book your tee times up to 90 days prior to the day you intend to play and can make a tee time best suited for you and your party. Since 1994, we have NEVER had a cardholder who could not get a satisfactory tee time. NOT ONCE have we even had a complaint.



BEWARE OF ANY COMPANY THAT USES OUR NAME IN THEIR AD LEADS: "HAWAII GOLF DEALS"
This tactic of trying to confuse the consumer is one of the big problems with Internet marketing. And it is becoming more and more prevalent. We have taken legal action to protect our name and your ability to discern between the rogues and thieves and a quality company with a long and honest track record like HawaiiGolfDeals. If you see our name in their ad lead, stay away and help put a thief out of business. Which leads us into the last warning...

BEWARE OF ANY WEBSITE THAT DOES NOT TELL YOU WHO STANDS BEHIND IT!

On any website, look for an ABOUT US page. If none is there, or no individuals are standing behind the product(s), be very wary and leave the site immediately. Those who purport to offer discounts on Hawaii golf and golf packages and DO NOT tell you anything about themselves, are hiding something. Conversely, please visit and read our ABOUT US. Since 1994, we have stood behind what we sell and we are proud of it. Here on HawaiiGolfDeals.com, you can reach any of us via online CONTACT US options, as well as via toll-free numbers to call or send faxes.

REMEMBER: Nobody beats HawaiiGolfDeals and our GOLFHAWAIICARD deals throughout Hawaii. We're the Hawaii golf discount leader since 1994.
