  Planning the Ultimate Maui Golf Vacation 

Hawaii is considered one of the most beautiful places in the whole world no matter why you go there, but among golfers it is perhaps even more special.  Challenging golf courses, beautiful fairways, and courses that overlook the blue green waters that surround the island are what golfers look for when they come to Hawaii.  For this very reason, planning a Maui golf vacation is something many golfers dream of. 

Golf Courses to Visit On Your Maui Golf Vacation 

There are a few golf courses you will want to make time for on your Maui Golf Vacation.  The first of these is The Plantation Golf Course located at the Kapalua Resort.  This is a par 73 course that features 7,411 yards of beautiful greens.  This course is the site of the PGA Tour Mercedes Benz Championship every year and has been the playing grounds of professionals like Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh, Justin Leonard, Ernie Els, Davis Love III and many more!  This is a breathtaking course that would impress any golfer and is definitely worth checking out on your vacation. 

Another must see is the Wailea Golf Club, which actually consists of three different but well known and spectacular golf courses. These courses are the Wailea Gold, the Wailea Emerald, and the Wailea Old Blue.  These courses were rated as one of the best resorts for golf in the United States by both Golf Digest and Golf Magazine.  Set in the heart of Maui, this is definitely a golf destination that you will want to make part of your ultimate Maui golf vacation. 

Your Maui golf vacation would not be complete without visiting The Makena Golf Courses.  These are two courses, the North Course and the South Course, and they are built on some of the most beautiful lands in all of Hawaii. At least, according to some golfers who love this course!  The 1,800 acres of land has been preserved so you get beautifully kept courses as well as a very natural landscape that adds to the awesomeness of your golf game.  Remember when you play here that you cannot just play one course, you should give yourself the opportunity to play both the North and South courses. 

In addition to all of the well built courses and breathtaking views that are available in Hawaii many choose to plan a Maui golf vacation because the state always offers prime golfing weather.  You cannot ask for anything more than sunny to partly cloudy with temperatures in the 70s all year long and this is what golfers get when they visit Maui.  When you plan your trip make sure that you have at least five days to spend so that you can spend an ample amount of time at each course.  Each of these courses is special and will offer a golfing experience that you will not find anywhere else in the world and you wouldn't want to miss even one hole of any of these courses!

Planning a family beach vacation? Looking for destinations with family resorts that have fun sports and activities for the whole family, all inclusive resorts where meals are included and kid clubs? Here are some of the most popular beach destinations for families to unwind and relax:

Mexico

Mexico, especially the Cancun area, and Mayan Riviera, an hour's drive south of Cancun, is a popular place for family beach vacations. The Mayan Riviera is one of the regions of Mexico - and the world- which offers the richest variety of landscapes and archaeological treasures including Mayan ruins, coral reef, snorkelling lagoons, and eco-theme parks such as Xcaret. Hotels, resorts, restaurants, and attractions throughout Mexico welcome families with open arms.

Jamaica

Jamaica is considered by many to be the most beautiful of all the Caribbean Islands and is one of the top family-vacation destinations in the Caribbean. Many of Jamaica's resorts offer supervised children's activities, babysitters, family discounts, and kid's meals. Jamaica has an abundance of top all-inclusive chains including: Sandals Beaches, SuperClubs Breezes resorts and Club Med. There are also many other family vacation options such as the Franklyn D. Resort in Runaway Bay, Jamaica, where families have their own vacation nanny during their stay.

Turks and Caicos

On a 12-mile stretch of satiny white-sand, Beaches Turks & Caicos is one of the premier family resorts on the island.With separate programs for infants, toddlers and teens, each is designed to give each age the activities they love. So when you're off doing your thing, they're off doing theirs. There are many other resorts to stay at this idyllic family beach destination

Bahamas

Home to the Atlantis Bahamas resort and many other excellent family resorts, there will not be a dull moment on your Bahamas family vacation. Blessed with the perfect location-less than 100 miles off the coast of Florida, the perfect climate- averaging a little over 75 degrees, and the perfect surroundings-crystal clear turquoise blue waters and pearly white beaches, the Islands of the Bahamas is the perfect destination for your next family beach vacation.

Hawaii
A Family Hawaii Vacation has it all. Beautiful beaches, world-class golf, surfing, shopping, swimming, top notch hotels, condominiums, eco tours, national parks, warm weather, and cool ocean breezes. The four islands that are popular for a family Hawaii Vacation are Oahu, Maui, the Big Island and Kauai.

Florida

Florida is a popular family beach destination because the climate is warm year round, it is easy to get to, it offers good value for your money, there are endless options for sightseeing and attractions for you family depending on what area you are in, and the beaches in Florida are numerous. In addition to beach destinations and of course Walt Disney World, there are tons of other family outings including Universal Studios, Sea World, Bush Gardens and many more.

Don't forget about kid cruises

This is a very popular family vacation option and my personal favorite. Cruises with kids offer great value, choice and freedom! There are a lot of misconceptions about cruising such as it is only for older people and not suited for families, it is too rigid, there is nothing to do, you'll feel trapped, you'll get seasick, it's too expensive! All is these statements are false and could not be further from the truth. Bring your kids along on almost any cruise and they'll have the time of their lives.
