Ko Olina, one of Oahu’s truly hidden secrets is a true island paradise that consists of a number of private plots of real estate, a hotel resort, vacation homes, a marina and harbor, and some of the best golfing in the state. The JW Marriott Ihilani Resort & Spa is the highlight of area and provides a world-class luxury resort experience that is mixed with the true spirit of island hospitality. However, the golf course-front housing steals the show. Featuring panoramic views of both the Pacific Ocean as well as Ko Olina’s famed courses, the area is home to some of the island’s best luxury real estate. Avid golfers have come to treasure the sheer convenience of living course-side.

The Kapalua Resort is quite similar to Ko Olina and is comprised of three types of accommodations: the Ritz-Carlton – Kapalua, the Kapalua Villas, and the Kapalua Luxury Homes. The most important aspect of Kapalua is the two golf courses: The Bay Course and the Plantation Course. Both courses have received worldwide acclaim for their challenge, location, and scenic beauty. Like Ko Olina, Kapalua’s luxury homes are built alongside its wonderful courses. Views of the well-manicured greens, crystal blue waters, and swaying palm trees adds to the experience.

An increasing trend not only in Hawaii but  several other warm destinations is the sale of golf course real estate.  While many people may dismiss the thought of investing in Princeville real estate, the idea is quite popular with avid golfers and people in search of a relaxing country club atmosphere.  Especially for retirees and other people looking for convenient golfing and recreational facilities, purchasing a property adjacent to a golf course is not only a time saver but also a relaxing vacation in itself.

The charming Princeville community is made up of only 1,700 people and is one of Kauai’s first planned resort communities.  Originally settled as a cattle ranch, Princeville was developed in 1968 and is now home to the Princeville Resort that features a world-class hotel and spa as well as a beautifully-appointed and popular golf course.  The 18-hole set-up features some of Hawaii’s most challenging tees as well as some of the most beautiful scenery and landscaping.  Another popular and scenic course is at Mauna Lani Resort and Spa on the Big Island of Hawaii.  Set against the deep blue hues of the Pacific Ocean, the waving palm trees and manicured grasses make golfing at Mauna Lani a joy.
