Wailea Golf Club | GPS | island of Maui

Play It

by Josh Sens

GPS GOES GOLFING
Technology gives you an edge

If only your iron shots were this precise. The famed Wailea Golf Club on the Hawaiian island of Maui has installed a Pro Links Global Positioning System that gives you exact distances between your ball and the flag. The information, displayed on a 10-inch color monitor mounted on each golf cart, helps you choose the right club and vastly improves the pace of play. The only doubt is whether your ball will wind up where you want it to go. Price for a round is $135. (888) 328-6284. —
