Poipu Bay Offers Golf Packages and Special Values for 2003

Official Press Release

By John Fischer, About.com

Once is just not enough when you're playing Kauai's prestigious Poipu Bay Golf Course, home to the PGA Grand Slam of Golf, on Kauai's sunny south shore. For 2003, Poipu Bay is continuing its special "Grand Slam" three-round golf package and offering other special values designed for Kauai visitors who want to experience the course--just once or several times during their island stay.

Poipu Bay's 2003 "Grand Slam Package" offers three rounds of golf for a discounted price, on the condition that all three rounds must be completed within 10 days after date of purchase. The package includes green fees, golf cart, use of the GPS (global positioning system) and driving range. For guests staying at the adjacent Hyatt Regency Kauai Resort and Spa, the cost of the three-round package is $300 (plus tax) per person; for non-Hyatt guests, the cost is $360 (plus tax) per person. The package price represents a substantial discount off the single-round green fee, which is $125 for Hyatt guests and $185 for non-Hyatt guests. Once purchased, the Grand Slam Package is non-transferable and non-refundable. The 2003 package is available through December 19, 2003.

For players who just can't get enough of Poipu Bay, the course offers two "Prepaid Golf Packages" for 2003, providing discounts to golfers who pre-purchase packages of five or ten rounds of golf. The five-round package price is $550, representing a savings of $375 over the regular per-round green fee of $185. The ten-round package price is $1,000, a savings of $850 over the regular per-round green fee. Additional savings are offered to guests who are staying at the Hyatt Regency Kauai Resort & Spa. Each player's Prepaid Golf card will be kept on file at the Poipu Bay Pro Shop for easy access and check-in for their rounds. All rounds of golf on the Prepaid Package must be used within 30 days of payment, and the package is nontransferable and nonrefundable.

Poipu Bay also offers a rate of $95 for golfers who want to play a second round at the course within a week of their first round. The discounted second-round rate, which is a savings of approximately 50% off the standard $185 green fee, is offered for tee times between 11 a.m. and noon or 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., within seven days after the first round is played.

For those who would like to enjoy some tournament play during their Kauai visit, Poipu Bay now offers two mini-tournaments each week, inviting golfers--visitors and residents alike--to join in for a chance to play a challenging round and win great prizes. The 18-hole tournaments, which are each limited to only 24 players, take place every Wednesday and Sunday (call for tee times). Entry fee is $102. Prizes include a complimentary round of golf at Poipu Bay for "Closest to the Hole" on all par threes and a $75 Pro Shop gift certificate for the First Place low gross and low net (USGA handicap). In addition, a Hole-In-One contest is offered on all par 3 holes. Hole-In-One winners will receive tickets to their choice of one of the following major sporting events: The Masters (practice round par 3 tournament), The U.S. Open (final round), Final Four Basketball Tournament, Kentucky Derby, College Football Bowl Championship Game, Baseball All-Star Game, The World Series, or the NBA Finals.

Poipu Bay is an 18-hole championship course, situated on 210 oceanfront acres on Kauai's southern coast. A Robert Trent Jones Jr. design, Poipu Bay has, over the years, won numerous awards and has been consistently rated among the top golf courses in Hawaii and the U.S. Since 1994, Poipu Bay has played host to the annual PGA Grand Slam of Golf, the tournament that invites the winners of the four major championships of that year to compete for a $1 million purse.

For more information on these special offers or to book tee times, call the Poipu Bay pro shop at tollfree 1-800-858-6300 or direct (808) 742-8711.
