Poipu Bay Golf Course announces variety of fall values for golfers

POIPU, Kauai, Hawaii -- Poipu Bay Golf Course, located on Kauai's sunny south shore, is offering a variety of fall values for golfers who want to experience the award-winning course—maybe more than once during their Kauai visit.

From now through the end of December, Poipu Bay is offering a same-day replay rate of $25, a 50% discount off its usual same-day second-round rate of $50. The course is also discounting its $50 club rental fee to $35 for golfers who rent clubs for a second round within ten days of the first round. In addition, as part of its Summer Fun promotion valid through September 30, Poipu Bay is offering a second-round rate of $95. This special rate applies to a second round played any time within 10 days of the first round.

For golfing couples, Poipu Bay's multi-round golf packages, which are usually non-transferable, can now be shared between spouses through the end of the year. These pre-paid packages offer three, five, or ten rounds of golf at prices deeply discounted off the standard green fee of $200. The package prices include green fees, shared golf cart, use of the GPS (global positioning system), and access to the driving range. The 2008 price for the three-round package is $380, and all rounds must be completed within 10 days after date of purchase. The five-round package, priced at $575, and ten-round package at $1,050, require all rounds to be completed within 30 days. All prices are subject to Hawaii tax, and once purchased, the pre-paid packages are nonrefundable. Additional savings on these multi-round packages are offered to guests who are staying at the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa.

The luxurious Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa, located adjacent to Poipu Bay, has partnered with the golf course to offer a special package valid through December 30th (some seasonal blackout periods might apply.) The "Hyatt Explore Package" includes your choice of room category at the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa, daily breakfast buffet for two at the resort's Ilima Terrace Restaurant, and a daily round of golf for two people at Poipu Bay (two rounds per day). Package rates start at $700 per night, based on double occupancy, for a Garden View room. The Explore package is not valid for groups/conventions and may not be combined with other promotional offers.
