World's Longest Golf Course

Today's blog entry has nothing to do with Kauai, and everything to do with my favorite sport. Golfing! Australia's idea of combining sightseeing and golfing, creating the World's Longest Golf Course. I'd like to check this out one day! My wife isn't a golfer, so this would be something we both could enjoy.

MELBOURNE (AFP) – The world’s longest golf course, stretching along 1,365 kilometers (848 miles) of desert highway with holes at 18 towns and service stations, is to open in Australia this year, organizers said Tuesday.

Poipu Development - Wainani

8/18/09 UPDATE...."Wainani at Poipu" website is GONE!! Will update you about Wainani when I find out what is going on!! Could be some good deals here....stay tuned....TM

"Wainani at Poipu" has just announced it's NEW REDUCED prices.
They are calling it their "Summer Stimulus Pricing". Prices on all standing inventory have been reduced 30 to 40 percent.   I used to work at Wainani when they were not quite ready to accept the reduced price offers some of my customers wanted to put in. But the tide has turned. These home packages offer some awesome turn-key luxury Kiahuna golf course property options. One drawback is that these homes are closely built. However, nothing that proper landscaping can't fix. I personally love the feel of the layout of some of the models. The ocean blues on the makai side and the open green space looking mauka. I would enjoy giving you a tour and sharing some of my favorites with you!!
