Unlimited golf at the Four Seasons Hualalai

This isn’t your father’s round of eighteen. Unless, of course, your dad happens to be a billionaire.

The posh Four Seasons Resort Hualalai on the Big Island is offering the Unlimited Golf Package for those who love golf and those who have the bucks to spend on it. But is the deal worth it? You tell us.

Starting at $980 a night, two of you can golf yourself silly on the Hualalai Golf Course, designed by legendary pro golfer Jack Nicklaus.  It’s a course the Champions Tour tournament review board declared was “near perfect.”

So what do you get? A room, of course. Unlimited daily golf, including nine-acre driving range, 27,000-square foot short-game practice area and 9,000-square foot putting green?  Plus everything from GPS-equipped carts to free sunscreen. Fuel up at the free breakfast for two at Pahu ia restaurant (which, believe us, is a great place to eat).

For the golfer at heart who may be lacking in skill, don’t worry, you’re also covered—also included are clinics on putting, chipping and escaping those blasted sand bunkers.

Complete complimentary beverage service on the driving range and fresh fruit in the locker rooms is the cherry on top of your well-spent weekend swinging away at Hualalai.

Package prices starts at $980 per room, per night for travel Aug. 25-Nov. 20, 2008, and Dec. 1-8, 2008. The rate bumps up to $1,060 during peak travel seasons: now through Aug. 24, 2008, and Nov. 21–30, 2008.

It’s a bit pricier than a go-through at the neighborhood driving range. But if golf is your passion …
