Free golf on Kauai
Guests staying at the Outrigger Kiahuna Plantation condominium resort along Kauai's Poipu shore can now enjoy two free rounds of unlimited golf.
A minimum three-night stay in the property's one- and two-bedroom condominium suites is required for guests booking the Room and Golf package.
Two certificates given at check-in are valid for one day each of unlimited golf at the nearby Kiahuna Golf Club. The 18-hole course designed by Robert Trent Jr. is nearly 6,400 yards long and plays to a par-70, with liberal water hazards and tradewinds that make for challenging play, even for experienced golfers.
The package is available through Dec. 10, single/double occupancy, at rates starting at $165, subject to availability. This offer cannot be combined with other offers and is subject to change without notice. Restrictions may apply. Taxes are not included.
For reservations, call toll-free at 800-OUTRIGGER (688-7444) within the U.S., Guam and Canada. Elsewhere, call 303-369-7777.
