Ke‘olu Golf Course Photography | Four Seasons Hualalai | Hawaii / May 13, 2024 by Ethan Tweedie

The Hualalai Resort recently hired me to photograph their newly renovated Private Members Only Ke’olu Golf Course using Drone Aerial Photography. For 5 days in a row we started our day at Sunrise and captured 3 to 4 Holes each morning ending the day by 8am as to capture the best light on each Hole.

The renovation took two years and is the first since the Tom Weiskopf course debuted in 2002. The Golf Course’s major changes were converting the Bermuda grass to Paspalum. “The Paspalum grass is more salt tolerant and has a brilliant emerald green appearance” says Dan Husek Director of Golf Course Maintenance.

It was truly an honor to have the privilege of capturing this magnificent golf course in its best light.

Ka’ulu Lot 19 Project | Four Seasons Hualalai | Kona Coast | Big Island / May 4, 2024 by Ethan Tweedie

One of the most exclusive resorts in the World and in Hawaii, the Four Seasons Hualalai is surrounded by white-sand beaches and black-lava landscapes on the Kona Coast of the Big Island. It offers privacy and luxury amenities like ocean activities, golf and tennis for its A-List Clientele. The Four Seasons Hualalai Resort has been voted Best Luxury Resort in Hawaii by Forbes and U.S. News & World Report lists the Four Seasons Hualalai Resort the #1 resort in Hawaii. The Resort is also home to some of the most exclusive private residences in the World boasting over 100 private home owners such as this property at Ka’ulu Lot 19.

Ka’ulu Lot 19 was developed by March Capital Management, a San Francisco-based development and investment firm, as an investment property that will be used by exclusive clientele as luxury vacation rental. “MCM” teamed up with GM Construction, a design build firm to put their vision into reality. GM Construction is “a custom, luxury home builder that, for over twenty years, has constructed residences in the resort communities along the Kona and Kohala Coast” and has built most of the homes at the Hualalai Resort.

The property is situated on the fairway of the 3rd Hole of the Hualalai Golf Course and faces West for gorgeous Hawaiian sunsets. The home features a spa and infinity pool and three golf-carts to play golf, visit the beach or the many restaurants located within the Four Seasons Resort.

I was hired by “MCM” to photograph this property over a 2 day period to capture each space in its best light. The home features 7 bedrooms and 9 baths boasting that quintessential indoor outdoor living here in Hawaii. Below are some of the highlights from our photoshoot in April 2024
