Hawaii Island Virtual Tour! /  by Ethan Tweedie

One thing I miss during this unprecedented time is sharing the things I get to see everyday here in Hawaii. With travel restrictions in place because of COVID-19 I decided to just fly my drone and grab a quick video to share! These are the beloved Pu’u of Waimea this morning April 2nd 2020. I hope everyone out there is safe and making the best out of a tough situation! We will come out of this stronger! Be safe everyone.

Aloha! Ethan

Four Seasons Hualalai Golf Hale /  by Ethan Tweedie

The Golf Hale is a brand new state of the art amenity at the Four Seasons Hualalai that will be used for golf training/coaching, using the latest technology like TrackMan 4 Flight simulation, video analysis and assessment of biomechanics using TPI golf fitness performance.  If you are not a budding golf pro there is also a TopGolf Swing Suite Experience and if golf is not your preference you can try zombie dodge ball, soccer, football and baseball games.

The space indoors and outdoors can be used for group events with a large lanai with big screen TVs, indoor bar and snacks. 

The brand new Golf Hale was photographed in January 2020 the week after most of the construction was completed and was designed by GT Design, Inc. and built by GM Construction, Inc. Photography by Ethan Tweedie Photography
