Hoku'ula | Waimea | Hawaii Virtual Tour /  by Ethan Tweedie

Today’s COVID-19 virtual tour subject is Pu’u Hoku’ula. The literal meaning of Hoku'ula is Red Star in the Hawaiian language. It is the dominant Pu'u or hill in Waimea. It is sometimes referred to as Buster Brown and Knob Hill. I hope you enjoy your tour of my favorite Pu'u in my little town of Waimea!

Wash your hands, don’t touch your face and stay safe!!

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
