A Hawaiʻi golf vacation for kids

Families want more than beaches and resorts. They want something active and meaningful for their kids. GolfbyKids plans to welcome junior golfers from the mainland and around the world to Kona for a week of practice followed by the Saturday tournament.

Visiting players

Visiting children are welcomed as Guests in the tournament field, meet local children on the course and around the campus, and receive special recognition at the awards.

Junior golf tournament packages

GolfbyKids plans to work with Kona’s resort hotels. Each hotel can create its own junior golf tournament package, alongside its golf, spa and bed-and-breakfast packages.

1. GolfbyKids sets aside about 10% of each Saturday tournament field for resort hotels.
2. Each hotel receives its own registration codes and registers guests’ children on the GolfbyKids site.
3. About three weeks before each tournament, unused hotel spots open to other players.

“A purpose-built 27-hole par-3 campus in Kona, free for local kids, with fast rounds and weekly competition run by the kids themselves, is unique. It will draw family travelers who want their children playing real golf, junior golf groups from the mainland and overseas, and multi-generational trips.”
