Kapalua Resort also maintains two golf courses: The Bay Course and The Plantation Course and the Kapalua Golf Academy. The Bay Course and The Plantation Course were recognized as #1 in Hawaii for Best Resort Courses by Travel + Leisure Golf Magazine. The Plantation Course hosts the PGA TOUR’s season opening SBS Championship, formerly known as Mercedes-Benz Championship, every January.

Kapalua Resort has five beaches in beautiful bays: Kapalua Bay, D.T. Fleming Beach, Oneloa Bay, Mokule'ia Bay and Honolua Bay. Kapalua Bay has been voted "Best Beach in the World" by the readers of Conde Nast Traveler Magazine, "America's Best Beach" on the very first annual list of Dr. Beach's Top 10 Beaches in America, and the "Best Beach in America" by The Travel Channel, among other honors. During the plantation era, Kapalua Bay was previously known as Fleming Beach but was renamed when the Kapalua Resort was built. Another site about half a mile to the north was then renamed D.T. Fleming Beach from Honokahua Bay, to keep the tribute to namesake David T. Fleming, beloved Honolua Plantation manager of the area.
