King Kamehameha Golf
Club, Waikapu, Maui, Hawaii - Frank Lloyd Wright - 1949 The
clubhouse at this posh, two-course club near Wailea was based on
a luxury home design originally drafted by
Frank Lloyd Wright in 1949 for another client and revised in
1957 for Marilyn Monroe and her then-husband, playwright Arthur
Miler. The project died after their marriage went down in
flames. The design languished until a group of Japanese
investors contracted with Taliesin West, the architectural
studio that FLW founded for the design right. It cost $27
million to complete and was finished in 1993 but has been closed
to the public when the original club closed.
According to the new owners'
website, Frank Lloyd Wright, drew the original plans in 1949
as a concept for a 7,000 sq. ft. luxury home in Fort Worth,
Texas. However, the plans were never used until 1988 that the
archived plans were enlarged and adapted to build the 74,000 sq.
ft. clubhouse on the slopes of Waikapu, Maui. It was completed
and opened for business in 1993. The former owners and operators
closed the golf course and clubhouse in 1999, due to the
downturn of the economy. The property was abandoned and
neglected for nearly six years, except the large rooms were
still used for banquet functions.
In July 2004, the property was purchased by the current
owner. Renovation of the golf course and clubhouse took
approximately 18 months before it reopened in May 2006 as Maui's
first 18-hole member golf club.
