The Dunes At Maui Lani Golf Course

The Dunes is arguably as challenging as any course on Maui. Holes 1-3 offer a gentle start that builds to a very difficult stretch of holes

8-12 before turning mostly downwind back to the clubhouse. This public facility does a nice job staying current with maintenance, yet has limitations and some imperfections.

More suitable for experienced players than beginners. Bogey golfers will typically need a couple of sleeves of balls.

Course was in excellent condition, for the most part, with a few greens having some “bald” patches. It pays to play the course a few times because some of the holes are not obvious from the tee. There are 15 or 16 really good holes and 2 or 3 which seemingly had to be fitted in to the geography provided (like #11). Surprisingly tight on a few holes and the wind is certainly a factor, which is pretty much always the case in Hawaii. Gas carts, which I haven’t seen in some time. Also, both seed bottles on my cart were completely empty, with no obvious filling stations evident on the course. All in all, a very nice public course that I would play again.

My wife and played at 3ish this past Saturday. Great course with lots of rolling hills. Really enjoyed it. Pace was very good considering we were a twosome. Greens were very nice albeit slower than what we are used to. Great value!

The Dunes is really fun local course perfect for the vacationing social golfer. Really great for ladies with many par-able holes. Gorgeous vistas and excellent conditions. Can’t wait to play again when visiting Maui next year.

If you like a flat course, this is not it. You're playing on the side of a mountain, so every hole plays uphill or downhill...and every green seems to have 3 clubs of elevation. This makes it tons of fun to play. It also makes the par 4s feel like par 5s. I've enjoyed playing this course multiple times over the years. It's always my first choice when visiting Maui.

Excellent layout. Greens were in excellent shape. Excellent day.

Course was in great shape except they had sanded half the greens making putting not a pleasant experience no warning they were doing this. Otherwise course in great shape

We played the course 2 times. Sunday the greens of the course were very to slow maybe the weekend nobody works on the course. Monday the course was ok, the greens were cut.

It is a beautiful golf course but very difficult to putt!

The staff was very friendly and we enjoyed our 2 days there

The staff and course conditions were excellent. The layout is beautiful but challenging. “Dunes” is appropriate. You better be good at getting out of the sand because there is a ton of it. In many cases they are deep and over your head. All in all, I would play it again but lower my scoring expectations. Only bad thing was our cart. Wasn’t sure it would make it through the round. When you would step on the gas, there would be a substantial delay before it would start and if you were on a hill, it would roll backwards for a while before it would start. Dangerous, especially if there was another person/cart behind you.

We loved the course. It is beautiful and well kept. The staff in the pro shop were very friendly as was the starter. Was disappointed they didn't have any gatorade but other than that it was a great day!
