For golfers looking for a great Maui experience, your destination is The Dunes at Maui Lani.

Golf's most respected journalists agree: The Dunes is a must-play. Golf magazine named it among the top 35 best new golf courses in America, while Golf Digest called it one of the five "Best Kept Secret Golf Courses in America."

Designed by Robin Nelson, The Dunes at Maui Lani is immaculately maintained and brilliantly laid out. It is a tribute to the great links courses of Ireland that more than one golf writer has described as a "British Open course on Maui." Stunning dunes dot the terrain at every corner, challenging the golfer at every hole.

In addition to 18 holes of championship golf, The Dunes offers the only lighted practice range in central Maui, with grass tees, fairway and green-side bunkers and a pitching and putting green, plus an air-conditioned pavilion. Also, when not on the golf course, golfers can enjoy a four-star meal at Cafe O'Lei at The Dunes.

Mega-Tough: Only for the Strong and Adventurous

Toughest course ever played: So many blind shots, uber-raised greens so only see top of flag, zillions of sand traps with compacted sand too hard to hit out of, trees often blocking your shot, up and down hills, and wind of course. But beautiful otherwise. Just prepare to be humbled golf-wise.

Also no water available on back nine and no drink service

Aloha and mahalo for your kind review of The Dunes! We have recently improved all of the bunkers on the course as well as removed several trees to open up tee shots. The Dunes is a great test of golf and playing the forward tees helps with the difficulty. We look forward to seeing you soon at the Dunes!

Great course

This was a great course. It’s in great shape from tee to green. The staff was friendly and helpful. We went back the next day. The wind really picks up in the afternoon, but that makes it fun too.

Tough but Fair

Great course with beautiful views. The only thing is that it closes at 6:00 so evening tee times make it difficult to get 18 in.

Aloha and mahalo for your kind review of The Dunes! Yes it gets dark and driving on the course after dark is dangerous. We discount the rounds after 2pm so you can play as many holes as you can before carts need to be returned.

We look forward to seeing you soon at the Dunes!

Beautiful course

Most beautiful course I’ve ever played while also the most challenging. Wind was blowing probably around 30mph throughout the round. I ended up renting a set of clubs and they were absolutely top of the line. You will see some of the most beautiful views on the island from this course

Bring extra balls.

The back nine is very challenging, and full of surprises for a first time player. Greens are in great condition.
