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.

BETTER THAN KAPALUA!!

I'm from Arizona What's looking forward to playing A bay corps? I did and was nothing but hardpan all day. Terrible ridiculous waste of money!!

This place is in EXCELLENT condition!! Great fairways, greens are incredible!!

Beautiful mountain views, great pace with 9 minute tee times. Played 36 holes in a little over 7 hours! And a $35 replay!!

Don't waste your money elsewhere!! This is the best course in Maui for the money!!

Great time

Had a great time playing the course. Only complaint is they do not have a license to serve alcohol once you are out on the course. You don’t hit the clubhouse until after you are done with the round.

Enjoyed our day at the Dunes

We were very glad we chose the Dunes as a way to fill our time before heading to the airport. Great location, wonderful views, clean restrooms, very pleased with club rentals and was very pleased with the club restaurant for lunch after golfing.

Golf in the Maui sun!

This is a very good track with some challenging holes. Several blind shots make it tough for first timers to the course. Greens were in great shape, but a little on the slow side. Overall it’s worth the price considering it’s Hawaii.

An interesting course with lots of terrain

Course was in pretty good shape except bunkers were hard (lots of rain earlier in the week). It was fun terrain to play on with lots of hills and valleys.
