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.

Some great holes to play

Very interesting and at times challenging layout with lots of elevation change.

Only negative is the carts are in pretty rough shape, but other then that was a good day.

Only negative were the bunkers. Some had too much sand and others didn't have enough. Raking seemed to be a problem as well. Cart girl was very helpful on a couple of occasions.

The staff are great.

The course is much improved over last year at this time; however, your bunkers need sand. Hitting off hard dirt that is shaped like the bottom of a deep bowl isn’t fun. I did enjoy the course overall though

Bunkers need help

Bunkers were hard packed soil. Club bounce produced faulty results.

Bunker issues

Bunkers were packed soil - no sand. As soon as bound hit soil it deflected into ball resulting in problems.

Carts are old and barely held together.

Tough course with lots of blind shots

First time playing the Dunes. Loved it! Only bummer, the course has no liquor license, so no beers while you’re playing your round. Great views of the mountains. Overall, worth the coin and book a round here on your next vacation to Maui rather than the expensive resort courses.
