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.

The course was in excellent condition with only a few other golfers. Therefore play was as slow or fast as you wanted. The maintenance crew has done an excellent job on maintaining the course and the greens were in superb condition.

Good challenging course

The course layout includes a lot of hills, swales and to the uninitiated a lot of hidden drop offs. The greens were challenging but fair. It is definitely worth playing and was good value for the price. I'll play there again. Oddly, there are no ball washers on the course.

Winds, Winds, Winds

It’s always super windy, this day was more windy. I’ve only played it in the afternoons so I don’t know how the mornings are. They swirl and gust every which way on holes #3 thru #16, the other holes it’s a sustained wind

The Dunes is Tired

The Dines used to be our #1 corse to play on Naui, as it had a great restaurant for lunch and was fun to play. The pandemic apparently killed the restaurant. The tees are worn out and rough. Holes 10 & 11 are a bit of a joke but nothing anyone can do about that. The gasoline powered carts are stink, noise, and you have to floor it to get it going. Go electric please. Sorry to see this course slide down in our estimation.

Breezy

Fun play and a good test for this mid handicapper. Winds do influence the play so be prepared for that. No bev cart so come prepared.

Nice everything.

First time here, we were worried it would be too flat but not the case lots of insulations and Hills made it really interesting. Turf excellent, challenging even from the forward tees, will return.
