The Dunes At Maui Lani Golf Course

Very challenging course with a huge amount of elevation changes.

Great layout and fun to play

Greens were a bit slow and hard to read

Turns out almost every golf course on Maui aerates greens and possibly fairways in August. The greens at the Dunes had been recently aerated so slow and sometimes bumpy. I would love to play again when greens are in good shape. Upper part of the course (holes #3 through #16) have lots of dramatic holes with elevation changes and views. Need to know where to hit the ball of the tee. Sunday afternoon golf was slow with two families having fun in the two groups ahead. Fairways were in decent shape and the rough sometimes punishing. A good public course for a fair price.

The course is a lot of fun. Windy because of location. Front plays out and Back plays back in. Pace was slow and we were behind a group of 5. We saw other groups with 5 and even one with 6 players. Dispute the slow play it was an enjoyable round.

Beautiful Course great layout winds are swirling most of the time. Carts need GPS!!!!

The fairways and greens were in excellent condition. My major gripe about this course, and it is a MAJOR gripe is the condition of the bunkers/"sand" traps. I use quotation marks because, ironically for a course with "Dunes" in its name, it's a misnomer to call them "sand traps" because, for the most part, they are sandLESS!!

The bunkers had NOT been worked by the grounds crew; there was hard pan, numerous rocks, some standing water, as well as mud.Trust me, cuz I was in far too many bunkers!! And, PLEASE, don't get me started on the high ledges/lips on greenside bunkers. . . .

My recommendation to play the course is based on staying out of bunkers and playing early in the morning before the wind gets too strong. Oh, and, get a GolfNow "Hot Deal" instead of paying the rack rate.

Nice layout, nice condition. Suffers from lack of facilities. No cart person, no restaurant or lounge. Bring your own drinks

This was a fun course to play but the greens are much slower than any of the other courses I played in the island they need to move them a little shorter other than that the wind plays a huge part of your game here Had a good time although the pace was way slow.

We got to play with some locals so the course knowledge was helpful. The wind was a major factor and the greens were slow and very unpredictable. This was not worth the money even on Maui.
