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.

Fabulous course conditions

The course is in amazing condition. The greens are firm and fast, but roll true. The staff are friendly and helpful and provided service with a smile. Thanks for a great afternoon of golf.

A little too spends for the value.

I enjoyed the course but felt rate I paid was about $20 too high. Quit a few courses on mainland that are nicer for less.

Needs Improvement

The staff was not service oriented. We rented club which were dirty and in poor shape. The clubs were mixed between stiff and regular.

There was no friendly greeting or help with putting the bags on the cart. The cart was almost dangerous to drive. Brakes were almost gone and the clutch was on its final leg.

Excellent inland track

This was my first time playing The Dunes. I've played many other courses during my annual visits to Maui and this one will now be on my must-play list going forward.

The course is laid out well, providing challenge for the proficient, yet playable for the novice. Most holes present an opportunity to put thought into shot selection. The overall course condition was very good. The greens were in great condition, puts rolled true.

Great round for the price but pace of play was quite slow. They could have used a Marshall at a few times but can’t beat it for price

Golf Fun on Maui

Nice course. Lovely views of the mountains. Plan on losing balls if you miss the fairway, as the grass border is knee high & thick. Group ahead of us was 5 folks,s pace was slow. But we had fun. The cart don't have front wind shields so you can get pretty wet when it rains, which we did. But you dry off later easy enough. We'll play here again.
