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.

Breathtaking mountain views.

Course was in very nice condition.

Very nice how the course was fit into the seemingly unaltered landscape.

Best golf value on Maui.

Great Course, Magnificent condition (Greens & Fairways)

We played this course several years ago and it was in BAD shape. Tried again November 2021 and were thrilled at the condition of the course, the greens & fairways both. Did not use the driving range. Restaurant is great as well. All in all super value.

Fun Course, Unorganized Staff/Tee times

Good Course, very challenging. I had a tee time for 9:13 AM. I went to the first tee at 9:05 AM to wait for my group. No other golfers showed up. At 9:08AM the staff showed up and asked me why I hadnt teed off yet. I told them that I was waiting for 9:13 AM and they told me I was supposed to have teed off at 9:05 AM. They said I was holding up the next group and need to tee off right away. Not a very enjoyable way to start off a round. I showed my Golfnow booking and the staff said they didnt care. Golf is not fun when you are rushed.

October wind

Very challenging. Lots of blind tee shots. Stay on the fairway the rough is in forgiving. Grab an Extra club if you go in the thick stuff . Greens are firm and true.

Great Customer Service

This is the most friendly course on Maui. From check in to setting up the golf carts to the final hole, you won’t find a more caring and helpful staff. After I packed and left the course I got a call within minutes asking if I left my GPS behind. I turned around and retrieved it with a friendly smile again. On top of all that, this is a fun course to play.
