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.

Great Maui golf experience

Good value for golf on Maui. The greens were in great condition and putted very well. The course has good degree of difficulty. Really enjoyed it. Pace of play was good on front 9 and slowed up on back 9 but was decent. Unfortunately a bit cloudy so could not enjoy the views of the mountains. Would definitely play again if fortunate enough to return to Maui.

Fun time on Maui

This course has never disappointed me. It’s a fun layout, played It from the green tees. Greens were consistent from 1-18 and the wind is no worse than any other course. Actually most of the course winds thru trees and brush so it’s more protected than some of the resort courses that are wide open and more expensive. The staff is friendly and helpful too.

Great test of golf

Played this course for the first time and can’t wait to go back and try it again. Very challenging course with elevated firm greens that were in really good shape. Great course for a tough but fair challenge of golf.

Superb condition

First time playing here. Really enjoyed it. It is like playing Grand Del Mar. Got to plan your shots on quite many holes. Superb fairways and greens. Well maintained! Will play again next time in Maui.

Walking not allowed

They don’t allow walking and seemed surprised I was unhappy. I bought some range balls but they forgot to give me a token. Course is ok but has some strange holes. Number 10 has an elevated tee and plays sharply downhill. You can’t really see the landing area. Everyone thought I’d hit it in the left side of the fairway but the left side slopes off and I ended up against a tree. Bad break, but undeserved.

Not for the average golfer. Very hilly with almost every green elevated. Plays much longer that the yardage.
