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.

Dunes, great name!!

Didn’t know why they would call it the dunes until we started to get to the 3rd hole. At that point we realized the rolling green terrain with the camouflaged water hazards makes it a place where you need to play twice to truest get it. I wished they had a map book as it was a little hard to navigate around.

Nonetheless, the paspalum greens were super tight and true. Great fairways and the tee boxes were average. Liked it a lot. If it gets windy it can play really hard!

Great course with beautiful greens.

The Only flaw was the sand traps. Raked level , but hard as heck. Just need to be fluffed up a bit. Will definitely play again. Worth the money!

Great value on Maui, best of the three we played

Bring your camera for some great shots.

Fairways were in excellent condition and wide.

Greens rolled well and only a few with minor areas needing work.

Was about a 1 club wind on many holes and 2 clubs when it gusted.

3 hour 20 minute round at 0745 in the morning.

No beverage girl and course does not come back to club house after 9.

Nice wet cool towel and bottle of water st finish.

Could be better

I picked up a last minute deal on Golfnow. Course know for blind shots, so GPS on Carts would of come in handy.

No ice in coolers. With a bit more attention to detail this could be a great destination course

The layout had too many blind shots

Too many blind shots and unfair approach shots to some greens. Putting on the greens was very consistent and good. If you haven't played here before you do not know where to hit your tee shot on several holes. I usually do not care if there is GPS on the cart, but in this case it would help you to see the blind shots and where your target should be. The condition of the course is very good overall.

Staff was excellent.

I am a 12 handicap
