The Dunes At Maui Lani Golf Course
About
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.

The Dunes of Maui Lani
Overall we had a very good round of golf. It was hot and windy and the course was fun to play. The cart attendant was very friendly and gave us all the information we needed.
The pro shop was small and the bathrooms needed to be cleaned - these were the only real negatives about the course.
One of the better values on Maui
First time playing here, on this beautiful, challenging course. Lots of elevation changes, uneven lies, and blind shots. Enjoyed the course enough to play again that day. Recommend this course.
Nice course!
Great course, lots of bunkers, and undulating greens. Tough! After the front 9 you do not return to the clubhouse, take food!
Hawaii. Golf at the dunes is awesome!!!
Don’t let anyone tell you cheap golf is bad golf in hawaii!! The Dunes was an awesome experience. It is sneaky challenging!! The fairways look wide open but they have strategically placed hazards in the perfect location!! Greens were awesome fairways fluffy and an overall excellent experience!!
Special mention you Kenny.. super nice and is the definition of Customer service!! I’m an Arizona golf addict and the dunes and Kenny pale in comparison to some of the service at high end courses.
We’re going to go back again on Thursday for the deals!!
Will DEFINITELY play this again!!
Thanks Dunes for a perfect first time Maui golf experience!!
My first Hawaii Golf Experience
This course was a pleasant surprise! It plays long, challenging approach shots to the greens and even with the blind holes, it was fun. With the weather as it was, our pace of play was a smashing 3 hours. Not many golfers braving the rain today.
OVER PRICED! DUMB COURSE!
Pretty dumb course! Poorly managed and maintained. Way overpriced for conditions and layout. I felt it was waste of time and money.
Beautiful Day. Challenging Course
We had virtually a windless day to try this tough course. The greens are well guarded and in good shape. You have to keep your driver and irons in play to score
Mountain Goats and Masochists Will Love it Here
This golf course is a mountain goat's dream layout.
There are few level lies here. The layout meanders among a series of dunes and swales between valleys. It rightly should be named The Swales at Maui Lani.
The fairways are thick and there are no rolls. The forward tees are in terrible condition with bare dirt instead of grass.
The greens are heavily grassed with the dreaded "Turtleback" design that is high in the center and lower all around. Most shots landing in the middle of these greens will wind up running off. They putt true but require a firmer stroke.
Many of the greens here appear to be new and they are in good condition, several including #9 are in bad shape.
There are several water hazards on this layout but the real terror is generated by the deep bunkering generously spread throughout this design.
Hole #16 has so many traps it appears as if the hole is one big trap with no fairway.
The Par three holes are relatively short but with small elevated greens and deep bunkers protecting them.
This is a tough layout playing on a calm morning. Teeing off on a windy afternoon could increase scores and lose balls simultaneously.
Great value for Maui
Great course for the money. Challenging with some great views of the mountains in the background. Fairways were nice and lush, also very impressed with the condition of the greens. All but one of the greens were in excellent shape. Great layout with a few tight fairways. Overall great course for the money!
Great value and spectacular views
This was a bit of a drive from the resort area but worth it. A very friendly staff and challenging course with elevation changes.
Nice greens. Design a bit hokey.
Greens were very good considering many in the area have struggled this past few months. Coursenis quite hairy and a bit hokey design. Nice little restaurant also. Will play again.
Nice course
Nice course and pace of play. Most fairways are generous, excellent course for Women to enjoy for the red tees are placed forward enough to not be overwhelmingly long, especially the par 5’s. Fairways could be a little more lush and several of the greens had sand on them but didn’t distract from having a great time......no ocean views but a beautiful course nonetheless.
good course fairways need help
The course is fun. The front 9 has some tight driving holes.
The back has some fun driving holes especially #10 where a good tee shot rolls down hill forever!!
Bad things
Fairways were very thin, and brown. I thought perhaps the grass in the area had gone dormant, but I played another course and that was not the case.
Secondly they had just aerated and the greens were like sandpaper with the sand.
The views are awesome, you see the backdrops of the Hawaiian mountains.
Would like to play again mid summer when the fairways are lush.
The roughs are tough as the ball does sink down.
Dunetastic
Fabulous golf course beautifully laid out
Fairways great and greens manicured to perfection and ran straight and true
A joy to play on
Locker room and shower though left a lot to be desired - the only thing to let the Dunes down
If you love golf you will love to play here
Great time at the dunes
I teed off early, about 6:40am and saw nobody the entire time. I played two balls off the tee on the back and still finished within 2 and a half hours. Great track. Greens were incredible, except for 2 holes which the greens had been punched.
For $100, it’s a great course and the drive is simple, especially from kehei
