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.

10th Tee Photo submitted by bildes83 on 10/29/2012
overall good public course
The course is in an accessible location and has an excellent range and practice area, seperate from course and pro shop. The course in general in good condition, but the greens were somewhat 'unkept'. Overall, worth the cost of play.
Beautiful Course
Beautiful course but some of the greens had bare spots and the speeds of the greens were a bit inconsistent. But I loved the challenge and enjoyed the round. Very good value for the money.
Ups and downs
The course, especially the greens, were is poor condition. Dirt areas and weeds on the greens made for and an adventure in putting.
The course itself is tremendously varied. Lots of elevation change, virtually impossible to walk. Challenging to pull the right club factoring in elevation and wind. It was helpful
to pair with someone that knew the course, because there are several blind tee shots. When course conditions change, this will be better value.
Hilly
We have played the course several times and we know
it is usually somewhat windy. We were disappointed
in the general condition, weeds on the greens and
lots of non repaired divots in both the fairways and
rough. A very hilly course with several "tricked up"
holes, especially on the back nine. Nevertheless, an
enjoyable experience as part of our annual trek to Maui.
Just agerage
The greens presently are a mess. Hopefully this is temporary. The course is also pretty wet. Bunkers were very heavy sand. I'd give them another try if I found a good deal.
Good challenge
Course is fun to play with enough challenges for all levels. Must be ready to play rolling terrain. Greens were spotty with several having large bare spots. Staff were friendly and helpful.
This course has a nice lay out and place like dunes cours
Friendly staff, good course layout, great price and wonderful Panoramic view.
We fully enjoyed the round of play and will come back
Course has been better
I played this course a few years ago and it was fun and challenging. Now it seems much less popular, and the care taking appears to be falling behind. The few employees present were smiling and helpful but the pro shop was pretty much empty and the course... Well, some greens were lush but the rest were either pockmarked from unprepared ballmarks, or had huge spots without any grass at all-- just dirt to putt over. Makes green reading a challenge to say the least!
Enjoyable course
Had a great day , even with the wind. Course a bit challenging. Greens weren't in best condition, but we enjoyed the elevation changes. Made for an interesting game. Looking forward to playing again soon
Course needs TLC
This is a challenging course close to the airport. Made to be a "links" style course, the "dunes" are the only sign of that style. Cart signs are lacking near the greens, leading to carts being driven in the wrong direction or straight up to the greens, damaging the pitching areas nearby. Fairways are worn and hard. Very disappointing.
Challenging Track
Extremely friendly staff. Course was in fair condition with the greens being pretty rough and slow. Fairways OK, bunkers reasonably good.
Signs ant elevation changes and blind shots. Very challenging for high hdips.
A Little Too Hard for First Time Play
This was the second time playing Maui Lani. Played once last year.
The course is "fun" from the standpoint that it has a lot of elevation changes and some short Par 4 holes that allow for at least taking a shot at the green from the tee box even though the winds make it unlikely you would ever reach.
My problem is that there are too many places where you really have no idea where you should try and hit the ball in order to maximize your chances on the next shot.
I think a course layout like this works if you are going to be playing it fairly often, but makes the task too hard if you are a first or second time player on the course. Even the guide booklet cannot give enough help.
So, if you are going to have a chance to play the course several times, or if you are going to play with someone that has played it before, its a good choice. If not, you might be frustrated by getting to your ball and finding yourself in a bad spot for the next shot.
Good Muni type course
Nice course and good pace of play. Wasn't as nice as Kahili.
Great course, friendly staff, excellent food
The staff was very friendly and it was a great course. Food was excellent.
There are better on Maui
This municipal course was not nearly as well maintained as the Kahili Course, which I played earlier in the week, at the same cost ($60). The Fairways were in good condition, but the greens were shaggy and quite slow with grasses that had grown to different lengths. Still, I was enjoying a briskly paced round when - arriving at the 15th tee - the sprinklers were on. There was no one around to turn them off, apparently, and the spray was coordinated in such a way that we had seconds to run in, tee off, before getting doused. My cart, clubs, & I got soaked. Arriving at the green we realized that the reason we couldn't see the flag was that I wasn't there! It's not "bad" but there are better non-resort courses on Maui.
The Dunes
You could be Duned on some holes, we loved it , long rolling fairways , sand traps everywhere , I think it tests all facets of the , it game, the bar and food service closed at 4 so I couldn't review it, Go play it , it's fun!!
Interesting course
A few blind narrow holes. Number 4 &10 are blind tees where you hit and hope. I am excited to play this course again knowing what is in front of me. Although I somehow stayed out of the sand there are lots of opportunities.
Fun Course
We got a Hot Deal on this course-$78 for two players. Fabulous!! The course was fun.
A Great Day At The Dunes
Great staff with excellent weather made our day hard to beat. Greens played true, course in good condition. Just a great day all around.
Watch out for No. 5 and striking too strong off the tee. Water much closer than initially viewed from the tee. Watch out for the gully on No. 15 close to the green.
