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
Course was in better shape than I had read. Challenging
A lot of holes up hill or down hill or both. Enjoyed playing the course. Would play it again. One of the better values on Maui.
This course is set up to be too difficult
We played the Resort yardages and still had difficulty scoring. It was set up for a low handicap golfer. I'm an 11 handicap and I couldn't break 90. Sand traps had little or no sand in them because the high winds blow it all out. I'd love to play this course with no wind and sand in the traps. The scenery was breath taking.
Cost to much for the reasons listed slow
Course is in poor shape. No sand in the traps. Gas carts noisy and smelly. No gps. Pay for range balls. Back home would be a 40$ course. I wouldn't recommend the corse to others at the $
Each hole is guarded well. Excellent pace of play.
Wind was not blowing excessively when we played. Although all golf on Maui is expensive this was a good value compared to Wailea and Kaanipali courses.
Tough course
This is not a resort course. It is a difficult and penal track. Lot of fairway bunkers in play, multiple holes with trees in fairway. Extreme elevation changes and a lot of blind shots to greens. Greens were good-average speed, but pretty large with a lot of contour. This course is hot and windy in the afternoon. Described as a links course but is in name only. Would take multiple times playing to figure out where to drive to and where to aim 2nd shots. Even then, possible to get penalized with a good shot. Fairways were pretty rough and dried out.
Could make a case that this is the toughest course in Maui. Single digits would appreciate the difficulty if played well. If you're a higher handicapper, 20+ be prepared and bring a lot of balls. Golf and otherwise.
We had a great time.
My son and I played this track after Dunes at Maui Lani and this was better. Also played Kaanapali Kai and this was cheaper and better.
Nice fun course
Got a good deal at $61 on Golf Now. Enjoyed the round with my son and son in law
great condition
Great coarse. Be sure to get some drinks and snacks before you head out. The coarse does not go by the clubhouse at the turn.
always a fun course, good value
a real value course when compared to the resort courses at kanapali or wailea. course in good condition with fair greens tho they were pretty slow. a few funky holes esp on the back nine (one straight downhill, blind tee shot, then another straight up the same hill going back). staff friendly. we always plan a round here when we travel to maui. pace of play about 4 hours.
Great day of Golf
Played last week on an early morning start, play was smooth and course was fun. Weather was great, a bit cool when we teed off and just getting warm when we finished. Spectacular views of the West Maui mountains.
Starter and the staff were real friendly. The club house restaurant is excellent.
Got there early, went out as 2 some played in less than 3 hrs
Course in good shape, greens good & very consistent
A unique layout thats challenging yet enjoyable.
Golf on Maui can be expensive for visitors, but the Dunes course provides great value for the money. A fun challenging lay-out that progressively tests your skills as you play through the course.
Great inland course, good value
Course was in great condition. Not the most scenic course on the island, but did have a few holes with good mountain views. I played this course in the early afternoon and did not experience the winds that others have talked about when I read other reviews. I thought the course played fair. There were quite a few blind shots, but fairway markers were well placed for guidance. Loved the course and would have played it again if I had more time on the island.
Fun times on the links
Every hole is different. This makes for a fun day.
Good layout
Needs a little attention but for winter golfing in Maui, it beats the alternative. Great layout, few long challenging par 4's. Overall a 7 out of 10.
this is a fun and challenging course as well as a great value in maui.
I have played this course 3 times and each time it has been one of my favorite courses for different reasons.Pin locations,tee box locations and the wind make this course play differently every time.There are so many great holes that none could be called the signature hole. I could play this course many times and find something new each time.Also a great value for Maui golf. this is big time golf for about half the price of other nice big time golf courses on Maui.I
Great intermediate course.
Wonderful, friendly staff, accommodated our early arrival and got our twosome out ahead of a couple of foursomes. Quick play. Easier front side, more challenging back with uphill and blind greens some holes. Greens were well-maintained and true. Great place to eat. Good quality, well-priced menu. Nothing fancy about the course or the facilities but a very good overall experience.
Stunning layout. Great challenge. Enjoyable
I enjoyed playing the Dunes at Maui Lani. The course is very challenging and offers some great views. Plenty of elevation changes on many holes and good greens. Take a little time to read them as there is plenty of quickness to them. I will play it again!
Beautiful Day, Beautiful Course, Hidden Gem
The Dunes at Maui Lani Golf Course can not be found on a GPS!
Other than that, we had a most enjoyable time playing this course.
The day was bright and beautiful, the course had very light play and we were able to get right off. The pace of play was essentially at are own pace. The links style design makes use of a narrow piece of land with its out and back layout. Holes were challenging and incorporated the landscape and topography into the layout. Very picturesque. We had limited time to play before take-off, but nearly competed all 18 holes in 3 hours. The staff was very accommodating and the GolfNow.com price was incredible. Would definitely play there again.
Great course, incredible value
The course was in great shape, and the staff was extremely friendly. This was my 6th trip to Hawaii, and first to Maui. I had a few clients that wanted to squeeze in a round during our free afternoon, & this course came recommended by some country club locals I trust. Even better, I found a 40% off GolfNow deal for this course!
The course was a great mix of challenge and reward. The greens were in wonderful shape, and the layout was enjoyable. The only disappointment was, this being smack in the middle of paradise and all, my iPhone data wasn't working so I was w/o GPS. Just make sure you load up your course map on your phone app prior to leaving your wifi/hotel if you don't have a true golf GPS device with you.
The staff was very welcoming & accommodating. I will definitely play this course again!
