The Dunes At Maui Lani Golf Course

There is a great variety of holes requiring a great variety of shots. Rolling hills, elevation changes and some blind shots make for an interesting experience. We were fortunate to catch this course on a day of little to no wind which made things much easier.

We enjoyed our round at the dunes. The driving range was scenic, but not in the best condition so we were a little worried heading out to the course, but the fairways were in good shape and the greens were beautiful - except that so many people had not fixed their ball marks!! The fairways were mostly fairly wide and forgiving, but on several holes we needed to decide if it was worth taking out driver or playing it safe. Lots of elevation change - quite dramatic on some holes. The views of west Maui or Haleakala from almost every hole were quite stunning. We are playing this course again next week and looking forward to it - it’s definitely a course where knowing what’s ahead will help.

Good value for money and we recommend it to anyone.

Amazingly on a Saturday at noon we played in 3:45. And the tee sheet was full.

The only negatives were golf carts old and were finicky (they are in their last legs).

And no beverage cart service (no turn either) so you had to load up with water or beverages ahead of round. (Or bring your own!)

Course is fun. A few blind shots but I was playing with locals so that helped. Great value. Greens and course were in great shape. Lots of variety.

Loved course itself. Would love it if they invested a little

More in amenities.

This hidden gem is a must play! Great challenges and fun layout! I would highly recommend

The Dunes at Maui Lani is a great golf course in excellent condition. But it’s too difficult for the average 25 ~ 30 handicap golfer, due to many blind shots, ravines, and long, wild out of bounds on both sides of a narrow rough on many holes. The greens are also very undulated & difficult compared with many other golf courses. Golfers who shoot in the low 90’s will struggle to break 100 at The Dunes, and typically will lose 8~ 10 balls on a round! Not for the occasional or vacation golfer –beware!!

Pace of play was slow. Water on course scarce. Grab your snacks, beverages before you tee off! Challenging course layout. Will return.

Tough layout with a lot of elevation changes and rolling dunes. Tough to get a flat lie. Make sure you bring food and water. No beverage cart or ability to get food after 9 holes. Greens are slow. Public course and it shows but good value for the money. Quite a few blind tee shots and it would help to have a range finder. Gas powered carts are old.

Natural setting course design is good.

Golf cart has no GPS.

Golf cart makes loud noise due to gas rather than electric vehicle
