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
Fun track
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.
Highly recommended! Gem in the rough
This hidden gem is a must play! Great challenges and fun layout! I would highly recommend
Maui Lani Delivers
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.
Good value
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 golf course
Natural setting course design is good.
Golf cart has no GPS.
Golf cart makes loud noise due to gas rather than electric vehicle
Great Time
Course was great as usual.
Only thing missing was an on course refreshment cart.
Fun stop
Was a great day to stop and play on way to airport for late overnight flight home. Challenging in that you don’t see a lot of the greens - and then the greens can have undulations you don’t know about! Makes for interesting ball locations when you get to the green. We had a great time, was my first time playing this course however my husband has played a few times.
Interesting Fun Course
Got a smoking deal on Golf Now and was expecting “average / ok” course. I don’t know how it is all the time, but at 8:30 we only had a twosome in front of us and we got done in 3 1/2 hours (AWESOME).
AND, the course was in great condition (except for the sand traps, of which many were kinda muddy).
Overall, nice elevation change, good views oacross the valley of Haleakala, and challenging with several different trees to choose from.
