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 winds at the Dunes

The winds are the major factor. Yet to play it without high winds. 6th round out there. I’m scoring in the 70’s at the Wailea courses, can’t break 80 at Maui Dunes. Three of the four par 5’s are not gettable and are difficult.

I will keep coming back, it’s a great value and a challenge

Ok course nothing spectacular

People here were very friendly. They have a range area and chipping. You need to purchase a bucket of balls

Greens were very very slow. Easily a 5 stroke difference. Fairways were decent. Views were non existent. Probably would not play again. Cost was reasonable

Reserve through the course, not through the third party

Do not reserve through the third party. I reserved a T-Time for a foursome and one of our party got hurt. Because we made a reservation from the third party, the course was not able to revise the group and we had to pay the full amount. Additionally, when checking in, I found out my son qualified for a junior rate which also couldn't be fixed.

The course was awesome but call the shop to make your reservation.

Good value, furry greens

Good course for the money.

Greens are super slow, course design is a little sketchy, to many holes are blind shots both off the tee and approaches into greens, the architect was trying to hide everything.

Could not adjust to slowness of the greens
