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.

Oh, The Wind

Decent day, good pace but those afternoon winds are game wreckers, doubles and triples are always on the precipice.

85 with a double, a triple and a quad

Course in very good shape. Played on a Sunday,, miday and was very slow. 4:45 round, really unusual for this course. No beverage cart on the course.

Tough, but fun course, especially with the wind in the afternoon, but greens were in pristine shape. Will play again!

Great time. Greens good

Went off at 949 as first group after 1/2 course charity shotgun. Played with a local. Greens were in great shape though a little slower (according to local). Reasonable price.

Not an ocean course so that was Only downside.

Enjoyed our day immensely and didn’t catch shotgun until 14th hole. Finished in under 4hours easily.

Keep it in the Middle

Course is very challenging from the tips. Was in great shape. Traps need some work.

Great Course

The course layout and challenge is excellent. The multiple tee boxes provide a great experience for all abilities and distances.

The only negative were the bunkers which were mostly mud or hard, cement like, sand.

Fast greens, many bunkers

The greens were in great shape, most likely because of a previous tournament, they’ve been slow and furry lately. Lots of bunkers and different varieties of sands, some bunkers have beach sand it seems. Course is a good challenge
