Type Resort
Par 71
Length 6801 yards
Slope 135
Rating 73.2

The classic design of Maui Nui Golf Club combines different elements including reachable holes that face each cardinal point with strong prevailing winds that reward smart play for a layout that is both fair and challenging. The layout wanders through the foothills of Haleakula, providing subtle elevation changes as well as views of the ocean and the surrounding West Maui Mountains and the volcanic atoll Molokini. The golf course has a variety of holes that will have you hitting downwind, upwind, and with both left and right crosswinds. A few lakes and ponds also come into play. Maui Nui Golf Club's layout features generous fairways and large greens. The difficulty of the course depends heavily on the speed of the prevailing winds that day. Golfers will be greatly rewarded by keeping the ball in play and good putting and chipping skills.

Great layout poor condition

The golf club has great staff, very friendly!

I loved the layout of the course, fun to play.

It appears the course is going through some construction. The tee boxes were uneven and the greens were very poorly maintained.

Greens are in bad shape

Used to love this course but the greens on the front nine and half of the back nine are in horrible shape. There is a mix of grasses and dead spots that make it impossible to hit a straight putt. I had to move my ball several times just to get a clean putt.

Worth money reserved via GolfNow

First time playing by a first time visitor to Maui. Enjoyed the course layout. Beautiful. Playing was a bit frustrating due to slow green and brown patches which needed a bit more care. Missed pars with some three putts due to difficulty reading the speed in the front nine. Fairway was okay but could be improved to make it into a great playing experience. The rental clubs were good. Overall i am happy i played here using my GolfNow.

Great layout

Great course. The folks are doing the best they can with the houses being built around it. The it’s a totally different front 9 and back 9. The greens on the front are struggling a little bit but the back 9 are great. I give these folks a ton of props for making the best they can out of what they have. Super friendly staff and I had a great time. The locals love sharing their course with you. Will definitely be back to play again!

Great find, highly recommend

What a fun course in Maui and well worth the price compared to the other courses on the island. The greens were in rough shape but didn't affect my golf game. For a fun morning round I'd go again

Greens are filled with dead lawn and rough

Played this course each year - great rental clubs fast pace- lots of water stations - big problem experienced with greens - dead lawn- diseased grass irregular putting surface - have to move balls on green sometimes feet away to get to smooth green surface - can’t put through the rough patches -ball will hit the dirt and deviate 3-4 inches - probably like this on 6/18 holes

Need new greens keeper

Most greens are in real bad shape

Understand there is a severe shortage of water on the island, but maintenance of the fairways and surrounding areas is really bad. Most greens are in terrible shape with bare dirt spots all over and fungus growth. Half a dozen greens were decent.

Why shouldn't locals pay a little more to save this golf course. Our twilight rate on Tuesday was $79. Locals play almost free.

Greens were in rough shape

The greens on the front nine were not fun to play - dry spots, very bumpy, and petty long. The back nine however played very well. Overall the course was in good shape besides the greens.

Course deteriorating

This course is in need of a major makeover. Greens on the front were not useable, full of rogue grasses and bare spots. Several fairways are rough (bumpy). Greens on the back are better but still with bare spots. One hole (11) was taken away, replaced by construction of new homes. Unfortunately, this course was just not enjoyable from any aspect.

Less expensive Maui golf.

Enjoyed playing the second day of Maui golf here. Flood damage was noticeable, but staff got things into playable condition. I enjoyed the Callaway elyte rental clubs.
