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.

Needs work

Course has potential but has several greens that have GIR areas. Greens also need to be cut, it was like putting on shag carpet. Would not go back currently

Muni-level course

Price was right for what you get. Sounds of construction through the entire back nine, construction fences line the holes. Good enough for a 17-handicap like me, not a course you’ll tell stories about. Greens are shag carpet, eat your Wheaties and aim five feet past the hole! Actually put up a very low number (for me) on the back, very scoreable.

The courses staff were great, friendly, and professional. The course s layout was nice. There were areas that need attention. Evidence of a drought was present al around the course. Otherwise it was fun playing it.

Poor sadplace

We wondered when we drove up why there was no one there. Now we know. The course was in very poor condition. I realize they had bad storms this past spring, but so did every other course. The greens hadn’t been mowed in some time. It was awful.

Local Inexpensive Gem

Great golf shop with friendly personalities along with affordable golf. The front nine is mid but the back nine is Tony the Tiger, Great! Picturesque views of the bay and mountains with low hanging clouds. Played with a couple of locals (Seattle Nick and UTEP 2 STEP from Florida) spit game about the local politics and golf course layout. Would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in a affordable, beautiful course by Wailea.

Great Value

First time playing this course and it was worth it. The greens and some tee boxes are a little banged up but you don’t finish on the tee boxes. Now if your a golf snub and don’t mind spending $325 on the Wailea courses then you fancy huh? Otherwise save your money, spend it at the local course which is a 5 minute drive from the villas and vanguards of Wailea. The golf and layout is great and the back nine is in much better shape. The Views though, C’mon man, can’t beat it. Want to escape from the sand and $300 family meals? Well here you are make a better choice with your discretionary funds and meet some locals to get the real 411 on Island politics. Big Texas shout out to Nick from Seattle and the cat who was golfing during his wife’s baby shower, lol, that’s mad funny! Also, to the cat working the prison really appreciate the hospitality and kindness brotha! One last mention, the restaurant needs to treat the locals much better. How do you turn away a group of paying patrons because they want to put two tables together, bad business model, do better!

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!

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.
