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.

Meh

Nice staff, ok layout but currently playing as a par 69, due to construction a par 3 was added as the 2nd hole and a par 5 on the back is not playable. Target golf with lots of layups off the tee. Greens were ok but slow. Ok to play if you get a good rate.

Good value for Hawaiian golf

I booked a last minute tee time at Maui Nui and played the first six holes on my own before I caught up to a single in front of me and we joined forced for the rest of the round. The golf course had just punched its greens and they were not in peak condition. But otherwise, Maui Nui was fun. The layout is solid with the back nine a little more adventurous than the front as it climbs the hillside and drops back down. The early afternoon trade winds added to the back nine challenge. In a land of high-end resort courses, Maui Nui offers affordable, no frills golf which was appreciated.

Best Value on South Maui

If you're wanting to play golf on the south end of Maui, Maui Nui is the value choice. With Makena having gone private and Wailea being very proud of themselves, an average Joe like me can only find value at Maui Nui. Course conditions are not what they used to be, but the course is decent enough and the layout is still a ton of fun and the staff is great. Of course, the downside is that a ton of people like to play it, which made for a slow round on Wednesday.

Very nice course to play

My wife and I played here. We were a twosome and played in under 4 hours even with the course being fairly busy. Course was in great shape and the layout was enjoyable. Greens were in terrific shape. They were aerating the next day, so I don't know the current shape.

Downhill

This used to be a fine course to play on but it has deteriorated significantly over the years. The greens were in horrendous shape with bald areas that made it difficult to judge distance or speed.. Very disappointing round of golf. Won’t return.

Great golf course. Love the layout. You must control the tee shot off the tee to play here. If you are wild. Bring lost of balls.

Wow! Great Course.

Had an opportunity to play Maui Nui while in Kiehe. The course was challenging, lots of blind shots. But the greens and course were in excellent shape, especially for the summer. The views, especially on the back nine, were wonderful. Lots of birds and geckos to be seen. Overall would highly recommend and play this course again.

Very fun course with friendly staff

My family and I recently got into golf and decided to play our first 9 holes in Maui. Unfortunately our initial tee time was cut short by a tsunami warning but we came back the next morning and was able to finish our game. Staff is very friendly and overall it was a great experience. I’d definitely recommend playing here!
