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.

Cost Effective

Beautiful course, well kept, not too hard. It doesn't cost hundreds to play here like most other courses. Moved nicely. Carts read distance. Plenty of parking. Best value on Maui!

Maui Nui

Overall, I enjoyed my round. Some of the greens were in poor shape and the tee boxes could use a little attention too. The first nine holes run parallel to a major road so at the afternoon rush hours the sound of idling cars, horns and some sirens was never far away. Not a big deal but can be avoided by golfing earlier. Nice layout though, and the back nine I nestled away so it's quieter and very pretty. I'd golf here again. Plus I booked through GolfNow so my round, including cart, was only $28.31 total! With that in mind it was a great deal.

Course is improving

I played on 2/10/25 and my review is based on paying $100 with a cart. Every trip to Maui over the last four years I try to play here at least once, sometimes twice. Each year the course has improved from new carts, new tee boxes and improved greens. Coming from the SF Bay Area this course is equal to playing a muni for $65. There are nicer courses in Maui for $175+. Pro shop, cart attendant/starters and food cart lady are all friendly. This course is priced appropriately.

Disappointing

We had not played Maui Nui for several years as the last time we were there, the course was in less than average condition. We thought we’d give it a second chance but I’m sorry to say, yesterday’s experience was no different. Tee boxes, especially from the forward tees, were poorly maintained and the greens were not in good shape. There was loose debris throughout the course. I’m glad we didn’t pay full price for the round. We won’t play there again.

Maui Nui Mud

Do to heavy rains the course was very wet and muddy. We were not informed by the course or GolfNow that 7 of the 18 holes were closed. At the pro shop we were given the option together a refund, which we were informed was time consuming or play 22 holes, the 11 open holes twice. We chose the latter option. Once on the course we found out it was cart path only. This made the play extremely slow and it took us 6 hours to finish the 22 holes. Crazy!

Cart girl ROCKS!

Cart girl was the best and made sure to check on us! Even went out of her way to get what we were asking for if she didn’t have it on her cart! Made the day fun and was the highlight of the day!

Our review

Overall course was super dry. The male washroom was disgusting. Tee box was awful. Greens were beat up. Would not play again.
