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.

Ok round

Serviceable course. Fairways in generally good condition; greens variable. Super windy - gusts of 30 mph, which the staff said are typical - "it's Kihei". Inexpensive by Maui standards, but you get what you pay or don't pay for.

Maui Nui golf course.

A very nice course - Challenging without being punishing for a mid-handicapper. Beautiful views. Excellent value for the money and we will play it again. Had a nice happy hour cocktail (prepared by our lovely server Courtney) and coconut shrimp in the restaurant after the round.

A little disappointing

The greens on the front nine were rough, full of divots, and not great to say the least. There were no restrooms on the back and we never saw a beverage cart. However, the greens on the back were much nicer. It’s worth playing if you get a deal on your green fees but I wouldn’t pay full price.

It’s unfortunate that they aren’t putting any money into keeping the course nice. It use to be a good course to play but it has really went down hill. Not coming back.

Overbooking

We were unable to finish our round because of slow play ahead of us. We paid for 18 but only competed 13 holes before the 6:00 cart return deadline. Should not give a 2:15 tee time,

Sad to see this course so poorly maintained

I’ve played this course many times over the years and every time conditions are a little bit worse than the year before. A much higher level of maintenance and investment is needed to put this course back in satisfactory condition and on its way back to its potential.

Maui Nui

Fun course to play with a few challenging holes to make it quite interesting. Had a great time with my teenage son here who played for $5 as he is a youth on course member. Very friendly staff and great amenities. Some of the greens needed work but overall the course is in a good shape. We played twice early in the morning and were done in about 4 hours.

Amazing Day

Family trip to Maui and some time opened up to squeeze in a round. Very reasonable rate and staff made it super easy to get set up as we didn’t bring our own clubs. This course is challenging and great variety of holes.

Our trip to Maui

Maui had some great golf and this course definitely had the “bang for your buck”. It was cheaper than other courses, had many incredible views and was very well taken care of. Staff was extremely friendly and the golf was just amazing. Insanely memorable golf shots, views, and game play. My only issue was the pace of play in which it was extremely fast. I was only playing with my girlfriend who is just starting out and obviously we play at an average pace. The players behind us were playing very fast and continually rushed us. When we tried to have them play through, they did not want to. We were playing 10 minutes above pace and they still were tailing us. Obviously, this isn’t the golf clubs fault! Amazing experience and would definitely recommend.
