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.

Better than expected

I had read a lot of bad reviews about the course condition prior to our trip to Maui this year. Booked it anyway as I thought it would be a good first round on the island. I was happily surprised by the condition of the course and the greens. The fairways were in good shape in my opinion, and the greens had been healing from the winter rain and lack of sunshine damage and were just fine. A little slow maybe but much better than the reviews I had read. We played a fast paced round in right at 3 hours.

Best price for golf on Maui

This course has always been our “go to” course when we visit Maui. Course is fun and challenging. They are doing work on a couple of holes so more par threes than we are used to. Staff are friendly and the restaurant, Gilligans, has good solid food at the best prices you’ll find in the Wailea area.

Good layout; enjoyable course

Played here numerous times and I enjoy the course. It’s a fun layout and the staff are always friendly. Good value for the $$$. Only thought is the greens could be worked on some..they were a little rough in places and very slow in other spots. Fairways and tees overall were in good condition. Bottom line: I like playing here when we come to Maui and would recommend the course.

Greens very uneven and rough

Okay course for practice. It has been in better condition in the past. One par 5 is closed and has been replaced by a par 3 so slope and ratings are not available. Greens very rough so putting well for score is difficult.

Good day

We had fun golfing here— some of course under construction so a little confusing— no bathrooms at clubhouse a problem— only outhouse due to remodeling. Overall it was fun golfing here!

Good layout...

I've played Maui Nui probably 15 times over the past 20 years. The course has a great layout and a number of challenging holes. It's a fun course to play. Unfortunately, I have never seen the greens in this bad shape. Very slow, and some greens had patches of dirt on them, which made putting somewhat variable. Did I mention they were slow...

Course staff is excellent. Couldn't figure out why they were playing a temporary #2 (par three) and had #3 (old #2) reduced to a long par 4 versus a par 5, as #17 (nice par 3) was shut down even though it looked to be in perfect condition. I hope they get back to their normal layout and routing, and get the greens in more playable shape.
