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.

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.

Good for casual practice play

Maui Nui is not the place you go to expect ideal conditions suitable for an upscale golf experience. This is a public facility that is very busy with local players. Mixing in the amount of tourist play it receives obviously makes ongoing course conditions very challenging to maintain. This is a casual atmosphere great for practice. Enjoy Nui with patience and understanding of what you signed up for.

course a bit ragged, but good price

The greens were spotty but fairways and most tee-boxes in good shape. At present they've added a par 3 practice hole as they rotate holes for renovation. I had a 9 am tee time to avoid the typically windy conditions in the afternoon on Maui, but that didn't work out. It was very windy -- like 3 clubs on 5 or holes directly into the wind, Overall, it is a decent course and good value with GolfNow as compared to the Wailea courses which charge 3 or 4 times as much and are not 3 or 4 times better.

Very friendly staff

Better than expected course condition. They rearranged course and couple of holes were shorter than it used to be.

Strong wind made game difficult but worth it to play and spend time out.

I would like to play again.

Challenging Course

Not just an expensive resort course. Maui Nui was way more challenging than the Wailea courses, just not as plush at less than half the price.

First time playing this course

Great layout. Course runs a smidge narrow in some areas which makes it’s a little challenging. Back 9 is more forgiving. Great time. Staff is friendly. Good for beginners and up.
