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.

Monday at Maui Nui

Staff was friendly, bar service is good.

Course is in decent shape, except greens are poor - rough, uneven, inconsistent.

Pace of play was slow, 4 3/4 hours.

Shed at driving range is filthy.

Washrooms were clean.

Fair condition

The course is in fair condition but the malfunctioning gps and changed up holes made it pretty frustrating. Most people use a gps watch or even the gps on the cart and many holes were not where they said they would be.

Storm damage

We have played this course before and really liked it. Unfortunately, the severe storms that we have had has really affected the course. I think they have done a good job with repairs but it is going to take some time before this course can fully recuperate. They are doing the best that they can.

Maui Nui Thoughts

The course is in reasonably decent shape. The greens need work as they’re quite ragged and bumpy.

Some areas of the course are prone to being muddy after it rains; perhaps these areas could be paved.

Staff was friendly and bar afterwards was fun.Bar prices were reasonable.

The inside of the shed at the driving range is filthy and needs a good cleaning.

Washrooms were clean.

Green fees are a bit on the high side, particularly if you’re Canadian dealing with the exchange rate.

Overall we were satisfied.

Disappointing - many greens, tees and fairways NOT in good condition

Though one of the least expensive courses on Maui, this was very disappointing. Many, many problems on the greens - bare ground (no grass), shaggy, bumpy. Some tees also bare ground, some fairways also in very bad shape.

Some nice vistas, both toward the ocean and toward the mountains. Friendly staff.

Course conditions were NOT good. I don't feel it's a good use of $100 (I was visiting from Minnesota) Disappointing as I really wanted to like this course.

Greens pretty beat up.

Lots of either disease, golfer abuse (failure to repair pitch marks)or just winter lack of growth has resulted bare spots. Course has #17 under reconstruction so added a par 3 at #2. Great value for Hawaii and overall a B+ experience.

Underwheming

They were very honest about the 17th green and hole being closed. I understand there were some condition challenges with recent storms however the greens were awful, and the damage to the course was understated and the price was not something I would have paid to play had I known the true condition of this course.

The course staff in the pro shop was cold and we had to ask for help, it was more what I would have expected from a city or municipal course than a resort style course. The greens were long and slow and bumpy. The overall layout wasn’t a spectacular experience but there were a few holes that were pretty cool especially their 9th hole with the lake! It was gorgeous.

Overall, I wasn’t impressed with this course and the overall experience especially for the price we had to pay.

Brutal Conditions

This course needs a ton of work. Ground under repair and torn up on almost every hole. Almost every green is in rough shape, where there is grass on the course, large clumps and strings of clippings. Wet spots, mud, water. All I can say is brutal. This course is in such rough shape. Only positive of this course is brand new carts with range finder touchscreens and speakers. If you just want to get an AM round in quick, and don’t care if you’re playing a goat ranch, then this is the place for you.

Course has great views

First time player of this course and we had a great time exploring the fairways etc…

Staff were friendly etc and rented clubs were good ..

Course has definitely taking a hit from Mother Nature last week with those torrential rains , but I’m sure in time those scars will disappear ..

I do hope the course management targets the greens quality moving forward , to help the appeal of the course…

We still enjoyed our round and plan on going back…
