Course Highlights

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.

Great Pace of Play

Played an 8am round and finished under 4hrs. If you can get a discounted round then you’re all set for a great time at Maui Nui. Greens are in need a lot of help. Black sand bunkers are in decent shape. Course played we considering the stormy evening and early AM.

What happened?

Played in years past. Was decent. Came out to play with a friend that lives in Kihei. Greens were in terrible shape. Rocks along many cart paths. Bunkers had very little sand. I know it’s expensive to maintain a course. But. What happened?

Very disappointing

Greens in terrible shape with 3 or 4 exceptions. Should not be charging full green fees. On course washroom filthy.

Generally play this course when in Maui. May never do so again.

Needs more TLC

It was an enjoyable day BUT the course, particularly the front 9, is not in good shape. The greens have lots of bare spots and very, very slow. The back 9 is in better shape. We have played this course annually for a number of years and it needs some TLC. It has declined.

Fun track...good value

I enjoy the track....it is a little scrubby with a few greens having some problems but it is a fun golf course and pace of play was 4:15 on a saturday late am...which is great for public course on a weekend that gets a lot of local play.

The range is great with top tracer to get some stats on your practice.

Bottom line is that I won't write home about this course but I did enjoy my round. Not a long course but fun with its own challenges...

Rough shape

I played this course twice last year and it was in pretty good shape. This year it seemed like most of the holes were under construction. My group and I decided to choose a different course after we played on February 4. Overall, we were disappointed.

Fun round

Fair golf course for the money. Seems to always be under construction. Signs directing people to #10 not accurate. All in all, fun time.

Poor conditions

Decent layout, poor conditions. Very disappointed in the maintenance of the course. Greens in bad shape and bare spots throughout the course. Proshop staff is friendly, not so much for starter and cart staff.

Worst greens ever

This course has a great layout spoiled by green conditions that would beg for automatic 2 putts. Many large areas in all but last 3 greens were burnt out, up to 35% of the green in splotches all over making putting pure guess work.

Good value for the money

Fairways are in decent shape. Greens are rough, many with patches of missing turf. Sand traps contain thin amounts of sand, making flop shots difficult. Construction around several holes has left portions of the course in poor repair. The course layout is fairly challenging so does offer a reasonable test of golfer skill. Convenient location of the course is a plus.

Not sure why but quite a drop off in the quality of the course since we last played this course (two years ago). The greens and fairways had a lot of dead spots. Lots of debris (likely from on course work) around cart paths and on the course.
