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.

Sad to see an old favorite in trouble.

This was my go-to course for many years, but based on today’s round I think I will wait a while to play again.

I guess they have had some issues and I’m not sure what they were, but the 17th hole is totally closed and another was shortened to about half its length. Greens were in pretty rough shape with lots of dead spots and fairways were also rough.

I used to love this course and I really hope they get it back in shape soon.

Nice Course

The course is very nice. They had reconfigured some of the holes, so gps was wrong. There are no Hole indicators or ball cleaners.

Maui Nui 7/17/23

Decided to play at last minute on Monday afternoon, booked online with GolfNow, good price and went without a hitch at course. GREAT staff, all very friendly and helpful. Starter was hanging out in a cart at the barn, grabbed a cooler for my cart when the beverage cart lady arrived before I teed off. She found me twice during the round, good attention! I played on my own, two balls most holes, great time and a great course! Windy as all get-out, but not their fault lol!!

Disappointing

I expected more for a course in Maui. The course isn’t in great shape. The greens aren’t very well k kept and the fairways are worse. Lots of bare spots that need to be addressed. The course is definitely playable, but need a lot of attention.

Prepare to be stacked up!

8-minutes between foursomes. The course was stacked up so badly it took 5-and-a-half hours to finish. Started my round at 10am. Beverage cart did not have any descent sandwiches available. $8 hot dogs and they're not the 1/4 pound variety either. Finished my round at 3:30pm.

Unsatisfying

Don’t recommend this course. Was able to land a hot deal to play in the course. When staff realized that I had booked my round with hot deal they treated me like a second class citizen. The starter made me wait for my hot deal tee time even though I was ready to play and there was nobody teeing off at least 30 minutes until my time. The course was not in good condition and hole 17 was closed so they created another hole between holes one and two. Threw my gps off until hole 18. Next time I am in Maui I will not waste my time on this course. Would rather spend a little more money for better service and better course.

Worst Conditions I ever experienced

I have literally played a few thousand rounds in my life. Without question these were the worst course conditions I ever experienced. Tee boxes were an uneven area of unrepaired divots. Greens were bumpy, slow, uneven and impossible to even make a 3 foot putt. Sand traps were uneven and shaped like salad bowls, with steep edges and very much flat space. The only good news was there was not many people on the course so we could finish in 3 hours.

One of the best in Maui if you’re not looking for the $250 rounds. Amazing staff and ocean views
