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.

Avoid playing this course

The greens are in very poor condition; tee boxes also poor, rough and undulating; several fairways were unkept with unfinished ongoing work, looked like it had been that way for weeks; starter staff was rude and unpleasant.

We like the course

My main complaint is the try to cram on too many groups in the am. We were scheduled to go out at 8:54 am and it was about 30 minutes later that we got off. The first few holes were very slow but the pace of play pickup up about the 4th hole. We finished 18 holes in about 4 hr 30 min.

We will go back again as it is good value on Maui and a nice course.

Back in 2 years, can't wait! Bill & Louise

Kenny’s Maui nui review

Need to keep in mind they had major floods the week before we played and course condition may not be their norm. Driving range was under repair and there were no food options other than chips/candy. Nice views and nice layout, not too difficult and will give this course another try next time I’m in Maui. Staff was very nice and found their gold apparel very appealing!

Terrible greens

The greens are in horrible condition with the exception of number 18. There appears to be no attention given to clean up of cart paths, etc.. this course has the potential to be very nice, but is sorely lacking TLC

Course in poor shape

We have played Maui Nui several times over the past 18 years and the conditions have really gone down hill in past 4. The greens are horrible, the pace of play is slow, the range is closed, the cart break doesn’t work properly.

We won’t be back until conditions improve.

Terrible greens

Well I hate to write a bad review but this course this year deserved it, I’ve played this course several years but not sure what happened this year but worst shape I’ve ever seen it, Greens were terrible pocked up and many with diseased grass..? Bunkers hard red dirt, fairways not much better, driving range has been closed for months, almost looks like the course is not putting in money into it to keep it up..? only thing I can say it was great weather and cheap to play for a Maui course..

Depending on what you pay . . . .

How you rate this course depends on what you paid. We got a great deal ($55) on GolfNow and we were happy. If you paid over $70, I would be a little disappointed. The greens are bumpy and the tee boxes are not that great either. BUT for $55, we were satisfied. Will likely only play this course once during our month long stay.
