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.

Maui Nui Quick Review

Staff was polite, perhaps could have been a bit more welcoming.Play was a bit slow, Fairways were in good shape.

Greens were poor - inconsistent and bumpy.

Overall “okay” …….

Fun and Friendly

For the price … a pretty and interesting course. Rough in spots due to weather damage but fun to play with friendly helpful staff and an excellent bar and grill to relax in after.

Disappointed that driving range is not open and that 18th hole is temporarily closed as its otherwise a fun finishing par 5. Overall though, convenient and good value.

Bad condition

Condition in the course is terrible, 18 is still closed, muddy fairways, poor greens. Grass clippings all over the fairways. It’s like they have just given up.

Great Maui course

In terms of value, best course on Maui. Fairways excellent, get great lies, nice layout. Sand traps need work (only about an inch of sand on top of compacted sand) and a couple of the greens are really spotty.

Never Recovered

Compared to other local courses it was not worth playing. They have not recovered from the hurricane a few months ago., Temporary holes, fairways a muddy mess and the greens are in very poor condition. Hopefully in time they can bring it back to a level of quality Maui is known for.

Recovery

We have played in the past and the course was in much better shape. The Tee Boxes are in rough shape with uneven ground and the greens were very furry and bumpy. The 18th hole is under repair so they made a temporary hole to cover it off. We believe the storm that hit the island is the cause for the condition of the course at this time.

We will come back once we find out the condition of the course as it looks like they are working hard to repair.

Many tee boxes and several greens are in very poor condition. It is clear that some money needs to be spent to bring it back up to what it used to be.

Price was fair, compared to the rest of the island.

Open 18th hole!!!!

Played this golf course back in 2008 several times and really enjoyed it. Upon return I found it in much Rougher condition and was willing to overlook muddy fairways but missing the 18th hole and having temporary par threes just made it seem that much more sketchy just being honest.

For the hot deal price it was a good value

Course is in some pretty rough shape. Remodeling 18 so it was a par 69 with lots of par threes and some shortened holes.

Course over priced

This course was in terrible condition from tee box to fairway to greens. The green fees should be reduced in half. No driving range or area to warm up. Course o& play was slow.
