Course Highlights
Maui Nui's exceptionally friendly staff and outstanding value make it a top pick among Hawaii's golf courses. The challenging layout rewards shot accuracy and delivers stunning views of Haleakala and the ocean.

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.

Best hole is closed

#18 is closed for greens work. Easily the best hole on the course. Why not a temporary green so we can play the hole? They squeezed in a short par 3 after number one which throws off the gps on watches and carts alike so you are not playing the hole number you’re seeing. Greens were ok. Fairways about the same.

Planned on lunch afterwards at the restaurant but pricing way out of line so we left. If you’re looking for a nice practice round this would be ok. If you’re visiting and want to really enjoy Maui golf, go elsewhere.

Good course to warm up your vacation

Nice course to get your golf started (blow the rust off). Friendly staff, good value and easy to keep ball in play. The construction takes away at this time but the upggrades are much needed. The 18th hole is unavailable due to green reconstruction. If you pay prime time rate you will be dissappointed. Look for a tee off dot come deal or after 10:30 rate. We had fun.

Golf in Paradise

Maui Nui is a special course because it is such a friendly environment. The staff welcomes you with aloha. They have never met a stranger. Maui Nui offers a good price for regulars and maintains excellent guest relations. The course offers excellent practice facilities so I use the driving range often.

I call this my "home" course and meet buddies here for a challenging and fun day.

Good Value for some Golfers

I wondered why there were very mixed reviews about this course. After playing it, I think I know why. If you are used to average and/or economical courses and you are an average golfer, this course has some nice elements to it. Some decent views, some holes with creative layout, and mostly decent greens. But if you are a good golfer (single digit handicap) and/or are used to playing nice courses, this course will likely disappoint.

The course is under repair, especially the 18th hole. The squeezed in an extra par 3 (new hole #2) to compensate.

Nice course but storm damaged

Nice course. Greens were nice. Lots of muddy spots and washout on parts of the course due to a recent storm. Course was very wet during our round. A couple of blind tee shots, resulting in us getting hit into twice. Starter and pro shop lady very nice. GPS on carts.

Only complaints are: 18th hole was closed and we were not told so. No hole markers on holes, so it was confusing. The GPS hole indication was incorrect due to 18th closure. Very confusing. I would play again if conditions were better.
