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.

Length 6801 yards

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.

First time playing and course has some renovations going on but still worth playing. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Price was right. Try it! Worth a shot.

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.

Not in Good Shape

The course was muddy in sections.

The 18th hole was under repair and no notification was given prior to booking.

Our cart broke down on the ninth hole.

Beware of the greens

Hi the greens currently at this course are in horrible condition

They are un groomed, dry and bumpy

The fairways are not much better

Hopefully they can get them up to par

I am glad I didn’t pay full price to play

Also the bathrooms are dirty

Especially the one by the maintenance shed

Disgusting 🤮

Good value golf on Maui

Very easy to access, and great value for golf on Maui. Course is in pretty good condition, and they are redoing the green on 18. A temporary alternate hole 1B was fine. Pace of play was fine, easy to finish in 4 hours. Staff is friendly and accommodating.

Maui Nui review

I thought the course layout was good. The wind was the biggest challenge especially on the back nine.

Greens were a little shaggy.

It was stated on the bottom of the scorecard that hole 18 was closed for renovation, which when we completed our round on hole 17 we could see that it was a very good finishing hole. They added a hole on the front side, so you do play 18.

The scorecard was printed on copy paper and stated that it is one hole off after #1. Very confusing.

Also there is no course rating and the slope is not accurate so don't expect to post your score.

As for value, it was worth the price paid. Would I play it again, yes, especially now that I have played it one time.

Ground under repair!

I was totally disappointed by the condition of the course. For the money I was charged I did not have any advance notice but the course was under repair. There was lots of mud and standing water. There was no direction on a hole change to indicate they were rerouting golfers. The scorecards were copies made from a personal computer. It was a Saturday morning and there was no cart service until we hit the 16th hole. Felt the cost for play was too expensive for the condition of the course.

Pace of play

By the time we hit the 7th hole there were two groups on every hole. Long waits. I watched one guy hit 4 shots and still had not reached the forward tee on a par 5. There were no rangers to help speed things up. The course is in great shape.

Decent golf in Maui

The course itself is very nice. Unfortunately though, there are no hole markers on any holes, no ball washers anywhere, the GPS does not work because they replaced the 18th hole with a par 3 hole right between the 2nd and 3rd hole, which throws everything off. It was confusing to say the least. But for the discounted price I got through Tee Off it was well worth a little confusion.

Maui Nui is a great course to start your Maui vacation

Maui Nui is a fun course still with challenges to keep all golf levels engaged. We played on the first day of vacation and had a wonderful time. The only down side, they are working on hole 18 and it’s closed temporarily. In doing this the course track is temporarily changed a little confusing to follow but again did not temper our fun in playing.

Needs some work

Course is under renovation. 18, the par 5 signature hole is closed replaced with a make shift par 3. Greens were ridiculously slow and some in bad shape. Normally a really fun course and a bargain on Maui, but know what you are buying right now
