Course Highlights

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.

Disappointed but understanding

The course is undergoing significant improvement efforts. The 18th hole was completely closed which was never communicated at time of booking or on their website. There were other large areas that were what I'm assuming were ground under repair. I'm it's current state I'd say the course was maybe in fair condition. The staff were super nice and friendly. Rental clubs were in good shape. I wouldn't recommend it to someone right now in it's current condition but once work is completed I would give it another try if I'm on Maui again.

Course renovations underway but still very playable

Number 18 is closed but you still get 18 holes as a existing backup par 3 was activated. Layout still a little clunky and fairways thinner than usual and more wet/muddy spots but very playable. Greens in good condition overall.

This is till one of Maui’s “best” golf values and the staff are excellent!

Marginal at Best

For golf on Maui this course is just OK. But the fee to play makes it worth it. The greens were OK, but fairways & tee boxes were bad,

Not bad for a “municipal”!

You’re in Hawaii… enjoy it! Just don’t overpay for the next few months as they are reworking the 18th and as a result a number of changes have been made to the course. New par 3 second hole, a shortened par 5 2nd now 3rd hole (also now a par 4) and a missing par 5 18th make the golf experience a little tainted. Course knowledge definitely makes a difference as well, so next time I’m in Maui, I will definitely plan to play the course again.

Great course for the money

Great course for the money. I enjoy playing this course. It has a decent layout. Back nine fairways are a bit rough but doesn’t make a big difference. You can’t beat the price at this place compared to other courses on Maui especially the resort courses like Wailea.

Expensive for course conditions

Greens were slow, 18th hole closed for green restoration, irrigation work/repair in progress on 1/2 the holes. Restaurant was closed. I got a Hot Deal, but feel like I over charged.

Course conditions poor

Been playing here for years and I’ve never seen so much dirt and rocks. The grass is dead and gone. Looking more like a goat track. That’s the main reason many don’t play Pukalani, too arid.

Budget Friendly Hawaiian Golf

Great place to play golf in Hawaii for under $100. Staff were friendly, course was in really good condition. Greens were in excellent condition. Great views of the ocean. Pace of play was good but who really cares? You're golfing in Hawaii! Well worth every penny.

Poor Course Condition & Slow Greens

The best part was pace of play. The worst was course condition with almost every hole having significant spots where it was muddy, patchy and the greens were frustratingly slow. No real beautiful views or memorable holes. We did play in under 4 hours.
