Maui Nui Golf Club

First things first, the staff was amazing. Course was in solid shape, they are clearly working on parts of the course ( irrigation, construction, general usage repair, etc). None of that affected the great round I experienced.

Black volcanic sand was amazing, completely different than mainland sands. Course was a great value. Is it the plantation course or Walia gold, no. But dollar for dollar the value was there. Next time in Hawaii I will play this course again

Good deal compared to supposedly nicer courses like kaanapali.

Course was in extremely poor condition. Greens were half dead or infected with some fungus. Fairways had areas of just dirt and rocks. Tee boxes poor shape, some with incl grass; others no grass. Overall avoid this course.

Front 9 played relatively easy. Back 9 was very challenging. Course was in immaculate condition. Greens rolled like a thin carpet. Fairways and tee clean and well maintained. Have played this course several times while on Maui. This time the course was near perfect.

For some one from the Midwest the Bermuda grass is a challenge to chip and put. Nice views up Haleakela and to the ocean. Played in 3:45, great pace.

First time golfing in Maui and although Maui Nui GC has a decent layout with interesting holes, course conditions not acceptable for paying over $100. Several greens were beat up and played very slow. Many tee boxes not good either and need more mowing. If you want an inexpensive course compared to the top notch courses on Maui, this course is probably okay but I expected better. The Calloway rental clubs were very good.

Nice staff, ok layout but currently playing as a par 69, due to construction a par 3 was added as the 2nd hole and a par 5 on the back is not playable. Target golf with lots of layups off the tee. Greens were ok but slow. Ok to play if you get a good rate.

A giant Wedding party of 8+ golfers and then an adult with a 2 year old and treating the course as a child day care who was in and out of the cart and playing chase the kid,all ahead of us made for miserable slow play, need a Marshaller. I quit after hole 9 at 2 hours and 35 minutes for 9 holes.

Overall great experience the staff is always very friendly and helpful

Gilligan’s bar and grill has good food and a wonderful staff and great atmosphere.

I booked a last minute tee time at Maui Nui and played the first six holes on my own before I caught up to a single in front of me and we joined forced for the rest of the round. The golf course had just punched its greens and they were not in peak condition. But otherwise, Maui Nui was fun. The layout is solid with the back nine a little more adventurous than the front as it climbs the hillside and drops back down. The early afternoon trade winds added to the back nine challenge. In a land of high-end resort courses, Maui Nui offers affordable, no frills golf which was appreciated.

If you're wanting to play golf on the south end of Maui, Maui Nui is the value choice. With Makena having gone private and Wailea being very proud of themselves, an average Joe like me can only find value at Maui Nui. Course conditions are not what they used to be, but the course is decent enough and the layout is still a ton of fun and the staff is great. Of course, the downside is that a ton of people like to play it, which made for a slow round on Wednesday.

My wife and I played here. We were a twosome and played in under 4 hours even with the course being fairly busy. Course was in great shape and the layout was enjoyable. Greens were in terrific shape. They were aerating the next day, so I don't know the current shape.
