Type Resort

Length 6801 yards
Slope 135
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.

Poor Condition

The greens were awful. The course itself was in pretty rough shape. This course has really gone down hill in the past few years. Lots of better options for not much more money. Dunes at Maui Lani for example. Don't waste your money here.

Nice Round

Nice course, and in decent shape for the most part. It's off the beaten path for tourists, so mostly a local course. The staff was friendly, and the pace of play was excellent. Had a 7:15am tee time and there was no food or beverage options before our round. Beverage cart came around once on the back nine because they don't start until 9:00am., no food options on the cart. Restaurant didn't open until 11:00 so no food after the round either. A bit overpriced compared to other course options on the island.

Not great - wouldn't play there again

Course is not in good shape (especially after the storm in Dec) Staff could be a bit more courteous, and the food card should have some food , not just snacks.

Decent value in convenient location

Always enjoy the layout. Greens slow and bumpy unfortunately.

They were ‘running behind’ on Sunday afternoon, so teed off 15min late. Pace of play was decent given late tee off.

Fun Round in Maui

I had a great time playing this course with a couple of nice guys the starter paired me with. Everything was perfect. I did have to start before I could warm up or practice putting; I was about 30-40 minutes early but the starter wanted to put me out right away. Can't complain though because my playing partners were friendly and knew the course -- very helpful! The course had closed their lounge so there was no food or bar service available, but they did run a beverage cart on the course so all was fine.

Maui Golf Funtimes

Very playable course if you are visiting Maui and don’t need to pay a premium to play the resort courses. Maui Nui has a friendly layout, affordable prices and friendly staff. The bar was closed for some reason but they did have a beverage cart that came around twice during our round. Great golf experience!

Decent, and I mean that.

Lots of kvetching in the comments about conditioning and things, but let’s seriously check ourselves. This is a good layout with okay conditions that is well priced in this market. In Maui at 50-60 bucks this is a winner. Sure the greens could be quicker and yeah, there is some dirt out there where there could be grass, but layout is decent, holes are interesting, and everyone can just get over themselves and play some golf on Maui at a fair price. Weather was perfect and my resident playing partners were friendly. All good.

Enjoyable day with good friends!

Very friendly staff especially the cart organizer. Course was in rough shape due to recent rains and water run off.

Clubhouse was closed so no 19th hole. Disappointing!

Greens were a little hairy and the ball did not run as good as it should have.

Still an enjoyable day at a reasonable price!
