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.

We golf here every year.

We really like this course. This time we noticed that they have some irrigation issues. Maybe they just don't have enough worker to take care of the course.

Pretty course

While one hole was closed and others had muddy conditions, this was still a fun and pretty course. And a good value.

Mixed bag with great views

The staff is extremely friendly and does a great job accommodating players. When space allows, players can go out in pairs, or even singles. We were allowed to play the back 9 twice when we asked. Our round was 3.5 hours.

Course conditions were fairly poor until the 15th hole, where the greens were overhauled. #15, 17 and 18 are new and in great shape, albeit a bit grainy, like most Hawaiian golf courses.

The layout is fun, with a good mix of easy and more challenging holes, but there are a number of blind tee shots.

The carts have GPS, but a range finder is a must. The greens can be large, so the distance given by the GPS can be up to 15 yards off when measuring distance to the pin, even though the GPS says "to the pin."

There are fantastic views of the island to be had, but many are from a green looking backwards, so take your time playing and look around and check out the views.

The driving range is not pretty, but players hit in the shade (which is a real blessing in the Hawaiian sun) and each bay has a Top Tracer computer to give all kinds of data about each shot. That's a game changer!

Great golfing

Maui Nui never fails to provide a great golf experience for visitors to Maui. The price is great with a hot deal on golf now. The staff are all very nice and organized as there alot of players stacked up sometimes to tee off. The greens were a little rough, but otherwise the course was good. Many challenging holes and we always meet the nicest players.

Very nice course

Had a great time playing this course several times and joined the annual play card. It allows us to play several times on our visit and later this year when we return. Great STAFF, Food and Golf. Couldn’t be any better. Have played this course every year that we come. We have been coming over 20 years. Thank you Maui Nui

It Was Meh

This was my first time in HI and I opted for a cheaper option to play. The course condition was not the best, random dead spots and construction areas, greens were long and slow. Not really worth the 100$+ I paid to play.

Great Value!

Had a wonderful round! The staff is really friendly and very accommodating. The course was fairly wide and had some ocean views. You can't get any better price for the value. We rented clubs from them and received a bag of 6 balls along with newer Callaway clubs. The course and driving range aren't in the best condition, but we had a really fun time!

Save your money if you’re visiting Maui.

Played Maui Nui prior to traveling home from vacation. This is easily one of the worst golf courses I’ve ever played. Took ovet 5 hours and we had to leave early to catch our flight. Course layout was promising but it was in horrible condition and not worth the price if you don’t get a local discount. Had to move pretty much every ball in the fairway to find grass, greens rolled like shag carpeting, all of the water containers on the course were empty on a hot day and the driving range had real Tin-Cup vibes. Save your money if you’re in Maui on vacation. At least the staff was very friendly!

Course is not in very good shape, pace of play, wait on every hole with only groups of two in front, no marshall. One twosome only had one set of clubs, where is marshal? Not worth the money, Pukalania waybetter n less money.
