Maui Nui Golf Club

This was our second round of golf at Maui Nui this vacation and we have played it on previous visits to Maui, and will definitely play it again in the future. When I rated it 4 stars on a previous review the management seemed disappointed that I hadn’t given it 5 stars. But this is not a 5 star resort, the driving range needed new mats and an easy way to tee up for a driver and maybe some yardage markers. Some of the greens were not in the best shape although overall the conditions were very good. Ball washers on the course would have been nice. The club house was fine, and the attached restaurant was good but nothing fancy ( we did have a good cocktail and delicious coconut shrimp). So the club is not in the same class as say Kapalua or Wailea, but we just can’t justify paying 3-4 times the green fees at those kind of courses when we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves playing Maui Nui. So, while some minor upgrades could be done, I sincerely hope that they don’t make any major changes that would make them increase their green fees. For us, 4 stars is exactly what we’re looking for!

Course is well located, friendly staff. Fairways are in decent shape, greens are slow and/or inconsistent.

No ball washers. Our cart stalled many times, signs are needed to direct carts near tee boxes and greens.

Pace was a bit slow.

Overall- our round was “okay”…..

In interesting course and layout made it fun to play. If you need more challenge just move to the back tees. We would have finished in three hours but hit a very slow beginner trying to play from back tees. We still finished in under 3.5 hours.

Canadian golfer that loves playing Maui golf courses was honestly shocked how poor of a condition Maui Nui was. For some unknown reason, no hole signs, the front 9 was a complete mess with trees everywhere. Bunkers had 2 different soil types, some with sand and some with grinded up lava rock...very weird. Sod farm in front of the par 3 17th hole????? Even the golf cart GPS was out of sink without any golf hole signs...really!

Do not play this course, total waste of money. Pukalani golf course (see my review) was in 10 times the shape at half the cost. Aloha.

We played mid week and mid day, and had a log jam on the 2nd hole with 5-6 groups on the hole. Pace of Play was very slow at about 5 hours. Other than that, the course was nice and fun to play, and a good value for Hawaii.

Fun course. Not overwhelming hard for average players.

People were so nice and friendly

Serviceable course. Fairways in generally good condition; greens variable. Super windy - gusts of 30 mph, which the staff said are typical - "it's Kihei". Inexpensive by Maui standards, but you get what you pay or don't pay for.

A very nice course - Challenging without being punishing for a mid-handicapper. Beautiful views. Excellent value for the money and we will play it again. Had a nice happy hour cocktail (prepared by our lovely server Courtney) and coconut shrimp in the restaurant after the round.

The greens on the front nine were rough, full of divots, and not great to say the least. There were no restrooms on the back and we never saw a beverage cart. However, the greens on the back were much nicer. It’s worth playing if you get a deal on your green fees but I wouldn’t pay full price.

It’s unfortunate that they aren’t putting any money into keeping the course nice. It use to be a good course to play but it has really went down hill. Not coming back.
