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.

Great course for the price on Maui, well worth playing

Staff were all great, course was nice and in decent shape. Good value for Maui golf, also has a well equipped driving range which would be a great place to hang out and have some drinks even if you’re not playing a round.

Course is very approachable, not overly challenging or tough. Carts had speakers and plenty of cup holders, cooler, gps etc. Proshop has some cool stuff and is reasonably priced.

Overall a great experience and had a good time.

Greatest staff on the island / Loving the new redesign on a couple of the holes.

Right off first, I want to include the ENTIRE STAFF, to walking in and receiving a Great Smile and a “good morning” from the check-in staff, to the Starters, and receiving your almost new cart, with AI features and smart phone two speaker hook-up to play your music. And full of ice and a wet towel !

I got my first hole-in-one here. I waited since I was eight years old to get my first Ace, about 10 years ago now. A 198 yard with an easy three wood. I believe I’m about due again. Because if I have to wait another 50 years, I’m in a deep Sand Pit of trouble, LOL !! I’ve been attending this Golf Course since about 2009. It has always had a great staff. The course has always been in good, if not great shape. Also, to be fair, every Golf course gets its bout with a weed or some kind of disease, on the greens. But I can tell you proudly and for sure, that Maui Nui stays on top of it. As fast as they hear about it, even from customers. Because we ( as players of this great game), do also have a responsibility to let them know, there might be a spot breaking out on whatever Whole or Green you’re on. It just makes good sense to communicate to someone, rather than let the weed or a disease, destroy all of the Greens, ( And then you want to complain about it ). It is a team effort when it comes to taking care of a golf course.

The price is fair and great for locals (Thank you for thinking of us). I would most Definitely recommend Maui Nui, to all Visitors. Also, to beginners, intermediate and advanced players. Great bunker, placements and water play. A great challenging course to have fun at. I shoot in a low 90s most of the time, with breaking into the high 80s once in a while. So, i’m not really sure where that ranks me as a player, intermediate…? Definitely not in the Advance player, otherwise I’d be on the PGA Tour, LOL !!

The new GM that has been there for about eight years now, (If I remember correctly). I remember His first day, on the job. It was an honor and a pleasure, to meet Him and to welcome Him to Maui. I wished Him much Aloha and luck. He has really Improved certain areas that needed attention to, as courses do age. It is always a pleasure to greet him. He has put together a Great Complete Staff that is all smiles and always willing to help get You out on the course ! A Big Thank You, to him. He Is consistently trying to improve your experience. Please understand, No disrespect to all of the other, Fine and Beautiful courses on Maui, but there are just a couple that could take a few, “inputs” from Him. Congratulations to you, on a job well done, and to All of your hard working colleagues. It’s not an easy thing to work with the public, it takes special people to do that. I sincerely believe, you have found a lot of them, to help you get to where you’re at now.

Sincerely,

RG.

I like the layout. Greens were beyond awful, cart girl was nice, the girl at the pro shop told us there was no food but a guy we played with got a sandwich at the turn. Very, very slow round 5+ hours.

Cost Effective

Beautiful course, well kept, not too hard. It doesn't cost hundreds to play here like most other courses. Moved nicely. Carts read distance. Plenty of parking. Best value on Maui!

Maui Nui

Overall, I enjoyed my round. Some of the greens were in poor shape and the tee boxes could use a little attention too. The first nine holes run parallel to a major road so at the afternoon rush hours the sound of idling cars, horns and some sirens was never far away. Not a big deal but can be avoided by golfing earlier. Nice layout though, and the back nine I nestled away so it's quieter and very pretty. I'd golf here again. Plus I booked through GolfNow so my round, including cart, was only $28.31 total! With that in mind it was a great deal.
