Royal Ka'anapali
About
Maui's Ka'anapali Resort is built upon 1,200 acres of land home to ancient Hawaiian royalty and is home to two 18-hole championship golf courses. The Royal Ka'anapali course was built in 1962 and designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., who created undulating greens and wide fairways to accent views of the Pacific Ocean and West Maui Mountains. This championship challenge has played host to such events as the Champions TOUR Ka'anapali Classic for 14 years, LPGA Kemper Cup and Shell's Wonderful World of Golf, and such legends as Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Chi Chi Rodriguez, Jan Stephanson and Betsy King have competed here. Guests of the Ka'anapali Resort receive discounts on green fees at both Royal Ka'anapali and newer Ka'anapali Kai, which was extensively renovated in 2005.

Beautiful Course on beautiful day, rental clubs banged up!
What a beautiful, well laid out course. I had such a fun round but was quite disappointed with my rental clubs given what was paid and expected. My irons were a mixed and matched set of titleist and my hybrid and 3 wood had significant dents. I will be back but I will take care and time in reviewing the set of clubs provided.
No marshals
The views and layout are amazing. The way the course is managed is sub par - grouchy and rude. On the day we played - it was raining. We decided to play anyway. The group in front was playing horribly slow and it was impossible to play through. After asking the cart host if they could help - nothing changed. Basically a 5.5 hour round with only 4 or 5 groups on the course.
For the amount of money - play elsewhere
We’re sorry to hear that we weren’t able to provide you with the best experience possible. Thank you for your feedback! Since your review, we have required all staff members to undergo additional customer service training. Hope you’ll give us another chance in the future. Mahalo.

Swing away
With the pandemic still going on Kaanapali Royal still puts up the good service. Had a great time playing on the royal course. Fairways bunkers greens we’re all in such great shape. I’ll recommend the Royal to anyone.

First time at Royal Kaanapali
The course was great! The only reason it did not get a Five Star was because the greens had been aerated so putting was a chore!. Easily playable! For all golfers!
I would recommend this course!
