Royal Ka'anapali

If you’re on vacation in Maui you will love this course. Fair price and great greens. The rental clubs were very nice as well.

Had a couple circles on the card. Windy conditions- tricky fast greens

This was a great bargain through Golf Now. Kaanapali Royal is an outstanding course and we played in less than 4 hours.

If I had to play at 10:00 am I’d rather give my $175 to Wailea Old Blue. It’s in better condition.

I bookeda $99 rate at 2:30, showed up an hour early and got out right away. There aren’t many players in that noon to 2:00 bracket.

I am writing this review as I’m playing my round, so that should telL you about the pace of play. We have waited on every single shot since the 4th hole. No Marshall. Today I am playing the royal. I played the Kai a couple days ago and it was the same thing. Course layout is good. Conditions of fairways and greens are descent. Bunkers are like concrete. Tee box’s are not good. I haven’t played in the morning but my guess is it’s not much better. I’d look elsewhere. I won’t be back.

It’s a nice course but for the money it should be better. No Marshal and way over booked so +5 hr round

Go early

Nice course in great condition. Fair landing areas off the tees with greens well protected by bunkers. Pace was a little slow but the views made it no problem. Small driving range with mats only but large practice greens. A little over priced but would play it again.

Challenging layout, great setting. Course was in terrific condition. Teeing off at 12:42 PM, we played in less than four hours. Driving range is weak, but everything else was first rate.

I would of liked a credit to play another course. It was brutal with high winds and rain. You can’t get a refund unless the course closes. Which probably will never happen. I’ll think twice about using Golf Now for rounds in the future.

We stayed at a nearby hotel which offered my family 3 free rounds if we walked in through a timeshare presentation, a no brainer. When we got to the course they gave us a deal to rent clubs and I was expecting a run down set, no sir, we got year old titleists! They had a wide variety of shaft types for lefties and righties which is great.

As the course is concerned, it was a beautiful course that was maintained very well. A few holes seemed a little too close to the hotels/homes/ parking lot, but it was more a preference then an actual problem.

Sticker price for the course is a little steep, so I would make sure to get a deal. Under $150 and it's totally worth it.

Mahalo!

The Royal Kaanapali is the longer of the 2 resort courses located within walking distance of the Kaanapali Alii resort where we stayed. The course was longer, with a little more forgiveness in the fairways and plays completely different than the Kaanapali Kai course and I highly recommend playing both courses with 2 different views of the island. The greens were true and in great condition just like the Kai as well as the fairways. The staff was great and even offered great tips for reading the greens, made you feel like you were on your home course.

I am a newer golfer (5 years) and I found this course a perfect mix of challenges. The course employees were so kind to me which is not always the case for a woman golfer playing alone. I would highly recommend the course for any level golfer.

We played this course to get something different than the Plantation and Bay in Kapalua. The course was in very good condition. The views were nice, but I had been spoiled by the Plantation and Bay Course views at Kapalua by the time we played this one. There was also a lot of foot traffic near the hotels surrounding the first and last holes, as I suppose most tourists may not realize that a golf course is not a walking park. It was worth playing for the price and a change of pace.

The 2 courses at Ka'anapoli, The layout and the views are superior to the Kai course. The staff was very friendly and the food at the 19th hole was very good as well. Both courses are great resort courses that are a fair test but enable you to thoroughly enjoy your round.

had a perfect day, Royal course is long and lots of bunkers. the course was in perfect shape greens are firm but fair. perfect fairways a must play when on Maui.

I played this course while we were on holidays, simply amazing!!

Great conditions overall, fairways and greens were perfect, really another level!

Driving range was in great conditions as well and with fantastic facilities.

Course desing in funny and a mix of tougher and easier holes,just a pleasure playing it!

Then you have the sea and the beach just aside...pure joy!

Staff was friendly and professional and we simply dream to come back again one day!

Kaanapali hosted the Senior Skins Game from 2008-2011 and a Big Break, so it has a nice tournament pedigree. The course feels wide open, but it is very challenging and seems to play long. A lot of the greens are very elevated and guarded by bunkers, making approach shots more strenuous than tee shots.

A nice variety of holes and elevation changes keep the golf interesting. You even have one green close to the ocean. It's near a walking path, so you'll likely have onlookers clapping if you make the putt.

A pond separating the first fairway from the 18th is the only water hazard but it is definitely formidable.A meal at Roy's after the round is a must. The food is fabulous, and the dessert, a chocolate souffle, is legendary.

Great service - Class staff best views in paradise -

Terrific layout
