Royal Ka'anapali

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

This course is perfect for a holiday golf destination with great vistas, good value if you buy a three round package (you save on the rounds and get free rentals). It has generous fairways and several lengths that you can play the course at.

Beautiful open course. Only 1 lake/water hazard in play on the 1st and 18th so I went around without losing a ball which is nice.

Greens were tough to read and the grass is very different that what I have ever played in Canada and England. Great fun and some beautiful holes.

Played this course while on vacation in Late October. Course is very nice with amazing views and wide open fairways. Greens though are very demanding and you must place your ball on the correct level or have a demanding difficult putt. The wind also plays a huge role in club selection, up on the hill I found it necessary to take an extra club or two. I was a little disappointed by the range which is small and we were hitting off mats. Range buckets are very small and there are only about 10-12 hitting stalls. It was also very warm and humid and though they give you a cooler with ice, water is not included. Usually when I pay that much to golf in a warm environment water bottles are included, though there are water stations throughout course. Also, the beverage cart was broken and was parked on course with limited access to it. golfing was fun though and that bermuda rough is tough.

I played this course during my holidays,simply amazing!

Great conditions overall,fairways greens even the sand in the bunkers was perfect!

Then you ave the beach,the see just aside...

We came from italy and fell in love eith this magic place.

Staff so nice,caddy masters and reception staff were really perfect...nice pro shop too...

Only good vibes!!!

If you're looking for the opposite of Kapalua course, this is it. Beautifully manicured, wide fairways, gorgeous volcano rock and ocean views. Not many punishments for bad shots, but nice rewards for good shots.

The course is in a great location. Very nice views from most holes. The layout is player friendly. The staff was very friendly.

Played this course only once and it was exceptionally windy to what I’m use too. Great course layout with nice elevation changes. I’m an 8-10 handicap and it played true to that number. Got a great deal at Golfnow.

Most green are elevated so club selection critical. Also chip shots and pitches can not come up short as they will not bounce forward and may roll back down the slope. Overall fun and challenging especially for first timers and a 72 year old senior like me!

Mahalo

Being a novice golfer, everything there was great except the price of rental and balls. The views and course was well kept.
