Royal Ka'anapali

The course has great views and the course was in great shape. The greens were running very fast and course was in excellent shape. The afternoon winds make the course very hard to make good shots. The price to play is a little high. Next time I would play the bay course at Kapalua it's better for your dollar.

would definitely play again, need local knowledge of the greens

Course was in good shape and was fun to play but... I'd play The Dunes twice and have dinner or spend the extra money for Kapalua before returning to Kanapali. Cigars were overpriced, sold me a $3 bic lighter... just not a value play.

We played three rounds at Royal Kaanapali during our one week stay in Maui. I recommend this course for a variety of reasons including condition, history, playability and incredible scenery. I'm 55 with a 8.0 handicap. Playing the white tees made the most sense as it afforded me an opportunity to reach longer par 4's in regulation. I spent some time in bunkers, but they are exceptionally maintained. The entire course was well groomed. Beverage service was timely and friendly. I want to go back to Maui, and I especially look forward to a return trip to Royal Kaanapali

Put this course anywhere but Hawaii and its half the price. Over $200 and you need to pay extra for range balls and hit off mats, really...
Course was OK, typical resort course layout. Generous fairways, only the undulations and grain on the greens and wind protect par. Friendly staff.
We had fun.

Course was in excellent condition. Greens ran perfect. Entire staff was great. Very friendly and helpful. I would definately play here again. The entire experience was perfect.

We had to keep carts on the paths due to heavy rain on Dec 23 and 24 so played even longer and slower...but we had fun just the same

Best greens west of Wailea. Like putting on carpet!

We played Ka'anapali Royal and were not very impressed. Driving range was mediocre at best, hitting off mats, range balls must have been years old. Staff was nice and helpful. Course is routed through subdivision, so scenery compromised. We played Wailea Gold today and it was worth every penny. Highly recommend!

I played the Royal Kaanapali Course. I came on as a single and was partnered with 2 guys from Kansas City who were very nice. Overall the course was fun to play, it wasn't so hard that it wasn't fun. The staff was polite and helpful. The course was in decent shape, but I don't think it's necessarily worth the greens fees they charge. Of course everything is more expensive in Hawaii. The set of Nike rental clubs was good also. I just played the Plantation Course in Kapalua for roughly the same price. I booked a twilight tee time (1:20pm). I got there early and went out an hour early. They rent you Titleist AP1s/913 D2 Driver/Scotty Cameron putter. The greens are sick though and it's a challenging course. The Staff there was above and beyond friendly. So in my opinion the Royal Kaanapali is a good, fun course, but if you can only play one course in Maui, play the Plantation Course

We were prepared to play a 4 to 5 hour round like
we have encountered at many resort courses
and were surprised at how fast the speed of play
was. We were able to finish a round in just under
4 hours.
The staff in all of their departments were friendly
and efficient, We would highly recommend this
course to our friends and visitors alike.

We were on a short vacation to Maui and I had the chance to play here twice. The course is fair and has large undulating greens which are the biggest challenge. The signature 5th hole is long and plays into the wind and towards the ocean (and passing tourists who are only a few yards away). Water only comes into play on the 1st and last two holes. Finishing hole is a tough one with water protecting the green on the front and right side. The staff was very nice and since I played early, the round was at a fast pace. I would recommend playing early as the winds pick up in the pm.

This course is beautiful. The ocean is in the background in most of all of the back 9. The winds are so strong!! They are really the most challenging thing about the course! People were friendly, carts were nice with the GPS. Rented clubs there on site and that was easy. Overall great experience.

First time golfing this course. The greens were so different (very nice). My son had a great eagle shot on the sixth hole... Under the branches, over the bunker, down the slope and in the hole! Great greens, great views, great game, beautiful weather and wonderful staff. Booked through GolfNow. Thank you!!!

The course is designed to be played in the prevailing strong trade winds. Generous fairways allow drives to be carried by the winds without severe penalty. Expect many sand shots if your approaches are blown off-line. The par threes are especially challenging: three are mid-length uphill and the fourth is over water. The course has great views of the ocean and mountains. Overall it is very enjoyable.

It's a great coarse just don't expect any special treatment !!!

The staff are very friendly. The course is very well maintained. Using GolfNow knocked a few bucks off, which is always welcome. Would recommend.

WONDERFUL day of golf. Course in great shape. Pace of play a little slow, but the course and views make up for the few wait times.

Although the greens fees were high it was well worthwhile to play. The course was in great shape and the wind held up so that it was not unbearable as we had heard. The views were magnificent of the Pacific Ocean. The course was hilly and the greens were undulating but fair.

Definitely worth playing if you can afford it.

We played in the afternoon and finished well before dusk. The course was in good condition, greens were a little shaggy but rolled well. Traps were also in good condition, but some players were not good about raking - really my only complaint.
