Ka'anapali Kai

We chose to play the Kai course simply because it was cheaper and easier of the 2 courses at Kaanapali. At least they said it was easier! NOT. Lots of very deep bunkers here but, the scenery was awesome.

Played this course on a Saturday and teed off at 7:20 and finished in 3 hours.

The course was in great condition.

The tee boxes are fairly level and had lots of grass.

The fairways are easily identifiable and make visualizing a shot easier.

The bunkers lacked a little sand and were heavy but played fair.

The greens were in great condition. They rolled at about a 9 on the stimpmeter and everyone seemed to fix their pitch marks.

Great experience, the most beautiful course I’ve ever played on. Would recommend to anyone on the island!

Overall it’s a nice course because of the view and the challenge. That being said, it was 80 degrees and they did not have beverage service on the course (or at least the cart never came to my group). I called the clubhouse twice to figure out if they were coming, but went to voicemail twice after a number of rings. In addition, the grounds crew was still out for about the first 9 holes (I had a 7:34 tee time, so I understand the first couple holes) and the course was left with all of the leftover tufts of grass. The people at the shop and tending the bags were great, but the total package was lacking. If someone would have picked the course up, put it where I live (Pacific Northwest) as opposed to Maui and charged $50, I would have thought it was about right.

Course was a fun time. Golf carts offer good technology in terms of lining up distances and things like that. This course does have the feeling of playing in the backyards of the people living near the fairways. The holes also felt sort of same-y, especially the beginning of the back 9. Course is a little higher up so the views of the water are quite nice.

The course was in so so shape. The sand traps were all in very poor shape and were being made over it appeared. No one warned us to f that

Overall we enjoyed the round but the 4 of us were dehydrated by the end. There are no water facilities provided at the club house or on the course. We saw the facilities cart once during the round and had to share two $5 bottles of water as there wasn't any more for sale. This isn't satisfactory for a golf course in Maui's climate.

Beautiful views. Fun course. Play was a little slow but it gave us time to enjoy the views.

Pro shop staff friendly.

Starters very friendly and helpfull

Tee boxes in good shape

Fairways were great

Greens were very smooth, consistent not overly fast, plenty of slope and grain.

Green side bunkers were pretty well maintained and quite consistent and playable- good thing because there’s a bunch of them and with strong winds playing with my golf ball, I hit a bunch of them

The front nine especially has gorgeous ocean views.

Pace of play wasn’t terrible but our fore some consistently were waiting on a twosome ahead of us who were painfully slow and I didn’t see anyone else slowing them down

Second time playing this course. Fairly recent since punching the greens so they were rough. Also the sand traps had been watered and were near,ly unplayable. Rest of course was fine

Had a great time! Nice Ocean views
