Ka'anapali Kai

The views are spectacular the courses of challenge. The people that worked there are very friendly and very helpful. I’d play here again.

The golf course sucks. It’s short, the greens were extremely slow and grainy. Extremely overpriced for conditions. Course offers zero alcohol, the course has one bathroom. The tee boxes are not flat. Brown dead spots all over. Save ur cash

I had a good time on this course because it’s a little bit shorter and more reasonable for a high handicap player. The staff was very nice and handled everything very quickly. Golf carts were top notch with good GPS tracking. The only criticism I have is that the greens are very bumpy. There are a lot of weeds on the greens that make it very impossible to make any putt over 15 feet. Other than that, it was great.

The Kai course is simply not worth the price of admission. Nearly every green was sanded, yet no one on staff made us aware of it, nor were any discounts offered. There is no food at the turn, and you will be lucky if you see the cart girl more than once — so beware. Pack your own lunch and drinks. Or better yet, avoid the Kaanapali courses altogether and head down to Wailea Emerald or Gold (Blue not recommended) or up to Kapalua. Yes those courses are expensive, but you will get what you pay for.

The Kai course reminded me a lot of the Alabama RTJ trail - it’s a very open course with drastic elevation changes. Found an online rate discount of $83 for a 6:30 tee time, and it was fantastic. The course was in great shape, and there were a few holes with amazing views. Opted to play Kai over Royal due to price, and it was worth it. The Kai course gets a 10/10 from me

First time playing here. Staff were friendly. Rental clubs were a little old and dirty. Carts were comfy with GPS. Felt course was a little over priced as greens had obviously recently been aerated and sanded. Overall course in good condition and pace of play was great. 3 of us played in over 3 hours. Was a little strange when on no 6 a Marshall came up to us and said we could drive on fairway - which we had been doing. He then said the person behind had said we were holding them up - they had never had to wait for us !! We were also 30 mins ahead of schedule according to the GPS! We let them through when they eventually caught us at no 9

Overall a fun round and would play here again

The course was in excellent conditions. Amazing layout with a few difficult holes but for the most extremely fair if the right shots were executed. Highly recommend!

No beer, alcohol on cart. No 9th hole service. They keep claiming they are going to get drinks on the cart but it’s been years no service. If your paying resort rates you should get full service.

Golf in Hawai’i is always a treat. Being super-critical, however, the “Kai” course is not as nice as Wailea Emerald or Gold, but on a par with the Wailea Blue course. Kai is less expensive than any of the Wailea courses but I do feel that, as with all the Maui courses, the green fees are unreasonably expensive. The locals/residents pay far less which I understand to a point. But I do feel that they try to extract as much as they can from we tourists. The golf club rental fees are also unreasonably excessive as they know what it costs for us to bring our own clubs on the flights to and from Maui. Other than this, the Kai course is nice: generally good conditions, some challenging holes, nice layout , and some outstanding ocean views. If money is no object, then play the Wailea or Kapalua courses. Otherwise, either Kaanapali course is a good choice IMO.

This course was a challenge. Pace of play was fast and we appreciated that. Unfortunately NO beer on course with the beverage cart.
