Ka'anapali Kai

This is the sister course of Royal Kaanapali. It is a little less interesting than Royal, but the greens are more interesting. They do have tees boxes at 5500 yards, so it gave me better option as a female rather than the shorter tees.
We enjoyed the day.

Very pleasant experience. As a single, they combined me with another couple at a much earlier time even though I paid twilight rates. Efficient staff. Pace of play was excellent - our 3-some finished in @ 3.5 hours, even with a 4-some I front of us.

Easy to keep ball in play but difficult around greens.

inside staff not so friendly. outside staff great, especially Jack.

Course was fun to play, placing your tee shot was paramount, would have been nice to know when I booked this course that that had aerated the greens, but they rolled pretty good.

I played both coarses and I liked the Kai because it seemed a little more forgiving. The staff was fantastic. They saw me walking from a nearby hotel and came with a cart to get me.

Kaanapali Kai is always a favorite course to play when I am on Maui. The course and greens are in great condition, and the staff is extremely friendly. I love this course!

Beyond the gorgeous views, this course was a pleasure to play. Enough challenge with water and sand, yet friendly to the less skilled of us. Overall experience was awesome, we hope to get back to play again.

Pretty wide-open course, but the winds can put a damper on your game if you're not used to it. Course was in great shape, but the greens seemed to be a little long which rolled really slow. They probably would've rolled better if I showed up on a day they had just been mowed. I'm not sure if I would play this course again and pay the regular rate. I would say 75% of your green fee goes towards the scenery. The scenery on many of the holes was great. The staff there was nice. If you get a good deal, I would recommend this course.

the greens were quick but true and in perfect shape. the fairways were very nice. the homes bordering the course were very high end and had great landscaping. ocean views on almost every hole. quiet and not very busy. good sand in bunkers. friendly and attentive cart girl.

I played this course a few years ago and it was dry and brown. It is in much better shape now (June 2013). It's beautiful and a joy to play!

The staff is very helpful and the views are some of the best on the island. Thank you Golf Now for a great day on the links.

Golf course was really nice. Only issue was a local group of players that wouldn't let us play through.

Pace of play on a Wednesday was ideal. It was my first course I played on my trip and being that it was fairly forgiving it was the perfect way to warm up for harder more pricey courses to come in the week.

The Kai course needs attention. sandtraps are in need of sand.It also needs washrooms. only has 1 set of Portolets on the course. It really doesn't feel like a resort course as you rarely see the refrreshment cart.

The course is way too expensive for what you get. The wind was rediculous on the day I played and there was a terrible sewer stench on several holes near the clubhouse.

Overall the course was challenging but the greens and wind were brutal and made it very challenging! The greens were so fast and I had a difficult time reading them. I received some conflicting advice from a pro article saying the greens did not always break towards the sea, but they did! I swear it looked uphill but the ball rolled right towards the ocean every time.
The wind can be very strong, I played in Feb during the trade winds. Sometimes the 5 iron was good for 200 plus or 140, crazy!
If you are a dead eye on the greens and don’t mind the wind you will do well, I struggled but hey, its golf in Maui!
Liked: Golf in Maui, layout, condition, staff, great bar, close to hotel.
Dislike: sand bunkers, sand bunkers, glass like greens

Had to keep carts on paths because of wet conditions. This always makes for a longer and more challenging round.

only one place to get water , Way to maney people took forever.2/

Great deal for prime time. Great golf partners. Pricey club rentals but probably "par for the course". Wouldn't have gone without GolfNow.
