About
The Ka'anapali Resort on Maui is home to two championship golf courses, set on 1,200 acres of land home to ancient Hawaiian royalty. The Ka'anapali Kai course is an Arthur Jack Snyder design from 1976 that received an extensive renovation in 2005. The golf course is shorter and has a lower slope/rating compared to its sister Royal Ka'anapali course, but also plays narrower in most spots. Many holes are tucked into the West Maui Mountains The golf course is women-friendly with a forward set of "Hibiscus" tees at 4,522 yards, and also less expensive to resort guests and visitors compared to Royal Ka'anapali, which has played host to numerous professional events.

Golfer Reviews
Good Time!
Notwithstanding the lack of beverage services and accessible rest rooms on course I thoroughly enjoyed my 2nd outing this week on Kai. Outstanding service from the gentlemen before and after the round. Super friendly folks.
Nice island course
I always enjoy playing here. The course is well maintained and the pace of play was excellent. The staff is very friendly and helpful. A food cart comes around frequently if needed. The views of Maui are great.
Great course
Easy driving course, greens rolling well, all holes interesting. Remember putts break toward the ocean, even though at times it defies physics.
Very good day
Played at 10:45 and fortunately not a lot of wind.
Course was in very good condition and the pace of play was excellent. From what I played and looked at this was the best price I could find. The staff is very nice and look forward to playing again next time I can…
Kai was great
I really enjoyed Kai, a little tighter than the Royal but the greens and traps were in better shape. I played Royal the day before. No complaints but then I played better on the Kai
Maui golf
Fun course, layout very plain some interesting holes but was a nice simple course in great shape
Kai
Had the best day,played with Mike from motown ca.
Maui golf
Course in great condition greens a little slow had a lot of subtle breaks, as with most courses in Maui totally over priced but all in all a joy to play on vacation.
Very nice course
Since Kapalua had just areated their greens and the Royal course at Kaanapali was in the middle of being aerated we played here. The course was in very good condition, the greens were good, and the views were fantastic. The staff was very very nice and overall we had a great day!!!
Kaanapali Kai
Course was in great shape. Lucky it wasn’t busy despite Royal being closed for aeration.
Beautiful Course
For the Kai course, there’s some amazing views once you cross over the road. Bad part is, once you cross that road you’re on your own with anything other than water. They forgot to inform us the beer cart person went home sick. Ensure with the starter, or at check in, that the beer cart is actually operating. We hadn’t seen anyone on the first nine and you WONT cross over to the clubhouse until 16, unlike any course I’ve played.
Kai course
If you can catch a deal it’s a fun course. Just cross
your fingers that some vacationers didn’t have anything to do so they decided to to try that golf sport thingy for the afternoon, from the tips
