Pukalani Country Club has a unique location at the 1,100-foot elevation of the famous Mount Haleakala, an extinct volcano whose name means “House of the Rising Sun.” The dramatic elevation offers breathtaking views that span the West Maui Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. The golf course features wide, undulating fairways and fast, sloped greens. The gently rolling terrain can cause some tricky uneven lies. There are trees and well placed bunkers scattered throughout to provide further challenge. Pukalani Country Club has a unique feature on the par-3 third hole. The hole gives golfers the options of hitting to one of two very different greens, one which requires a tee shot over a tree-filled gully and another that requires a shot beyond a cliff to a pal tree-lined green.

Course is in a beautiful area but the staff ruins the experience.

You can't go wrong playing ANY course in Maui, the scenery is beautiful and so is the weather. We picked this course because of the price but every employee we encountered and talked to was rude, flippant, and could care less about helping us with anything. It was a total let down from what we thought would be one of the best experiences of our vacation to Maui.

Granted this was our only time playing this course so maybe it was an off day but when every employee is rude, I chalk it up to poor management.

Nice course but very rude employees!

EVERYONE WAS VERY RUDE! From the initial person we paid to the cart person, each employee could've cared less about answering questions, or would have something rude to say. They hurried us through our game by out right saying "we're busy today so let's get a move on it," and they had employees ride along the side so we knew they were waiting for us to get done.

It might be the least expensive place to play on Maui but be prepared for their rudeness.

Luckily the people they assigned us to play with were truly kind and patient people who made the game worthwhile.

A very good course with some of the best views of Maui you can have. The only retraction for me is a very bumpy ride in the cart throughout the course. Needs more care in both the cart paths and much of the fairways but other than that this course delivers a fun challenge at an affordable price.

GREAT VALUE

Very good condition for a course at this price point !!! Chiping and putting greens good, driving range adequate. With Plantation at Kapalua in the $400 + with below average condition, I felt like the Pukalani roung was a lovely gift. I will be back 😎💯⛳❤️

Inexpensive, but comes at a cost

I called ahead to be sure they had youth rental clubs and they assured me they did. Once I arrived they said they do not have youth club rentals but managed to find a bag with two really tall 9 irons, one 7 iron, one 6 iron, and a tiny wedge putter - no woods. My 8 year old was able to use 3 of the clubs to play the entire course. We drove more than an hour to golf at Pukalani as they were one of two courses that accepted the Youth on Course membership and this was a pretty big deal and greatly impacted our enjoyment of the day. We started at 3:30pm and a little before 6pm the flags started disappearing. We were not told a time we needed to be back at the clubhouse so we were surprised the flags were missing. The group in front of us doubled back to tell us they were told they could only play to hole 12 and then needed to head to the clubhouse. My son and I (with his three rental clubs) had to wait at numerous holes for the group(s) in front of us which was no big deal and happens when you're only a group of two, but it became a bummer once told by fellow golfers we could not finish our round. We doubled back after finishing hole 11 and then waited in a line of golfers at the 18th hole as the multiple groups told they needed to end their rounds early tried to play the final hole. If we are supposed to be back early we should have been told ahead of time and asked to only play 9. After driving an hour to play the course and then learning they did not have youth clubs as promised, it was quite disappointing to not even be allowed to finish the course. I paid full price, maybe this is why the course is less expensive, because they do not intend to allow you to finish.

Gem of the island

We arrived at the course and were blown away by the stunning views of the volcano across the valley. The course layout was challenging and fun to play. As always, there were chickens and roosters guarding the greens.

The greens play fast, the winds affected our tee shots and putts. We experienced no par holes, and bogeyed

Every hole. But fun.

The staff was outstanding making us feel like members even thought it was our first time.

Pukalani is a great place to play golf on Maui. You will not only save money here, but enjoy the views on every hole.

Go to course!

My new go to, fun to play and a good test. Heads up if u want to hit balls b4, dispenser only takes dollars. Played it three times in last month and really enjoyed the on course feel. Good conditions overall. Some tees were worn and a few bunkers need more sand or at least a raking to prepare for play. Will be back!

nice course worth the drive up to pukulani

this course was in great condition, particularly the greens. ( possibly helped by the higher rainfall in the area.)

the staff were friendly and welcoming. the gas golf cars were in good clean condition although took a little getting used to compared to electric ones.

we always play this course several times when on maui as we feel more like members than tourists here.
