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.

Slow. Slow. Slow.

Played an afternoon round, took 4 hours and only was able to play 12 holes. At 5:30 the Rangers came out and made you return your carts, even though there was an hour of daylight left. Pace of play was brutal, pretty disappointed in the premature closing. However , the fairways and greens are in nice shape despite the clubhouse/restaurant being a trailer.

First Time Playing

3 Hours for 9 Holes.

When I first pulled up and saw the old clubhouse, boarded up, and a mobile trailer for the new pro shop, I got a little nervous. You can’t check in more than 20 minutes before your tee time (weird). A bucket of balls is $3. The staff is very friendly.

Good:

Value - Paid next to nothing using the TeeOff app

Conditions- fairway and greens are in great shape

Bad:

Pace of play- we played 11 holes in 3.5hrs

The Rangers come out at 5:15 and wrangle everyone off the course, as they want the carts back by 5:30. We were ushered off of a tee box at 5:25. I’ve never had that happen before. There was an hour of daylight left, it was unreasonable.

Great day at Pukalani, but sent home prematurely.

Enjoyed a really nice day playing Pukalani until a Ranger told us at 5:24 that we needed to end play to return the golf cart by 5:30. This seemed unreasonable and unfair, given that sundown was at 6:02PM without darkness approaching until 6:25PM. We should have been allowed to play 3 more holes, with no difference in outcome for the cart intake. This is not Customer focused, was unnecessary, and needs to be amended. Bad call from Management., or did the volunteer Ranger just want yo go home early for dinner?? He still gets his free golf either way. 👎🏼

Nice Value

Certainly not Kapalua but paid about $20 to play. Greens were fine, but fairways in rough shape.

Slow greens

Was told we had till 530 for carts to be back. Sunset is at 6. At 450 a guy comes and says this is your last hole I’m shutting down the course early. Can’t believe that’s even a thing

Good bang for the buck.

Not a bad track for Maui. Better then paying a fortune when you want to play multiple times.

Great course with a nice local vibe.

A nice hidden gem just off the beaten path. Basic ameneties, older carts, trailer for a clubhouse but welcoming staff, a great little restaurant and a fantastic course. Great layout and course was in terrific conditions. Greens were very nice. Some holes have nice views of the water and countryside.

Nice views

Course was in decent shape. Pace of play was strange as it was a hurry up and wait situation . Varied numbers of people in the groups. We had a single in front of us and they had a five some ahead of them. We also had a five some behind us. After 9 holes, we had a man who tried to cut in front of us and he was ver rude. Not sure where he and his pals came from but the marshalling needs to be improved.

Great view and great golf

We played this course for the second time and had a really good experience. This course does not have a lot of holes that are undulated, but you are often hitting downhill or uphill. Greens are wide and fairly flat without significant undulations , except for a couple of holes we got a good Hot deal and hope to play again someday. You must play with a cart walking. This course would be a really tough workout because of distances and elevation up-and-down. In fact, I don’t think they allow people to walk the course.

Fun course, good value

Fun course on slope of Haleakala. Can be dry but they just had rain when we played and it was nice and green. Best thing in my opinion is the restaurant in the trailer there. Really excellent the few times I've been there. Kudos!

Staff was excellent course is wide and player friendly carts are a little on the old side I had one that backfired a lot but it kept everybody on their toes TeeOff didn’t get my reservation included but I showed the staff my receipt and they said they would take care of it and I got out a little earlier that I thought I would so overall a really great experience.
