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.

Local Course

Staff was very nice and helpful. Clubhouse is very small but fits in with local style. Cafe/bar again was small but the sandwich I had was really good and the price of beer was very reasonable.

Great value... with caveats

Fantastic course 20 minutes from airport in Maui, the check in guy was SUPER friendly (great to see this welcoming Maui visitors), the starters managing the carts...not so and seemed annoyed when we asked them about time to tee off. The course is in pristine condition which awesome for the price in Maui. The greens are slow. Probably the biggest complaint is that it is a track that just goes back and forth without a lot of variations although there are 2-3 holes with excellent ocean view. Probably will play again due to good value.

Great time! The people who work here show Ho'okipa

First time to Maui and booked this trip a day before landing, so there wasn't much time to plan out a tee-time. Went to Golfnow and found a great price for Pukalani and decided to just try it out. I was pleasantly surprised. The rental clubs were not in the best condition, the wind was crazy and if you're looking for a country club clubhouse - this isn't for you. But I was able to get out and had a great time on this beautifully maintained course. This course is much better for the price than what I am used to in San Diego. And the staff was AMAZING. Seriously some of the nicest people you could hope to have working at a golf course. Loved it - I'll play here again for sure.

Breezy Round

We enjoyed our golf at Pukalani Golf Course on Monday April 10/23 . A beautiful course lined with tall pines trees on virtually every hole. Lots of variations and elevation changes. The Trade winds made it for a challenging round but much enjoyed non the less . The ‘Club House’ has much to be desired but the staff and food and service was very good . Very affordable golf in Maui .

Thank you

Jerry and Susan.

Upcountry gem

Great course if you get tired of the resort course country club hype. Course can play a bit narrow and long but it is very playable at different levels and the newer greens are in great shape. We like to play golf and always make a point of playing Pukalani several times throughout our month long stays. It is vistor friendly and the price point is fair albeit higher then in the past. Still good value given layout and condition and the location ... you cannot beat the scenery if you take the time to look! The vistas are stunning.Thx for the good times...see you again next year!

Great value

Sought something different for my annual Maui visit after my previous favorite neglected their greens and grounds maintenance in favor of off course amenities.

Pukulani Country Club exceeded my expectations. As other reviewers noted, the greens and fairways are in excellent condition. Tee boxes a a bit shaggy but certainly playable.

The track provides something for golfers of all abilities, with wide fairways, and enough dodlegs and elevation changes to make more proficient players think.

I will go back for more during this stay on Maui.
