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.

Pukalani

I love the course and the setting

However, the course is not in good shape— and the carts are very old.

The price is reflective of the condition

Always a good time.

This course is always on our list. It is a good value, and the greens are in fine shape. Views are great. Fairways and rough are a little “rough” but it is very playable.

Beautiful views from upcountry

The fairways and greens were in much better shape than a few years ago. The only complaint I had was our car felt like it was going to die at any moment. All in all a good round…except for MY golf!

Played again

I like the course when I played in the afternoon so I played again the following morning. Again, the staff was friendly. Course has a great layout that anyone can enjoy from the right tee. You can it 300+ drives on a few down hill fairways. If the greens were not so slow, could have had multiple birdies. Cooler in the morning, but afternoon was also nice and cool when I played.

Great course for the price

First time playing the course. Great layout with a lot of ups and downs but fairly forgiving fairways. Bargain price for Maui for an afternoon tee time. Very nice staff.

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.
