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.

Great Value

Very local-feeling course. Booked through GolfNow and played a round at 2:45pm which was priced at $35(!!). Rented clubs which was also only $30.

Something to keep in mind, carts need to be returned at 6:00pm so was only able to make it through ~13 holes. I knew that 18 would be tight with the sun setting at 6:35 or so but was hoping to get a few more in. A slow groups in front of us slowed the pace of play a bit also.

Overall the course was is good shape and the views were awesome. The sand was like dirt but for 35 bucks I’m not complaining.

Staff was nice and accommodating. Also, all of the golf apparel when i was was 40% off store wide so that was chill also.

Pukalani for best golf value in Maui

Love the course & friendly staff. Play can be slow if you get behind 4 guys playing for money. Pleased to see they allow couple to play by themselves if possible. Will drive from Kaanapali to play this course.

Surprise, surprise, surprise

We had no idea what to expect as the course name says “country club”. When we pulled into the parking lot the first view is an abandoned clubhouse. There is a trailer Clubhouse, restaurant at the far end of the parking lot. It gets the job done. The course was in great shape except for most of the tee boxes, they need some help. Fairways and greens were in really good condition. The greens were very true. The starter gave us a course guide book which came in very handy with description of greens and the course layout. They have good signs to help with getting from green to tee box. There were many great view spots as well so take a camera too.

Everything is Green

Greens are in far better shape than previous years -

One of my fav courses. Always need to be mindful of where the mountains and ocean are in relation to the greens. Tricky!

Fantastic Course

Do yourself a favour and play this course if you get a chance! While on a recent vacation, I enjoyed my 1st round so much I played a 2nd round.

As other reviewers have stated, the "clubhouse/proshop" is doublewide trailer and the golf carts have some milage but the conditions were fantastic (fairways and greens). The course meanders through up-country subdivision. The layout is fun and has some spectaclur views.

I found some on-line deal teetimes that provide exceptional value for the money.

Play it, you won't regret it.
