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.

Little over priced.

The course is pretty basic, everything is right in front of you. Hillside design, up n down. There are a couple of great views. The tee boxes need to be levelled. There is no club house, just trailers. There’s no beverage cart or halfway house. No rules either!! Staff was nice tho.

Worth the money.

Great course. Tough, lots of uphill holes and approaches. Use extra club.

Bad experience in an otherwise good round

We were playing a “twilight” round and where on hood pace to finish 18 before dark. Then groups started jumping in front of us. They said the Marshall told them to jump ahead to 18 so they could finish before dark. That may have allowed them to finish but they had already pulled the pin by the time we reached the 18th green.

Pleasant experience on a very windy day. Not crowded afternoon and good value. Suggest you play early due to less wind on most days.

Good location

We rented 2 set’s of clubs, I can understand no balls provided, but tees and ball markers? Come on man! And a club head brush would be a nice touch! Ya think🤔, sand bunkers could use some fresh sand! COME ON MAN 👨
