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.

fun and pretty course

This was a fun course, except the first day very hard to figure out how to get to next hole, and there are speed bumps going up a path where you must step on accerator to get up path but there is a speed bump right at top very odd.LOL

also keep in mind if you call the course during week and certain times of day its only 39.00 but tee off charged $65.00 kind of a rip off on tee off site.

but all in all its a very fun course and pretty, kind of like ponderosa with pine trees but has palm trees mixed in, see pics

we had a very very fun time.

Tough conditions

Course was real dry because of lack of rain. The course is mostly up and down with trade winds at last 30 my les per hour. Made it real tough. The course I s actually quite fun. Would be nice to play on a calm day.

Very good course to play

Where can you get a good deal to play golf in Maui? We are nonresidents and it cost an arm and leg to play golf in Lahaina and South Kihei.

Pukalani is very reasonable and fit our budget. We will play here again. The staff are very nice and friendly to talk too. It is a gem find!

Best golf value and views on Maui!

Nice little cafe with great food. Small “temporary” Pro Shop with great prices on their shirts, etc …. Great staff!

Course is a well maintained municipal course with old gasoline carts that need replacing BUT this course has a interesting layout, good greens and amazing bi-costal views of Maui at a reasonable price!!!

Whenever I’m on Maui I ALWAYS play Pukalani!!!

The course is called a country club ? Is this some kind of a joke. Directions to the next hole were very poor .. sprinklers with hoses in the middle of the fairway. A lot of debris on the greens . Price was right, but I would rather spend a little more for better maintained course .

Rough Golf

The experience was pretty rough all around. The golf cart was on it's last legs and had to be coaxed to start each time. There was a wait at each tee box. We got to know the people in front and behind us. The course was not in tip top condition. Rental clubs were in sad shape. They'd been used hard and long for $50 rental fee.

Fantastic value and a great scenic round of golf.

If you are looking for a value round of golf while on Maui take the drive 'upcountry' to Pukalani Country Club. Don't let the club's name fool you, this is a locals course through a regular neighborhood. Forget the mental images of caddy's and car pick up etc etc, this ain't that kind of country club. This IS a great local course through awesome countryside that is a fairly easy/medium difficulty course. It was a fun round even for 2 first time players. The only negatie I will give it is that we were constantly being pushed by other groups to speed up play, being that we had 2 newbies we let several groups play through with zero trouble.

Course needs a lot of TLC

Fairways and greens were decent, but the place really needs upgrades, to carts, clubhouse, cart paths, and bathrooms. The port a potty on the driving range is a bad look!!
