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.

First timer at Pukalani

The course was wonderful, a little bit of a municipal feel and we liked that.

Nice track

Nice course. Good value, and great staff. Traps were a little bare, luckily I wasn't in them much. The carts were old and rough on the back.

2nd time around even better

Some great views, beautiful day, nice breeze, and playing all by my lonesome. White tee boxes run 6400 yards, blues 6800. Many holes distinguished by tall pines on each side. Green side bunkers had little sand, so this shot required digging in to make a good shot. Fairways were beautiful and the greens are large. I just love the course and finished the round off with a great burger. For its cost, I prefer Pukalani over all the other courses on Maui. I chose a weekday to play this second time and it wasn’t busy. I will definitely return and play here again!

MOST RIDICULOUS LAYOUT EVER

Course is very run down starting with the carts, also asked about a cooler. Was told that a "bag" of ice was 2 bux? Really not only do you have to pay for frozen water they give it to you a plastic bag, not exactly easy to keep your drinks in. No beverage cart and the so called cart paths are sparsely paved and mostly rough dirt roads. A totally goofy layout with poorly marked directions to each hole. The fairways are very thin, the only thing decent were the greens. All in all a dog track!! Spend a little more and go to Maui Nui, the greens are not as good but far superior in all other aspects.

Love Pukalani

Just a gem of a course carved in between tall pines and a few very colorful jacarandas. Large greens and plenty of wildlife to keep you amused. It is a course unlike the resort courses in the area and for the price, it is one of my favorite places to play here on Maui.

The greens are set a little slow and for me, hard to read. What appeared to be downhill was flat or even uphill! The biggest negative may be the bunkers as they have little sand.

Beautiful views. It was windy for my round and it made the 6400 yard white tees play all that and more. The rating from the white tees is only 117 but there are plenty of places to get into trouble. Unless you are expecting pristine conditions like Wailea, you will find this course a fun and wonderful adventure.

Local Golf Experience

Pukalani golf course is located upcountry and as such the terrain is sloped, rolling and uphill.T he course is very well maintained and they have work hard on the greens over the past couple of years and are as good as we have seen them. When you play here you will play a local course frequented by residents. It is a hidden gem. It plays long ...almost 5600 from the forward tees. Cart are noisy and older but they do the job! Thx Pukalani for sharing your course with us and allowing island visitors to experience playing a real local golf course ...we will be back in 2023 Mahalo!

A mountain side course in Maui.

The course layout was nice. The condition of the fairways and greens were good. The sand traps were a bit firm, tough to get a decent shot out of. The views of Maui were excellent, a perspective you do not get from the ocean side courses. My only real complaint would be the condition of the driving range, it was in rough shape. I would have preferred mats since the grass hitting area was in such poor condition. Overall I had an enjoyable day and I would recommend it to friends and play the course again in the future.

Nice little Course

I really enjoyed playing this course. To me it was a little hidden jewel that had some areas for challenging shots. The pace of play good given starting my round at 12:15. Fairways and greens were in very good shape.
