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.

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!!

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!
