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.

reasonable priced

Very friendly staff. Because of very reasonable pricing course was very busy. Therefore pace of play was very slow. Hole #10 runs parallel to the driving range and is very dangerous as ball are landing all around you. Net needs to be restung properly. Overall very golfer friendly course.

Other than the cart paths the course was in good condition. Cart paths are pretty bad, but driving on fairway most of the time it was tolerable.

When in Maui stop here

We thought this was a beautiful course to play. Nothing fancy but fun challenging course. The staff was great. Met the manager Ron Huffman and he was great. Hope to get to Maui again.

Good value on Maui.

Only real issue is that there is NO sand in the bunkers.

Great course for the money

Overall a freak muni course. Greens are nice as are the fairways. My only complaint is the outdated and beat up golf carts. No springs, backfires constantly

Be thoughtful

We had a 2:50 tee time. I thought we could get done by dusk, even if it was a bit slow. After we paid and went to get our cart, we were told that we had to have the carts back in by 6pm. That would have been good information up front, before paying. I then thought that we could probably get in most of the holes. Unfortunately, it took us 3 hours to play the front nine. After the first hole we caught up to the group in front of us and the group behind us caught up to us. From hole one on there were three foursomes on each hole and at one time four foursomes. The course Marshall came by on the 4th hole and made no attempt to speed up play., after just driving by three groups on the same hole. We made the turn for at 5:50. Thought we might be able to play one more hole, but the group in front had not even reached the green. Didn't make any sense to try and play as we were going away from the clubhouse. Disappointing as it's a nice course and in good shape.. Seems to be a common problem as I talked to a couple of local golfers at a nearby eatery and they said it always seems to be slow.. If play is that slow either get a marshal/policy who will work at it or adjust tee times accordingly..

Another good experience

This is a real nice course. A little bit of a drive but nice scenery along the way. Not overly challenging which is fine for us. Sand traps are fairly firm so hitting out of them was difficult. Greens and fairways nice. They let a fivesome out which slowed things up. Would play again.
