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 course to play.

81 year old golf and played the gold tees.

Course plays longer than the yardage. Lots of elevation changes.

Fun greens.

We love this course

Our only complaint and it’s not with the course.

Was that we booked t times on t time .com realized we made a mistake amd booked the following week which we will fly home before then. We went online to change it and they wouldn’t honor the change and charged us the full price we paid. So much for cheap golf. We love Pukalani

Fun course

Fun course and friendly and accommodating staff! Spectacular views on backside, and love the birds, ducks chickens and roosters! Very cool.

Greens were challenging. Certainly some ground under repair areas. But pretty well maintained, especially given the challenges of staffing and covid. It ain't Augusta, but it doesn't pretend to be. I paid $35 on a golf now hot deal. Seriously...what would I possibly have to complain about?

Everything noka oi!

Poorly Managed

We had to wait 20 minutes past our tee time to get a cart. They have you wait on the hot black parking lot because they do not have enough carts. They shut down the whole course at 5:30 PM so wouldn’t recommend getting a later tee time. The man at reception was kind of rude. Once you get out, it’s a nice course for the value but definitely not worth it overall for the low price.

Pleasant surprise

Was visiting Maui and found this KILLER deal at this course, never played it before but for the price is was hoping it wasn’t a dog track. The clubhouse is outdated as the dining but that is its charm. Lots of locals eating there sooo. The course layout was so fun and the conditions unbelievable; kudos to the greens keeper, I just played a private course the day before and these greens was far superior than a $165 course!!!!!! Please play this course! Oh and the carts are so out dated they are gas but the go cart feel was fun to drive.

The only issue at this course were the carts. Probably need to update the fleet soon! Other than that it was awesome!

This is your GO TO golf course in central Maui

What a beautiful course! Our group of three golfers of modest ability were elated to play this course. Nine holes between 2:30 and 5PM, on a gorgeous sunny day in late November. The vistas were gorgeous, the course maintenance wonderful, and the elevation provided welcome cooling breezes in this up-country location.

Afterwards, a delicious dinner and drinks at the little clubhouse restaurant were accompanied by a Hawai'ian sunset.

First Time and LOVED it!

My group of three senior players were VERY impressed with this course! Everything about it was just right for a great Hawaiian golf experience. We chose the earliest afternoon discounted tee time, had plenty of time to play our nine holes before sunset, and then enjoyed a delicious meal at the little clubhouse restaurant, as the breeze blew gently and the sun set gloriously.

WE'LL BE BACK!

It's a beautiful course with some pleasing distant views. There is something for everyone. Some holes are easy and some are difficult. Fairways can be a bit thin in places and greens can be inconsistent in the rolling speeds . However, a wonderful value for the dollar.
