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.

Need a golf Marshall

The only downside to this course was pace and no one monitoring. We had a group of teenage boys in front of us, wearing slides and just hacking the ball. If a Marshall would have been present it would have prevented this type of behavior from occurring. But the prove was super reasonable.

Great place to play except for really slow play…

I loved playing the course. We played twice - the first round we finished in just less than four hours, but the Saturday round took five hours. Maybe weekdays are best.

Interesting course

I played here first time, Staff here are very nice. Course is interesting. Maintenance can be a little better. I gave rating of 4 for course condition, but really it should be 3.5. Not bad choice If you like to play a reasonable priced golf course.

Diamond in the rough!

This place was a gem. Super challenging with elevation changes and wind was wild. Loved this course! You can’t beat the price for a course like this. Green are in perfect condition.

Nice course. Terrible cart guys

Every time I play here I’m shocked with the attitude from the cart guys that give you a cart. Huge egos, unfriendly, They like to let you know who’s in charge. Good value for the money besides the cart guys. They just need to be fired. Other staff is great.

Good value, pleasant high country course

This is a favorite track during our annual visits to Maui. The course is maintained better than many public courses. The layout uses the elevation changes to make it interesting, but still playable for high handicap players.

The staff is always exceptionally welcoming and friendly.

Pace of Play

4 hours and 45 minutes says it all. Tourists don’t have an entire day to play when u add in travel time. Despite the good value, choose any other course. I’ve played 5 courses now
