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.

One of My All-Time Favorite Courses

Despite some of the greens being recently plugged and one having a temporary while getting rebuilt, this is one of my favorite courses due to the lay-out, beauty, and very friendly staff. Definitely the best course on Maui.

Pukalani

Overall the course is easy. The fairways or better yet the rough had a lot of dead mowed grass. Your ball would get lost if you missed the fairway. The greens were running really slow

Great public course on Maui!

We found this great public course a few years ago and try to play it every time we come to Maui. It's upcountry so is usually a little cooler than lower elevations. The course is quite long and challenging, but has nice wide fairways for any level of golfer. They also have great deals on Thursdays!

The up country setting is beautiful.

Enjoyed every bend of the fairways. The doglegs were a challenge as were all of the par threes. Well groomed and arborist articulation in the care of the multitude of trees lining the course.

Greens were tricky, but readable.

Splendid 18 holes with local golfers who enjoy it here often.

Good condition given rain but pace of play poor!

Course allows some 5-some groups and then refuses to monitor and urge them to keep a reasonable pace!! Very frustrating!!

Golf at Altitude is Cool in Hawaii

This is a popular golf location in Central Maui for the locals.

The altitude is 1200 feet above sea level and that means it's cooler and greener here.

The pace of play is less than four hours.

The pro shop is friendly. Cassie from Lana'i was fun to talk to.

The course is in good condition, except for green 2 which is undergoing renovations.

This layout does not have a lot of hazards like water and sand.

There is a lake in play in front of #10 green. Bunkers surround several greens but they are of minimal effect. Most fairways are cut short and run evenly.

Overall, they have wide open fairways and smooth greens.

The prices are low for Kama'ainas and inexpensive for visitors when you use TeeOff.Com.

One of the best values, with great vistas in Maui golf and we've played them all.

Great Value

Course was in great shape, nice local course. The course staff were very friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately the pace of play was not ideal, got caught behind a couple of fivesomes, but otherwise this a great value for the dollar for golf in Maui. I would recommend it, nice change from being held hostage and being stuck up by the resort courses. Also, really enjoyed meeting some very friendly local patrons.

Great course

Great course to golf. Especially for the money. Fairways were good. Greens were good. One temp green which kinda sucked but overall will golf again.

The carts could be upgraded and a few of the golf paths were a little rough.

Great course in tip top shape!

My round at Pukalani was my most enjoyable in a long time. There was nobody in front of me or behind me so I was able to play two balls. (My yellow ball won by one stroke.) The layout was fine, and the choice of holes on #3 is truly unique. I chose over the canyon and one landed on the green and one was just off it.

I had played the course once on my last trip to Maui five years ago and was eager to go back. Try it out.
