Pukalani Country Club

I got the impression from the check in lady that golf now folks should not arrive early. My effort to find the course from a place I had never driven from got me a reprimand and a 30 minute cooling off penalty. To be fair they do not check any one in until 20 minutes before the tee time. My problem was that I did not know this and I was treated poorly by the person behind the desk. There is a hostility on the Islands to mainlanders and this May be the case at check in. Once we passed the gate keeper we were expedited to the first tee by excellent professional staff. The round was fun but always with a feeling of what did I do to deserve this treatment from check in. It is a good play, but wow don't arrive early.

Very nice staff. Course was recovering from aerification but, was still in good shape. Would play again when I return to Maui.

Best service on island
Good condition
Windy but playable

Over all had a great day very nice a challenging course well kept will return.

Nice layout. Great views. OB a little tight on some holes especially with the wind and trying to shape a shot. Greens in great shape and roll true. Grain really affects the putting. Played with my wife and a very women friendly course.

forgiving fairways, challenging greens on some holes, great value, friendly staff, great vues.

It was well worth the money and wonderful upcountry views. Highly recommend. Winds made it a challenge. Nice course and greens are in super shape....smooth and true.

Great course - great shape - great people - best value on Maui

Love everything about this place! Wish they would tear down the old clubhouse and build a new one! Wonderful location and temperatures are always cooler than the rest of the islands golf courses! A must play!

We thought the course was decent. The directions on getting to each hole however, is something that can be improved. Other than that, it was a good course and a good value.

The past few years has seen a major improvement in the greens going from one of the worst on the island to one that is par with the resort courses. Tee boxes and fairways consistently well maintained.

Pukalani is the working man's golf course on Maui. It's a good track. The slope of 117 from the white tees is a little low, I'd say, given the severe uphill slopes on half the holes (the other half are downhill). At 6300 yards plus it is a good challenge. Wide fairways but some tricky elevated greens. But all said, for $30 on Golfnow this was a fantastic deal.

What you see is what you get; a good golf course in a good condition. Nothing fancy with a trailerlike clubhouse and the starter in a big tent next to the parking lot. When we played this course, it was raining in Pukalani. We were told that once you tee off, no rain cheques are issued. And indeed, a guy came into the office saying he had only played two holes and was completely soaked: no mercy. It seems a bit harsh. We took our chances. After 4 wet holes it stopped raining and we had the entire course to our selves with a friendly marshall checking in on us every once in a while. We finished 18 holes in about 3 hours. A nice feature are the two greens you can choose from on the third; one way down alongside a canyon, one on the other side of that canyon. It was definitely worth the $55 we paid for it.

Best value, well maintained, fairways in great shape, professional staff. Though greens were being aerated, still afforded fun putting.

The pace of play wasn't bad on the front 9 where we played with a local who could let us know about break and slope of fairways but on the back the group of 5 ahead of us really slowed down so we had to wait more often then I would like. Overall this course is challenging and fun to play. Nice breeze as well.

We played at twilight rates and appreciate the friendly ranger encouraging a fast rate of play so more could complete the full 18 before it closed.

Good value with guaranteed Golfnow discount rate accepted without problem. Had to wait until 20 minutes before tee time before being allowed to check in at the club house. Plays through a residential area on a hillside so the holes are mostly either uphill or downhill. Would play again on next visit.

Enjoyed the course very much, but if you play in the wind that we did the challenge is great.

We played Pukalani on windy days, rainy days and beatiful days. The golf course is moderately challenging, well kept, some ocean views but best of all is the friendliness of the staff.

My husband and I have been to Maui several times and decided to play this course for the first time. The course is in up-country Maui, sits at the base of Haleakala at 1100 feet elevation, and has beautiful views of the mountains, the valley below, and the ocean. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, the pro shop is nothing to write home about. Take a "Sky Caddie" or whatever golf GPS device you use.

The course is in a beautiful setting, is moderately challenging, has a lot of elevation changes, is woman friendly. The negative is that the course itself is very non-descript; it's a long heavily played muni course that winds through a tired looking housing development. The condition of the course is ok. There are several water stations on the course but we did not see a beverage cart.

This course is not worth paying full price to play. The dollar amount we payed on Golfnow was good for Maui but it's not worth paying more than that.
