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.

Awesome round with my wife who plays every couple years. Laid back and challenging. The course is above average for being manicured. The price was spectacular! We joined up with a local couple and had great conversations.

Would love to play here weekly.

A friendly scenic hold course

We really enjoyed our round of golf a Pukalani. The course was in very good condition and the green fees were very reasonable considering the quality of the course. The scenery was stunning. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will certainly play this course again on our next trip to Maui - perhaps more than once. We highly recommend it to anyone holing in Maui.

Return trip

This was our second round at The Dunes on our current visit to Maui and we enjoyed it even more the second time around. The course is in beautiful condition and is challenging without being punishing. The scenery is stunning on every hole and the green fees are very reasonable for the quality of the course. We will be back to play again on a future visit and would highly recommend it to anyone else.

Pukalani Gem

Another great day of golf at Pukalani. Beautiful, well-maintained course that is a pleasure to play.

The only criticism is the pace. Our 4-some began right on time at 1:16 PM but were unable to complete the last hole due to the VERY slow pace of golfers ahead of us. 4 hours should be a normal pace, but we got kicked off after 17 due to the time (6:00 PM) and darkness. A course range would be helpful to keep the pace of golfers moving at a reasonable rate. Hope to play here again soon!

The course once again was in good shape and played as intended. Definitely experienced the grain in the greens causing some issues. Overall a pleasant round on a reasonable course.

Great value for money.

This was a really fun round of golf. Beautiful views from almost every hole. The holes were challenging without being punishing and fairways were generously wide. Greens and fairways were in very good shape. We will definitely play this one again.

Pukalani keeps improving!

Pukalani continues to improve and deserves praise! One of the two best golf values on Maui, the course in in great shape! Sand traps are now soft, adequately deep, and well maintained – and that came at a significant cost to management! The next improvement is likely to be fixing the old Cart Paths & adding several where missing. The only complaint vs. other fine courses is that the greens are very slow, but good golfers know how to adjust to that!

High praises to Pukalani G.M, Ron – you’ve done an excellent job & deserve a raise! Maui Nui should take notes (or close down).

There is a quite a bit of maintenance needed, but was not expecting high quality for the price. Greens were in good shape and the staff was friendly

What a great secret tucked away in the upcountry!

Excellent course, clubs, cart and staff.

The only downside was a VERY, VERY slow 4-some 2 groups ahead of us that backed up the entire course for the last 9 holes. Golfers behind us were irate and used some very colorful language to describe this situation!

It would sure help to have a course ranger monitor progress so this doesn't happen again.

Regardless, I look forward to playing there again in the near future!

Slow play

Normally I don't care on the island about pace, but this time we did. They start pulling pins at 5:30. We teed off at 12:10. We barely finished. The starter was flustered and sent twosomes out alone, beginners holding up everything with no Marshall. Great course and value, but pace has always been a problem here. Book your time accordingly and be prepared to wait and enjoy a beverage or two.

Fun layout!

Fun layout with elevation changes. First time playing a 19 hole course. Good course, they pack the players in but that didn’t hold up play.

Fun laid back course

Enjoyed playing this simple but fun course.plays for long straight hitters with mot much trouble unless you get stuck behind some tree lined fairways. Greens rolled great and some quite stunning views. For the price its well worth the drive
