About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 6554 yards
Slope 135
Rating 72.3

Kahili Golf Course is positioned on the slopes of the West Maui Mountains, offering picturesque views of the regal Haleakala and the Pacific Ocean.

The world-class layout is a popular stop for visiting and local, amateur and tournament golfers alike. The par-72, 6,554-yard course, constructed in 1991, was designed by Robin Nelson and Rodney Wright.

Elevation changes are the norm at Kahili, with par 3s on the back side laying up and downhill to small greens. A lake and a dry creek bed are in play on the front side, making accuracy a necessity. And the par 5s are short enough to give long hitters a chance at birdies and eagles.

Kahili features beautiful practice facilities with a driving range and putting and chipping greens. Golfers can relax after a round at Kahili Restaurant, which offers good food at value prices. Also, for golfers with larger party needs, the Nahele Banquet Room is the ideal location for weddings, reunions, business meetings and seminars.

Kahili Golf Course

This was my second round of golf at Kahili Golf Course. The staff is very attentive to any players needs. I arrived early and was able to go out early. The course was in great shape and a great value from the GolfNow site. Thank you for making my golf at Kahili a memorable experience! Matthew Smith, Vancouver, WA

Wet and windy

Prepaid for a screaming' deal, but rain made us rethink our strategy. Beautiful layout, but hard to appreciate with the wind blowing the rain horizontally in our face and backs. Felt like Scotland except hillier . Would definitely return for another round.

It's hard for me to play all the other expensive courses around Maui when you can play this beautiful well designed course...it's flying first class but paying coach fare...

great golf experience

Only downside was extremely slow play. Went out as a twosome and had to wait on every shot. needed a course marshal to speed up play. Did not see one on the course. Were able to spend time with the twosome in front and in back of us on several tee boxes.
Absolutely beautiful and well maintained layout however.

A Hidden Gem

The lower prices initially drew me to Kahili, I wanted to golf Maui and not pay $100-$200 a round. I was mildly skeptical as the other courses on island were much more expensive and the King Kamehama was right next door.

I couldn't have been more wrong.

This course was absolutely amazing and was by far WAY MORE BEAUTIFUL than so many others on island. I made a comment to my friend about some of the courses in Lahiana, how they were so boring (a few trees, all flat down by the water).

This course was great and challenging with some pretty good dog legs and a few water hazards/bunkers. The staff was great and made the experience even that much better.

If you're going to golf Maui, go here. Don't waste your money on more expensive places. Also, the views were absolutely unbeatable!

Best course, best view on Maui

If you only play one course on Maui, this should be it. Trade winds are sometimes string, but we're moderate on the two days we played. Aloha Friday rates can't be beat!

BEHIND A 5 SOME

Started out on first hole raining. A five-some ahead of us who had no golf etiquette. We were a two some and they didn't offer to let us play through - in fact, ignored us. We ended up skipping a hole to get in front of them. If we hadn't done that, it would have been a 5+ hour round. Sun came out after we started the back nine.

Great value, excellent shape

To me, this course is the #1 value on Maui. Great deal for $58 riding. Excellent condition, great staff. moderate level of difficulty, not super long.

Some holes have short lengths, but play up at least 30+ yards due to the wind. The day we played, we walked on and finished a 2 some in 3 hours. Excellent greens. Fair amount of sand, not a lot of water to hit over,

Also, no housing on the course makes it nice and scenic, although there are no "right up there" ocean holes like at Kapalua, Ka'anapali or Wailea.

Will Be Back

Not only a GREAT value for Maui, but a really fun course to play with 18 quality holes. I've played Wailea Gold and Emerald, Makena North, etc and Kahili is on par with these courses for less than half the price. Although no ocean-side "wow factor", there are still great views and scenery everywhere you look. Probably the only Maui course I will play from now on...it's kind of a no-brainer.

Great Par 3s

Very good layout. The strength of this golf course is in the very interesting par 3's. They all require careful club selection because they play up and downhill, downwind, across or against the stiff trade winds . Easy to make a double bogey or worse if you're not careful.
