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.

Beautiful, varied features

So many "photo" worthy holes plus excellent playing conditions: greens uniform, fairways excellent, nice choice of tees. When playing in the afternoon expect wind (though we were lucky and had only moderate breezes) . Overall one of the prettiest courses for a moderate price.

Great course for the price

Kahili is different than some courses on Maui. The holes run horizontal to the mountains vs. other courses on the island will run up and down the mountains. This makes for more normal lies. I started early in the morning and never experienced any strong trade winds that would normally effect your ball flight. There is a GPS in every cart that will give you verbal tips at the beginning of every hole. The staff at the course is very customer oriented and helpful before and after your round. I would play their again.

Beautiful course in perfect location

Booked the course online with a very good rate and enjoyed playing this course located up hill making it challenging due to elevation changes.
The organization is very professional and perfect timing of the tee time.

Hard not to be distracted by the views

I played on a warm Sunday afternoon. The course was in good shape. Greens rolled smooth, but much slower than I was used to, so it took a few holes to get used to. Set up kind of like a resort course; wide fairways, and the rough wasn't really all that penal. A fun round.

Affordable excellence

Good golf course and the staff is very good. Pace of play was right wher it should be--3 1/2--4 hrs. You must learn to play the wind and the greens are very hard. The ball tends to run through rather than stop.
Very good value when you can play 4 or 5 rounds at Kahili for the price of one round at the overpriced resort courses.

Great value

Overall the course is very nice and avery good value. The staff was friendly, especially Diane when we returned our cart as she wiped down our clubs. The wind yesterday made for a challenging round. Only a few suggestions to the course managers. One, work on you tee boxes, they were a little beat up and unlevel. Two, have a more frequent beer cart running around and three, consider having an ATM machine on the property.

Better when not playing in 35+ winds

Played this course twice. First was in winds of 35 mph+. Hard to have much success. Played second time when it was just breezy, and a lot more fun. Course was in good shape and the staff was friendly and professional.

We really enjoyed the course and
we're going back today. The greens are tricky always putt to the ocean no matter how you think you read the green.

Fun layout, tricky greens.

Kahili golf course was a very fun course to play. Each tee shot seemed to require a slightly different approach but there was always a pretty clear choice (aided by the helpful GPS tips). The greens typically broke more than what was read (a lot more for most of our foursome) but were completely fair. I imagine one could shave 4-5 putts off their round if they played a second time. I would recommend Kahili to those who want a break from resort courses. It is set in a beautiful natural setting on the lower slopes of West Maui mountain. The sun beams in on you all day while the banyan trees provide opportunities for shade.
It exceeded all of our expectations.
