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.

Disappointed with Kahili

I have played this course many times in the past and thoroughly enjoyed it. However, this time was a disappointment. The layout is as good as ever but the condition of the course was poor. The greens were especially bad and there was even a temporary green on the 7th hole. I probably will not play it again unless I hear that things have improved dramatically.

Golfnow online booking fee

The Kahili GC did not honor the fee charged to my credit card. They stated this was b/o Golfnow is a 3rd party. So once at the course we were charged the regular amount. We could have booked directly with the GC. I have never had this happen before, I have used GN on several occasions. BEWARE!

Not worth the money

Fairways and tee boxes are in decent shape... but the greens... they were recently aerated, bumpy, sandy, and inconsistent. The pro shop said they were done over three weeks ago, but it seems like they were recently done. Also one hole had a temporary green. There should have been a discount considering how bad the greens were.

demanding course in the wind

I like Kahili. Tough course because it always seems to be a two or three club wind when I play it in the afternoon (the price is better then). The greens were not as good as they've been in the past, but everything else was fine.

Great Fun

Kahili is one of our absolute favorites to play when we are in Maui. Always in good shape, great staff.

Great value for your money. They have deals sometimes. Definitely recommend this course, especially if you’re staying in Wailea or airport area. Its right on your way to Wailuku, easy to find and get there.

9 holes only?

Only playing 9 holes seemed to be offered through GN. This was disappointing. The layout is excellent. Fairways are in good shape. Greens were very fast. Unfortunately some of the greens had a weed problem.

Always a bit of a crap shoot with wind, but we caught a relatively easy wind day. Greens are a bit rough, but I’m told they are replacing all of them in coming months. Don’t understand the dynamic pricing efforts favored by management, but wouldn’t pay much more than what they’re getting at Maui Nui, Dunes or Pukalani this time of year to play here. But a great layout, fun to play at the right price.

Greens an enigma

Beautiful course. Well maintained except for a few blemishes on the greens. Speaking of the greens, come prepared to be challenged. They rolled quickly and true but they were very difficult to read. Such was my experience anyway. Enjoyed the round. Pace excellent. Service was good. I definitely recommend this course.

Good course for the $

Friendly staff, corse is upkept well. Greens need a bit of work, but still adequate. Wind makes some holes tricky. All around good course, pace was excellent. 3.5 hour 18, and allowed a single player to play-through. Great round!

Disappointing Conditions

Course layout was okay if you like playing golf courses in the hills where you constantly have uphill, down hill and side hilll lies. The worst part of the course was the greens, they were in terrible condition suffering from some sort of disease. Not worth the green fees they were asking for. Other local courses played had much better course conditions for better price.

The staff was friendly and nice.... Complimentry coffee was a good touch. Only because of the friendly staff did I not give it a lower experience rating.
