Reviews
Really bad sanded green we weren't told about beforehand.
Otherwise enjoyable course
My review
Love playing this course. Staff always friendly and pace of play is great. Thank you
The only “value” golf in Maui
Pros: Firstly, the staff are incredibly friendly. We had a 3:20 tee time and they were kind enough to let us go off early, at our request, to beat the sunset. Family vibes! And regarding the course, overall it’s probably the best bang for your buck, given the extremely high Maui prices. We got the sundown price of $89 after 3 pm, which although high, is below the median for the island.
Cons: I empathize with watering and the island’s access to golf courses maintenance. Overall the course is pretty lush, no complaints there. I do, however, question the cutting of the greens. Many times I was on the designated green by a good margin and yet was putting through fairway-length grass. Something that can easily be addressed.
This is not the current course and employees fault, but the design is subpar. Green complexes are poorly designed and extremely small. Smallest greens you’ll ever play, and certainly penalizes even the best of golfers.
Overall, for island golf it’s a decent value, but beware of the small greens, and semi-inconsistent mowing patterns on greens.
Wow. Nice.
Appreciate playing a course that's not 300.00 or more, that still offers beauty and a challenge .
Thank you.
Great vslue
We played 18 holes in 3 hrs 15 minutes and only waited twice before teeing off. Rough was very playable and well kept. Very well priced tee times if you are willing to tee off mid to late afternoon.
Excellent place to golf the greens were punched a a week earlier, but we knew going in that was going to be, so as long as the staff made us aware no problem will go there again
Fair
If you go to Maui and have played here before n the most. The Kai course is definitely with the money. I usually play Kapalua plantation, when I stay on this side of the island. I decided to try the Kai course since we were staying at the Hyatt. And I was pleasantly surprised in a good way. Challenging fun layout. Definitely worth $175-$200
Convenient and close to Kaanapali if staying there
Overall good vacation course. When on vacation, you don’t want to punish yourself and just have an enjoyable round. If this is you, then I recommend Kai. It is a pretty straightforward course and gettable as long as the wind doesn’t kick in. Once the wind kicks in, forget about it. The course becomes a super hard course. So play in the morning if you want to score. If you are looking for a challenge the. Play in the afternoon and you will be playing a super hard course.
Good but I expected more
When you think Ka'anapali, you think prestigious golf courses. While the course was nice, I felt some of the green were really slow and not particularly well maintained. Tee boxes the same, OK but I thought they would be nicer.
I would play here again, it is way cheaper than the Royal Course, and now I understand why.
Good Times!
Played the Kai course with my son and we had a blast? Love the layout and the challenging holes! See you next year!
Condition of greens were poor
Condition of greens were poor due to sanding. Price should have been discounted. Conditions should have been made public at booking I would have chosen different course
Way over priced
Greens are in absolute horrible shape with some type of weed growing in them. Whoever cuts and replaces hole locations has no clue what they are doing.
Kaanapali
Amazing course, staff was so friendly and outstanding. On the easier side but still some great and challenging holes with breathtaking views. Will be playing here again soon!
Beautiful views
The course was in great shape and for the price you can’t beat the views. I would gladly play it again on a return trip. Stacy was very helpful and appeared happy to assist.
