Maui beaches! Photo submitted by u000005546095 on 02/17/2013
The Royal
I found the fairways generous sizes, bunkers in good condition, and the greens tough to putt at times. Navigating the wind made the course play tough but fair. If you enjoy a challenge this is the course for you especially from the blue tees. Mahalo!
Aloha and thank you for taking the time to offer your feedback. We are thrilled to hear you had a positive experience here at Kaanapali golf courses. We will be sure to let our team know you enjoyed your round of golf with us. We hope to see you again soon. A Hui Hou (until we meet again)!
Fun course- but some improvements needed
Was disappointing to have 7th hole tee box under repair and have a hokey tee box making it so short and no effort to make tee box even decent. Should not be paying full price with one entire hole basically useless. Would like to see beverage cart with beer or drinks available.
Other than that in very good shape, great views and fun course to play.
Aloha and thank you for your feedback. We are doing our best make that hole safe again so our guests can play it again as a par 4. As it is, it's still a very challenging uphill par 3 with a 3-tiered green and 5 bunkers protecting the green. Hope you’ll give us another chance in the future as we expect to complete the emergency repairs shortly. Mahalo.
Mahalo for playing and sharing your review. We appreciate you and look forward to seeing you again soon.
Aloha friend. We will be sure to let our team know you enjoyed your round of golf with us. We hope to see you again soon. A Hui Hou (until we meet again)!
Sand traps
Course was enjoyable, except for the sand traps. Tough to get out of especially with the lack of sand. Most spots I was in was less than 1” with some underlying rocks and/or roots.
Aloha and thank you for your feedback. We are happy to hear that maybe not all but most of your round was quite enjoyable. Hope you’ll give us another chance in the future. Mahalo.
Not bad
I was here for 10 days and love to play golf, so I bought the 5 round deal, which basically equates the 1 free round. The Royal is a decent track. Personally, I think the front is the nice 9 and features pretty much the only doglegs on the course. The back is most straight with elevation changes. With the exception of #17 there are no interesting Par 3’s. As mentioned, it’s a decent golf course and they keep it in good condition, although it is worth mentioning they didn’t change pins between days a few times, and this resulted in unsightly frayed holes around the edges. Greens were solid and rolled well despite being a bit on the thicker side. It’s an open track and the elements are the biggest challenge. I’d say it plays longer than the yardage. Staff was courteous and the range is fine. I’m glad I played it. There are some fabulous views in a few spots. Pricing is high for the experience and there’s zero dollar value at $235 a round. This is a $75 golf course anywhere other than Hawaii, and they also benefit from no local competition other than Kapalua.
Mahalo for playing and sharing your review. We appreciate you and look forward to seeing you again soon.
Greens were slow and shaggy. Still showed effects of recent aeration.
Aloha and Mahalo for giving us your feedback. Yes, we're just finished our spring aerification on both courses and the greens are rolling beautifully now. We will be sure to let our team know you enjoyed your experience with us. We hope to see you again soon!
Terrible
Greens were terrible, lots of sand on greens. Should have received a discount.

Not Resort Style Golf
I have played here whenever I've come to Maui, but I will not play it again. No food until 12:00. Lost their liquor license. No cart person. I called after hole 9 to see if I could get a half refund since it was such a terrible golf experience and the front-desk person was very rude (and they didn't refund me half - was definitely a longshot, so not docking them points for that).
It's expensive but doesn't provide the amenities one would expect from a Hawaiian golf experience. Although a bit more expensive, just go up the road to Kapalua. It's the type of golf experience you would expect on vacation.
Vacation Golf
Nothing better than playinf in Hawaii on a great course.

No Alcohol
Was shocked that I couldn’t enjoy a beer while playing.
Large tine punched Greens
Cancelled booking, I was not advised the the greens were punched and re opened the day we were supposed to play.
Staff was friendly and cancelled my time but did not get my refund from Golfpass.
Aloha,
I believe your booking was through "GolfNow" and therefore the confusion. Please contact me directly at kreul@kaanapaligolfcourses.com
I will need some more details about your reservation and will process your refund. Very sorry for the misunderstanding. Mahalo. GM.
