Fun course with spectacular ocean views

Pro shop staff friendly.

Starters very friendly and helpfull

Tee boxes in good shape

Fairways were great

Greens were very smooth, consistent not overly fast, plenty of slope and grain.

Green side bunkers were pretty well maintained and quite consistent and playable- good thing because there’s a bunch of them and with strong winds playing with my golf ball, I hit a bunch of them

The front nine especially has gorgeous ocean views.

Pace of play wasn’t terrible but our fore some consistently were waiting on a twosome ahead of us who were painfully slow and I didn’t see anyone else slowing them down

Good resort course

Second time playing this course. Fairly recent since punching the greens so they were rough. Also the sand traps had been watered and were near,ly unplayable. Rest of course was fine

First time at Royal Kaanapali

The course was great! The only reason it did not get a Five Star was because the greens had been aerated so putting was a chore!. Easily playable! For all golfers!

I would recommend this course!
