Ka'anapali Golf Resorts (Maui)

Was really looking forward to playing this course again until I was heading for the first tee to find out that there was all foursomes ahead of me, being a single I would like to be told that before i paid.. No bigge I can hit two balls that's fine. Then I was told the greens had been recently aerated again not terrible have played greens like that before but they could have put a notice on when booking tee time not finding out on way to tee box after paying full price. I have never seen tee boxes in such a condition were really rough and uneven!Was my third and final round of my trip and left me disappointed..

Was only single behind all foursomes. Wasn't told until after I paid. Didn't mind that as such. The quality of the tee boxes were like a corn field. Very very rough and uneven. Also greens has just been aerated was told that heading to the first tee. Again I don't mind playing on aerated greens but I'd like to be told before I pay full price for something..I don't often write reviews but felt I had to in this case! After playing in Kapalua and king kamehameha for the same price the quality difference is night and day..

This course is beautiful. The ocean is in the background in most of all of the back 9. The winds are so strong!! They are really the most challenging thing about the course! People were friendly, carts were nice with the GPS. Rented clubs there on site and that was easy. Overall great experience.

Good price for a nice resort course. Would recommend playing while in Maui.

We enjoyed the course the first day playing and came back for a second round. Warning, no matter how it looks to the eye almost every green breaks toward the ocean! The greens had been aerated within the last month but still rolled true and with good pace. Fairways and bunkers were well maintained and there are very nice elevation changes, especially on the par 3 holes. The course is forgiving, as a resort course should be, but the challenging greens make up for a good test of your short game. Although I would have loved to play the Kaanapali Royal course, it was closed for maintenance during our stay, the play was a pleasure and I will surely play again on our next trip.

We had a good day just being able to golf on Maui but our experience was tempered because the greens had recently been punched. The fairways were interesting with beautiful scenery.
I would golf here again but would enquire as to annual maintenance before I booked.
A frustration by all in our party was the hard pack sand in the bunkers, couldn't shoot at all like regular play.
Note to first timers playing in the extreme heat/humidity, hydrate more than you would any other time.

Mixture of both fairly simple and somewhat challenging holes. The bunkers had a lot to be desired - hardly any sand.

First time golfing this course. The greens were so different (very nice). My son had a great eagle shot on the sixth hole... Under the branches, over the bunker, down the slope and in the hole! Great greens, great views, great game, beautiful weather and wonderful staff. Booked through GolfNow. Thank you!!!

Great course for the golf now price . Great staff . Adequate driving range. Nice pro shop .

Really easy course tee to green but the greens are difficult if you are not familiar with the course.

We paid $57 for a afternoon round. I think that is what this course is worth. Ok views of the ocean.
The course is sloped so most fairways if not played right will roll sideways so a great tee shot could end up bad. I guess they let the staff know who got deals and you are treated differently. Though the greens where in nice shape.

If you want to play multiple rounds in Kaanapali, try the Kai course. It is a little shorter than the Royal, but the difference is limited to the par fours. So long as the trade winds are blowing, the Kai will be challenging for most. It was a great value for me because I got an unusually low green fee. The bunkers needed more sand, but they should get more during the maintenance scheduled for late May. The holes have good variety.

Staff is amazing and welcoming. High tech amenities and gc in great condition. Thank you for a great experience.

The course is designed to be played in the prevailing strong trade winds. Generous fairways allow drives to be carried by the winds without severe penalty. Expect many sand shots if your approaches are blown off-line. The par threes are especially challenging: three are mid-length uphill and the fourth is over water. The course has great views of the ocean and mountains. Overall it is very enjoyable.

I was paired up with an older couple where the wife was a novice. It was very hard to focus so I politely moved ahead as a single. I went through two other couples and was finished in 3 hours. It was extremely windy and that made it more of a challenge however the course was wide open and not too long. The greens were fast and in great shape. I thought it was a bit overpriced for the value as I played Kahili three days earlier for half the price and found the course more challenging and more picturesque.

We thought that the course was not worth $99 we paid to play. There are much better courses for less money on the island. The bunkers really need more sand and work.

Played around 11:30 starter got us out a little early on the Kai course. Hooked up with a nice couple from Mass. Jim & Doreen (shout out) good sticks! They did a food job on the course considering the wind storm the previous night, had all the palm leaves and coconuts piled on the sides of the fairways. NBD! Cart girl was working double duty on both courses so we loaded up! We were told ahead of time. This course has a lot of slope to it not too much wind this time,we were lucky, and greens were in great shape! Easier of the 2 courses try and book on GNow to save some bucks! Plays up in the hills for the most part but still some great views !!

I thoroughly enjoyed my round of golf here at Kaanapali Kai. The staff was very friendly and accomodating, and the person I was paired with was an average golfer like myself, so we had a great time.
The course was in great shape, and the great weather certailny helped set the tone. I would have come back for a replay another day if I had been on the island longer.

It's a great coarse just don't expect any special treatment !!!

The staff are very friendly. The course is very well maintained. Using GolfNow knocked a few bucks off, which is always welcome. Would recommend.
