Ka'anapali Golf Resorts (Maui)

Easy to keep ball in play but difficult around greens.

inside staff not so friendly. outside staff great, especially Jack.

Course well maintained, and adequately challenging. Nice greens, except for the obvious recent sanding. The starter did an exceptional job of putting appropriate foursomes together.

Course was fun to play, placing your tee shot was paramount, would have been nice to know when I booked this course that that had aerated the greens, but they rolled pretty good.

The course itself has a lot to offer...worth the money.... yes. But stay in one of the resorts near the course...that's the rate you wanna pay...wind plays a factor when playing but overall an enjoyable time..

I played both coarses and I liked the Kai because it seemed a little more forgiving. The staff was fantastic. They saw me walking from a nearby hotel and came with a cart to get me.

Kaanapali Kai is always a favorite course to play when I am on Maui. The course and greens are in great condition, and the staff is extremely friendly. I love this course!

Beyond the gorgeous views, this course was a pleasure to play. Enough challenge with water and sand, yet friendly to the less skilled of us. Overall experience was awesome, we hope to get back to play again.

See above. Pace of play good. Greens were rolling about 7 or 8. It indicated 9, but they were bumpy...

Fun course to play......greens need help.....need to be rolled...very bumpy...

Traps are good as are fairways and tees.....

Booked a tee time for approx. 7:30.First problem occurred when they tried to charge us $125 after we had booked on golfnow for $99. (they did honour the 99 rate after I made an issue of it) I like to play early to ensure a less than four hour round which should not have been a problem with a wide open resort course such as this. (I am a 22 handicap and never had any trouble keeping the ball in play) Well, the round took 4 hrs and 45 minutes!!! Why? Two fivesomes were sent out ahead of fours, threes and twos. One of the foursomes had only three sets of clubs!!! Who allows this??? (not even the munis where I come from)Never a sign of a marshall anywhere on the course and a cart girl we saw only twice. For a course that normally charges around $200 a round, the level of service and effort in maintaining pace of play was abysmal. I will be taking my Hawaii golf dollar elsewhere in the future. Courses like the Dunes, Kahili, Pukalani offer better play, more interesting layouts and far better service.

Beautiful course with many great views. Wide fairways and player friendly for intermediate golfers. Great deal if you can get it on golf now for around $100. Too expensive for the standard rack rate as you can play Kapalaua Plantation for about $15 more.
While most employees were very good, there is definitely an attitude and/or arrogance amount some.

Pretty wide-open course, but the winds can put a damper on your game if you're not used to it. Course was in great shape, but the greens seemed to be a little long which rolled really slow. They probably would've rolled better if I showed up on a day they had just been mowed. I'm not sure if I would play this course again and pay the regular rate. I would say 75% of your green fee goes towards the scenery. The scenery on many of the holes was great. The staff there was nice. If you get a good deal, I would recommend this course.

the greens were quick but true and in perfect shape. the fairways were very nice. the homes bordering the course were very high end and had great landscaping. ocean views on almost every hole. quiet and not very busy. good sand in bunkers. friendly and attentive cart girl.

People at the cashier not really friendly, might of our booking through golfnow. Other stuff very friendly and helpful. No water in the cooler. Very Good GPS system, wonderful greens and views.

Wide fairways lesson need for accuracy off the tee, but widely changing hole elevations and well trapped, undulating greens provide significant challenge to any golfer. Beautiful layout along Maui Kaanapali coastline. Excellent vacation golf venue

Really enjoyed playing this course. Up and down the Maui mountains, well maintained and friendly staff. Pricey if calling in direct but can find hot deals thru Golf now if you watch for them. Your TT must be flexible. We played a second round here due to that.

I played this course a few years ago and it was dry and brown. It is in much better shape now (June 2013). It's beautiful and a joy to play!

the greens were nice, took a dip in the ocean while waiting for the two 4 somes in front of me. Course was easy till the winds kicked in.

Played Wailea Emerald the day before and that was a truly wonderful experience. Then went to Royal and that was a total disappointment.

Rental clubs had no grip left and course was a little boring. Able to play at a pretty good pace until we came up to a group of 5 players on 16. Thankfully we were able to join a twosome so slow down a bit. Asked the staff about this and all they could say is that they don't have any Marshall's.

Save your money for a course that's worth it or enjoy a great dinner instead. Not even worth a second consideration.
