Fun course

Had not played this in 38 years, but was very enjoyable, winds were not too bad, but wee in opposite direction from normal so long holes played into the wind. Greens were not lightning fast but were consistent, fairways in great shape

Local Favorite

I enjoy playing the course every time I get when on vacation here in Maui. The staff and the cart crew were exceptionally helpful. I played a round with a local and was told that this is one of the locals favorite courses to play.. I’ll be back next year.

Pretty course.

Fun course. Very nice scenery. Make sure you buy alcoholic drinks before you start your round at their food/drink store before you start your round. We were disappointed when the cart person on the course with drinks/snacks informed us they didn’t carry any alcohol on the their cart.

The course was in good condition. The only issue was the wind blowing 20 miles per hour.
