Maui beaches! Photo submitted by u000005546095 on 02/17/2013
Location location...otherwise not worth it
Location location location.....smack in the middle of Kaanapali..... paid 113 for twilight and will not do it again. condition not better than most muni courses in California at 1/3 or the price. Kai course really does not have ocean view. For the price, only portapotty available on the course (unacceptable), no water stations. saw the food cart ONCE during the 18 holes... rather drive out to other courses to play
Happy to play this one again
Yesterday was the third time I have played this course and I will not hesitate to play it on my next visit to Kaanapali.
The course condition is excellent, although a little more sand in the bunkers would be great!
The greens are fast so be ready to have some longer than anticipated 2nd putts.
The two things I would suggest could be improved are: 1. Practice range is very limited and I just don’t like having to use mats and 2. There is a small and well hidden putting green that could be better signposted as it not seen until you are not n your way to the 1st tee.
Kaanapali Royal
Course was in very good condition. One hole though was shortened due to what appeared to be maintenance of the fairway.
Aloha and Mahalo for giving us your feedback. We will be sure to let our team know you enjoyed your experience with us. We hope to see you again soon!
Great condition and great views
Really enjoyed this course. Greens were great. Lots of elevation changes. Will play again when in Maui.
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)!
ALL WEATHER!
Played in rain, wind and a little slower pace but enjoyed playing the course. Played this course 2 times during our week vacation,
Charlie Foxtrot
You would think that a world renowned resort course would put a few tees in the cart, spring for a water bottle or two ( like every other course in Hawaii), but no. Plus no alcohol on the course, only fair course conditions. Looks like they don’t change pin positions daily either. Sum total is: find somewhere else to play even if it costs more. These bozos don’t seem to care one way or the other.
Mahalo for playing and sharing your review. We appreciate you and look forward to seeing you again soon.
Aloha Pete and Mahalo 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)!
Great course and fun to play
Always a treat to play either course at Kaanapali. The Royal is a little more difficult but also more fun. Figuring out the slope and breaks on the greens is a lot of fun. Great views from many of the holes! Great staff and very good Course conditions.
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)!
Kenny’s review of Kanapaali
My friend rob and I played this course and had a great time. Greens weee tremendous and so many great views. Course reminded me of a local course in Brewster, WA named Gamble Sands. Resort style course that doesn’t whoop you! Yes, there’s some water and tough putting reads, reading the grain on the grass significantly affects putting speed. We finished our round in under 4 hours and got many great pics. I would love to play again especially if the fee wasn’t so high. No alcohol with cart girl which was frustrating. To go drinks available before you tee off but can’t get there easily at the turn. Wonderful course and memory.
Aloha Kenny. Glad to hear that you and Rob had a great time playing out here at Kaanapali Golf Courses. We'll make sure to share your review with out staff. Mahalo and hope to see you back soon!
This course had friendly staff
Kaanapali is a great place to play. Wide open fairways yet challenging pin positions. Renovation being done on Hole 7, which could've been explained at the start. Weather is always a factor especially the wind.

Fun course great pace of play
How can you complain when you're on vacation and play a 3 hr and 10 minute round. Rain in the forcast but held off all day. If you're on Maui there are no really bad courses. Just some are a little harder than others!
Aloha. You are spot on with your review. We are thrilled you enjoyed your round here at our Kaanapali Golf Courses. Sounds like a perfect day with a 3 hour round and great weather as well. Hope to see you back again soon! Mahalo.
A fun but challenging course
Beautiful vistas wide fairways tough greens. A great course!
Aloha Randy and Mahalo for the 5 star review. We are very happy to hear you had a great experience out here at our Kaanapali Golf Courses! We hope to see you back out again soon!
Mahalo for the great rating. Please come again!
