Maui beaches! Photo submitted by u000005546095 on 02/17/2013
Good course
Seemed pricey for the experience - while I think the course is good - it was too much money for the experience
Pace of play - slow
It felt the course was overbooked and this led to a poor experience- course was good - it was just not a great experience
Fun, enjoyable afternoon of golf
Purse offer a great value for a fun course. Good value for their afternoon rounds. Course was fairly unremarkable for Hawaii but I. Good shape and pace of play was great.
Mahalo for playing Kaanapali and for taking the time to offer your feedback. We will be sure to let our team know you enjoyed your experience with us. We hope to see you again soon. A Hui Hou (until we meet again)!
Greens rolled unbelievably fast! Pin placements where unbelievable as well!!
Great course
We've played kaanapali Royal several times and love the layout. Nice wide open fairways and best greens on Maui.
Staff were great. I lost my range finder on the last hole and the staff found it.... Very helpful!

Improve On.
At that price, theya could afford to put 2 bottles of water in the cooler. And a couple of towels would be nice,

Pathetic pace of play, zero marshaling, bad bunkers
By the 6th hole there were 4 groups on the same hole. A group a couple in front of us had no idea how to play golf. One of them took 5 shots in the same bunker and never raked out. We called for a Marshall and no rever showed. Cloth liner showing through sand in bunkers. Benign layout. Greens were in good shape. They insist carts be back by 6 PM. You’ll never finish if you have a tee time later than 1:30. And
A bit disappointed
Bunkers were not good. Staff on course were great, however inside the clubhouse not so much. Definitely would not pay full price to play here
Kaanapali Kai Not Kept Up
Many issues here so beware!
Head pro doesn’t care to fix all sand drapes and have them churned, raked and dragged every day. The traps are horrible condition and course sprinklers flood the clay based traps.
Majority of carts do not have maintained/cleaned carts. All divot jars are empty and not maintained.
Pro Shop help is unfriendly, rude and could careless. They make ZERO effort to provide customer service.
Starter is more worried about his ego than helping your experience at the course. Uncle Joe as he’s called is a joke, unprofessional and makes up stories about the greens and reading the grain. Tells customers untrue and ridiculous stories on how to read the greens. He doesn’t pay attention to the pace of play and making sure the golfers are well taken care of to enjoy their round.
Not worth the $120 fee. Course is really worth $45. Over priced for the quality of what you receive. They need to learn how to better prepare the course and service the customer.
Not worth it.
Great day at Kaanapali Kai
There is only Kaanapali Kai in my price range for that part of Maui. I found the greens fast and dry. The fairways were good and varied types of fairways. Cart paths wete in excellent shape and you got around the course quickly. The sand traps were atrocious. Hard as concrete. Generally we just picked up the ball and placed it close to where it went in. Lots of slow players but most let you play through. But the views were unbelievable!!! The ocean is right in front of you and beautiful house all around the course. Will always play it but hope they improve the traps.
Economical choice of the 2!
We chose to play the Kai course simply because it was cheaper and easier of the 2 courses at Kaanapali. At least they said it was easier! NOT. Lots of very deep bunkers here but, the scenery was awesome.
Aloha and thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We apologize for the unusual slow day on your visit. Keeping our customers happy is our number one priority and I assure you this will be addressed. I’d hope you give us another chance in the future. Mahalo.
