Kaanapali Royal - my idea of babymooning

Perfect bluebird day. Great group of guys I was paired up with. The people in front of us crawled along and we didn’t care. A couple of fun holes to navigate. Only slightly easier than navigating the emotions of a pregnant wife... whom I love very much... FOUR!

We play this course every year while on vacation in Maui. A super comfortable round for the average golfer!

Good round, but.......

I thought today’s round was really fun.

First the good...... very good course conditions, greens rolled very true. Good shots were rewarded. Pace was pretty slow, but there are worse places in the world to wait out shots, but you have to be patient. So, the not so good......Beer cart made 1 appearance, at 18. I guess I could have brought my own, but....

Also, the guys at the clubhouse were fine, but not very welcoming. I could tell it was a “job” for them. You work at a resort in one of the most beautiful places on earth, be appreciative of that. Was not the feeling that I got from them. Far from it. Was a little bit of a downer before and after a fun round

Great views and a better pace

When staying in kaanapali you must play this friendly course. Play the lava or black tees if you want to add some challenge. Remember greens break toward the ocean I even if it does not look like it. Played super twilight rate started at 3 and was in club house by 630.

Great views from the second tier of holes, bring the camera.

Beautiful views

My husband and I played here and the staff were amazing, the grounds are beautiful and the views breathtaking. This was a good course for an intermediate player, challenging with ponds, lots of sand traps.
