Ka'anapali Golf Resorts (Maui)

This is a great course for an average player

Plenty of challenge and greens are fast and true

Beautiful setting in Kaanapali

First group super nice let me play thru with COVID high fives . And cheers with a good dive No breakfast ball . Great round ended with da brahda helping with my sticks and a Aloha. Not like that stuffy butterfly course .Kapalua

Great value for the money on golf now. Greens are awesome and views are good.

Golf now price is half Kaanapali price...great value. Nice views, fast and fun greens. Bunkers are rough but playable...I think views are better on Kai than Royal. With Covid no services at course or on course, bring beers, water and food

If you’re on vacation in Maui you will love this course. Fair price and great greens. The rental clubs were very nice as well.

Had a couple circles on the card. Windy conditions- tricky fast greens

This was a great bargain through Golf Now. Kaanapali Royal is an outstanding course and we played in less than 4 hours.

If I had to play at 10:00 am I’d rather give my $175 to Wailea Old Blue. It’s in better condition.

I bookeda $99 rate at 2:30, showed up an hour early and got out right away. There aren’t many players in that noon to 2:00 bracket.

I am writing this review as I’m playing my round, so that should telL you about the pace of play. We have waited on every single shot since the 4th hole. No Marshall. Today I am playing the royal. I played the Kai a couple days ago and it was the same thing. Course layout is good. Conditions of fairways and greens are descent. Bunkers are like concrete. Tee box’s are not good. I haven’t played in the morning but my guess is it’s not much better. I’d look elsewhere. I won’t be back.

I had great time playing Kaanapali Kai especially at the rate I got through Golf Now.

It’s a nice course but for the money it should be better. No Marshal and way over booked so +5 hr round

Go early

Nice course in great condition. Fair landing areas off the tees with greens well protected by bunkers. Pace was a little slow but the views made it no problem. Small driving range with mats only but large practice greens. A little over priced but would play it again.

Challenging layout, great setting. Course was in terrific condition. Teeing off at 12:42 PM, we played in less than four hours. Driving range is weak, but everything else was first rate.

I would of liked a credit to play another course. It was brutal with high winds and rain. You can’t get a refund unless the course closes. Which probably will never happen. I’ll think twice about using Golf Now for rounds in the future.

I decided to play the tips as I find it offers the most scenic views. Played the cheaper Kai course. Teed off at 1:50 pm and struggled to get all 18 in as we were following a threesome with a beginner lady golfer. I hope the new 54 handicap doesn't encourage more high handicappers to play on championship courses as it really ruins the experience. Par 70, over 6,300 yards, although numerous tees had been moved up. W

indy conditions. Only about 5 holes on the flat lower grounds and the rest are on the side of the volcanic ashes making for entertaining holes with great vistas. The greens were running fast and true and were very soft from all the rain. Beautiful views of volcanic mountains and a late afternoon finish provided some great light for photos. Sand traps were fair and sand quality was good for getting it up and down. Not many water hazards on the course.

We got to the 13th tee box 25 minutes behind time. We played at 13:02. Tells you something about the pace of play. Very frustrating. Course in good condition generally but there couldn’t have been more than 2 players in front of us who knew how to fix a ballmark on the green, or a divot on the fairways. Pro shop has some great duds though. The trade winds and the showers are part on the game here, so can’t complain about that. It comes with the territory. But it sure does make for some incredible rainbows!

We stayed at a nearby hotel which offered my family 3 free rounds if we walked in through a timeshare presentation, a no brainer. When we got to the course they gave us a deal to rent clubs and I was expecting a run down set, no sir, we got year old titleists! They had a wide variety of shaft types for lefties and righties which is great.

As the course is concerned, it was a beautiful course that was maintained very well. A few holes seemed a little too close to the hotels/homes/ parking lot, but it was more a preference then an actual problem.

Sticker price for the course is a little steep, so I would make sure to get a deal. Under $150 and it's totally worth it.

Mahalo!
