Maui beaches! Photo submitted by u000005546095 on 02/17/2013
a beautiful course that was a joy to play
the greens were quick but true and in perfect shape. the fairways were very nice. the homes bordering the course were very high end and had great landscaping. ocean views on almost every hole. quiet and not very busy. good sand in bunkers. friendly and attentive cart girl.
Nice course with some great views.
People at the cashier not really friendly, might of our booking through golfnow. Other stuff very friendly and helpful. No water in the cooler. Very Good GPS system, wonderful greens and views.
Fantastic golf resort golf experience.
Wide fairways lesson need for accuracy off the tee, but widely changing hole elevations and well trapped, undulating greens provide significant challenge to any golfer. Beautiful layout along Maui Kaanapali coastline. Excellent vacation golf venue
Nice Layout
Really enjoyed playing this course. Up and down the Maui mountains, well maintained and friendly staff. Pricey if calling in direct but can find hot deals thru Golf now if you watch for them. Your TT must be flexible. We played a second round here due to that.
Nicely improved.
I played this course a few years ago and it was dry and brown. It is in much better shape now (June 2013). It's beautiful and a joy to play!
Front desk staff treated golf now customer equal to stray dog
the greens were nice, took a dip in the ocean while waiting for the two 4 somes in front of me. Course was easy till the winds kicked in.
Muni course for private club pricing.
Played Wailea Emerald the day before and that was a truly wonderful experience. Then went to Royal and that was a total disappointment.
Rental clubs had no grip left and course was a little boring. Able to play at a pretty good pace until we came up to a group of 5 players on 16. Thankfully we were able to join a twosome so slow down a bit. Asked the staff about this and all they could say is that they don't have any Marshall's.
Save your money for a course that's worth it or enjoy a great dinner instead. Not even worth a second consideration.
Hawaii Gem
The staff is very helpful and the views are some of the best on the island. Thank you Golf Now for a great day on the links.
Nice resort course, great location.
I played at a $99 rate because the greens had just been aerated. I thought it was a fine resort course, but mostly uninspiring. I certainly wouldn't pay the $200+ rack rate. Loved the location... right near the Ka'anapali resorts.
Very good! Would play it again.
Beautiful views of the West Maui mountains, and the ocean as well. Difficult greens to read; as everything breaks to the ocean and quickly. Slow putting away from the ocean to the mountains. Wide open fairways. Water comes into play on the 1st, 17th and 18th holes. My wife just started playing golf and she loved it!
Great course. Greens were very good
Golf course was really nice. Only issue was a local group of players that wouldn't let us play through.
Perfect warm up course
Pace of play on a Wednesday was ideal. It was my first course I played on my trip and being that it was fairly forgiving it was the perfect way to warm up for harder more pricey courses to come in the week.
Great views.
A challenging, fun and rewarding experience with great views. Greens were quick and offered a read challenge. I would like to play this course again in the future.
Going downhill
The Kai course needs attention. sandtraps are in need of sand.It also needs washrooms. only has 1 set of Portolets on the course. It really doesn't feel like a resort course as you rarely see the refrreshment cart.
Not a Good Value
The course is way too expensive for what you get. The wind was rediculous on the day I played and there was a terrible sewer stench on several holes near the clubhouse.
Great course, but would not pay full price
A classic course with nice layout. Well maintained and great service from very attentive staff. Hard not to recommend playing this course, but can find better value on the island - we played mid-day for about half off rack rate and would not go back at regular rates.
Brutal Greens & Wind
Overall the course was challenging but the greens and wind were brutal and made it very challenging! The greens were so fast and I had a difficult time reading them. I received some conflicting advice from a pro article saying the greens did not always break towards the sea, but they did! I swear it looked uphill but the ball rolled right towards the ocean every time.
The wind can be very strong, I played in Feb during the trade winds. Sometimes the 5 iron was good for 200 plus or 140, crazy!
If you are a dead eye on the greens and don’t mind the wind you will do well, I struggled but hey, its golf in Maui!
Liked: Golf in Maui, layout, condition, staff, great bar, close to hotel.
Dislike: sand bunkers, sand bunkers, glass like greens
Fun but dry
We were very surprised at the lack of water, food and as the couple playing with us said, restrooms. The man golfing with us said he couldn't even find a tree to hide behind. We had fun and were matched with another couple that were fun to golf with. They need to have a sign at the snack shack that let's golfer know that there is no water for the next few hours. Even the water jug was empty. We would probably not play at that course again just for the neglect factor. We were told they have refreshment carts on the Kai course. I would bring my own just in case. I was given many excuses from staff. One, " Your in Maui, everyone here is in their own world" implying they have no regard for anyone else. Two," the cart girls were bickering over which course they made the most money on, so we had no carts because certain nationalities don't spend any money on snacks! staff actually said that! So much for my review but you did ask.
Decent course.
Had to keep carts on paths because of wet conditions. This always makes for a longer and more challenging round.
ok course
only one place to get water , Way to maney people took forever.2/
Be glad there was no water in the water coolers. Gave me major diarrhea for 24 hours.
