Kaanapali Golf Courses

Great track! Lots of elevation changes and big bunkers protecting the greens.

We played the Kaanapali Kai course, and it was not half bad. Not as scenic as some of the other high end courses around the island but this one was still enjoyable. It wasnt as plush and manicured as I would expect at a resort course, some of the grass sort of needed to be mowed there were little sprigs of weeds poking through in some areas. Also for example instead of a small building with restrooms, there were a couple of portables set up. The rough didnt seem that formidable on the outset, however we lost a few balls because they got nestled down deep in the rough even though they werent necessarily that bad of shots, which was annoying. The greens were quite difficult to navigate and read, I honestly just couldnt get the hang of it even through the last part of the round, and I would say they were quite slow. I guess this is a pretty good golf course, but it gets a little overshadowed by some of the other really high-end courses around the island.

Great local golf courses. Very well maintained. Very scenic. “Kids”and free year round with paying adult. Word to the wise - if you are playing a twilight round careful booking after 1:30pm cuz you probably won’t finish a full 18 holes. Sunset is 5:45-6:00pm in Maui. They also have soccer/kick ball golf daily after 4pm for the kids - the soccer course runs along the golf course holes. Check out the website for more details.

Great wide open course. Not a lot of trees so if it’s hot out make sure you got your sunscreen and lots of water. Greens were not super fast but most of them broke back toward the ocean. There were a lot of great views and the staff were great.

Still beautiful like last time

Very historic golf resort really... much golf history was made in the early 60s with historic golf events to kick off the Kaanapali resort.

This was a wonderful golf course in Hawaii, well maintained and the cart paths were also clearly marked. The course itself was very beautiful, some holes right next to the ocean others in between a pine forest. Not extremely challenging either which was great for me as a beginner.Could have always used the drink cart earlier especially on such a hot day. Golf carts did not pack with a minimum of a water bottle.There also are some weird holes where the local people that live in apartments are golfing on the greens. We were waiting for them only to discover they werent moving on.

Excellent course! We played Kai and it was very well kept with gorgeous views, definitely will play again!

Went to Roys. Food was great, server wasnt.

Awesome Value!! 2nd time I’ve played KAI and wasn’t disappointed. Tricky greens, really fast but well maintained and Beautiful views!!!

Good course..lots of sandtraps...best if go early or later

Was recommended to play Kai For views / cost . . Thx Jimmys Golf Shop. Breathtaking views from up the hill, Beautiful wide open course! Relaxed atmosphere. Perfect.

Everything about this course (Royal) was phenomenal, we rented clubs and they were practically brand new (Titleist) the carts were GPS and had mapped out holes, our instructor was Nick and he was amazing, friendly funny guy, the course itself was in pristine shape with epic views of the ocean making for an amazing experience, finally after 18 we were greeted by a gentleman with ice cold wet towels to wipe down, if I could give it 6 stars I would, thanks Nick and fellow staff

One of beautiful golf course Ive ever played. I played the Royal course, which is the more costly of the two. But my twilight fee was affordable and cheap. Rental clubs were good enough (tylormade). You will see beautiful site in every course. The weather was awesome and I had a great round of golf. Surprisingly, all courses and greens are well maintained.All crews are very friendly from greeting to end, he gave me towel with cold water when i returned my cart.My first day in Maui was perfect. Thanks all.

Beautiful and challenging! Highly recommended to the avid golfer. Go in the morning or late evening.

Ka’anapali is a well maintained golf court with stunning views. Definitely worth a visit for the full 18.

Great course, wind was challenging.

Beautiful scenery at Kaanapali golf course. Wind didnt cooperate with us that day but the sun was great. This is just two days before a tropical storm.

Played the kai course a couple times. Greens are pristine, fairways are in good shape, tee boxes are nice and flat. Best of all are the ocean and mountain views that can be enjoyed throughout the entire round.

Great course with open fairways and great views of Kaanapali, Hawaii

Great fairways and tricky greens, had two days of great golfing!

Great views

Most beautiful and relaxing round of golf I have ever played!

Great course, really nice vistas and some tough holes made for a fun round! Stick with the Royal course for the best bang for your buck, and hit the putting green first. Fairways and layout are relatively forgiving, which is nice because the greens are fast and there have been 20+mph wind gusts all 3x Ive played here over the last 2 years. Pace was good, even allowing for the *helicopter that landed on the 6th (5th, 7th?) fairway as I teed off*! Parking is a bit limited, but not THAT limited ;)

First rate! Everyone was very nice. The course was in great shape. Even after a hurricane it was in great shape.

Beautiful course great staff and fun to play. Nice views too

Kaanapali Kai Course - This is a really enjoyable course - very forgiving with stunning ocean views. The course aerates its greens in September like many Hawaiian properties, though they were well top dressed and could be played though. we were offered to play the Royal course (90 minutes later) or have a 30% reduction in green fees which we took them up on. The course was also empty so we played in just over 3 hours which was wonderful. Definitely worth playing at other times of the year (I also would have rated this excellent if the greens were better).

Great course not too difficult. Wide enough for casual golfer. Views anyone would love

Great course. Great views. Best early morning, or after 4pm. Good deal midday, but so muggy and hot. After 4pm best. Great ocean views on many holes.

Beautiful view and a very nice course. The staff treated everyone very nice. Every time we come to Maui we always stop to play here. Be weary that those greens run fast as hell!

Well manicured course with great pace of play and staging. However it rained the night before and none of the bunkers were raked before we played so they were virtually unplayable. Wouldnt have been an issue but virtually every hole has bunkers guarding the green.

Fast challenging greens that take a minute to figure out. Well maintained fairways surrounded by beauty.

Great course. Players are taken care of. Awesome if you can get in with local skins game.

Check in was easy, course was in pretty good shape, the greens werent overly fast and were running pretty true to what you saw. Pace was good, 3 1/2 hours for a foursome and we had to wait the last to holes. World play again.

Beautiful! My niece got to share this experience and learned how to make a fish from a palm frond.

Was out for some excersise and figured what better way to get it than hit a couple buckets of balls and practice on my game,. Beautiful course played both many times and almost broke 80.. come and see why its so nice and make your own call

Enjoyable round. Hard pressed to finish 18 teeing off at 1:50 pm. Interesting terrain changes and good views of Pacific and Lanai.

Nice course, played on a special unlimited golf play all day $129. My husband and I enjoyed the course, the views and it was fairly easy to play and close to all the restaurants, shopping. So if you want to play and wife wants to shop you can do both!!! The staff was so kind and helpful.

The course could have been in better shape.Enjoyed the amazing views.

Golfers paradise! 36 holes of great golf!

This is perfect place to eat very good lunch or dinner. The buffalo chicken wings was delicious, and clab sandwich was perfect, but the best of the best was mud pie. We ate there seven times and we will get back for sure.

The course is in perfect condition!

The view us gorgeous! Walking & jogging path easily accessible. Great music by the fire pit week days. Great resturants on the premises. Most of the workers speak to you as you pass each other. Multiple pools. They finally stopped people from placing their towels on the loungers around the pool while they werent using them. That was a lot of help!! Thank you Kaanapali North.

My husband played this course twice during our stay. Its a great course.

Perfect course. Challenging. Worth every penny

A beautiful combination of scenic views, challenging greens and lush fairways.

Not as dramatic as I expected, but still a well run resort golf course.

Every thing was top shelf, not hard to play but still was challenging for this amateur golfer.

Two great courses. Wonderful views. Attentive and cheerful staff.

The wifey and I had lunch at Dukes, and you HAVE TO try the Hula Pie. So good.

Nicely maintained with beautiful views

Great views while in Maui!

Beautiful golf course and well managed pro shop. Staff are very helpful and friendly. A must visit if you like golf.

I loved the driving range. Great place!

Nice course, employees have bad attitude... Could be a lot friendlier.

Great day of golf with my son. The staff there are very friendly and helpful. We rented golf clubs from “Steve’s “ which were less expensive then renting from the club house. Steve delivers the clubs to your hotel, and you can leave them at the course when you’re finished. Very convenient .

Overpriced, is it me or does everything and everyone in Maui want to fully take advantage of the tourist? The course played fair, but the greens were simple and slope was not a challenge. The ruff was fluffy so, use your lob wedge around the green, no chipping. Lol. Even the $99 rental clubs were overpriced. You can find better, unless your a stuck tourist at the resorts, then... they’ve gotcha

Love this course. Played the Kai course sue to maintenance on the Royal course. Still challenging and a lot of fun.

Staff is great, course is very nice, the 2nd hand clubs that I used were also pretty nice and the golf carts have GPS, pace was not bad at all, never waited on a group and never was being pushed, would highly recommend if you love golf!

The kai course was disappointing -- too close to the main road, especially the final three holes during rushhour traffic. Was not relaxing at all. Also, bunkers on the kai were horrid and rock hard. It was often easier to putt out of the bunkers.The royal course, on the other hand, was much more scenic, better conditions, and more pleasant overall, but for a few bucks extra Id rather play the Kapalua Bay course any day.Finally, range balls (no matter how terrible) and water bottles should also be included when youre spending 150+ per round.

Very well kept and challenging but fair course. Expensive but definitely worth playing once if youre on Maui.

Enjoyed an enjoyable round. Being a higher handicap golfer and being 83 years old I found several bunkers and lost 4 balls. We played early, and finished in 4 hours. Staff was great and on our next trip I will play again.

Great people, great greens and fairways. Fabulous day

Really fun course, my favorite. Pro shop is really nice and accommodating.

We had a blast!! We had a great day

Had the best time! Loved the course. Green reading is tricky but fun. Loved it!

Another great day of Maui golf on the Royal course. Always in perfect condition, challenging but fair with incredible views! Top shelf experience and perfect customer service.

(Guy whos played at a few courses, so call me picky if you want), but Ok at best. Staff was friendly, but $72 for two people, rental balls, and a cart for 9 holes only?!?!?! Cmon. I pay $26 in Houston for a very similar experience (except 18 holes but with no cart!!!). Hole markers were hard to find, views werent anything worth paying that markup for, and scorecards did not reflect par for the holes (only golf holes). I would be happy to pay $72 if it were 18 holes and the holes were carefully placed with great Hawaii views. But $72 for 9 holes where they basically keep you off the fairway does not make sense. Took advantage of people visiting Hawaii hoping to start or expand on their footgolf experience.

Beautiful course

Course is in great shape...greens were smooth and had good pace

Nice course for seniors with tight fairways and modestly fast greens. Very pleasant bag room staff and starter, pro shop not so much. Would definitely play again for the right rate!

An amazing and beautiful course. All but one of the staff were incredibly friendly. A few locals on the course were extremely confrontational, rude and arrogant. For they wanted to play ahead. So we let them. They teed off before the group ahead had even hit there second shot. One marshal ignored the situation and laughed it off. Not only did this marshal fail to do his job but he put patrons in danger. This is not okay. This local insinuated he wanted to fight us saying it was a small island and that he would see us at the club house. Will come again but only because the staff made it right. Very respectful staff at the clubhouse at the end apologizing for the incident. However that one marshal was nowhere to be found. This course has potential to be the best, but that one marshals lack of care brings them down notch.

Came for brunch on Sunday and it wasnt too busy. Country Club means a trailer overlooking the first hole and a partial view of the putting green.Food was ok. Didnt love or hate anything in particular. Probably a better grab and go after a round of golf or beers golfing buddies.

Nice place to chase a ball around!

I loved the course. Wind and rain was definitely a factor the day that I played it. The greens are challenging.

Love this place. Beautiful views.

Royal Course is excellent.Well kept, greens are true,Assistants are very helpful.Great place..

Beautiful course!

Wow! what great service and very helpful.

Fun course... tricky but fun greens

The courses are great but are getting chewed up do to people not replacing their divots. If youre going to play these courses, get out as early as possible as the wind will pick up and make it very difficult. I will definitely be playing here the next time I visit.

Nice course, greens are nearly impossible to read. Practice green is a false representation of on course greens. Grainy and bouncy.

Good time had by all

Awesome views! Beautiful design, tough greens!

Well maintained golf course. Should have low reasonable prices for Kamaianas.

Beautiful & Fun South Course. 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.

Good course. Not cheap. Had a late tee time so the heat was intense by the 15th hole.

Beautiful scenery. Flawless greens.

Beautiful views, grounds maintained nicely, most fairways were wide, staff very helpful & friendly. One of more reasonably priced courses, especially west side of Maui. Only negative is golfers not replacing divots or putting sand down.

Kaanapali courses are always in great condition. Gotta love the protected side of the island too. Trade winds are more than bearable and youll actually miss them when they take the occasional break. It also seems to get rained out less than other places on the island. Love the design of both courses... both are fair but can eat you up if you hit an errant drive or if you misplace your approach shot above the hole.

Wide open and great views.

OMG was it awesome!!!! Course was in perfect condition and greens were super fast!! A must for everyone that golfs!!! See you on the course...

Fun course to play with fantastic ocean views. The adjacent footgolf course is fun, but can be disruptive at times.

Enjoyed theKai side of the courses. Some nice ocean views . Staff nice and friendly.

Nice layout.. a bit too flat for me but touristy factor not too bad

Ka’anapali Resort : The Ka’anapali Kai, rated 3-12/ stars, and Royal Kaanapali courses are two well-rated and pleasantly testing resort-style layouts. Both courses offer scenic ocean and inland mountain views, although both are predominantly set back from the ocean behind the plentiful resort accommodations.

Beautiful course, and awesome staff. Careful if its windy, it can easily be 2 clubs.

Awesome golf venue and staff.

Just plain fun
