Course Sketches
Maui’s newest golf course, The Dunes at Maui Lani, is an 18-hole course, par 72 and 5833 yards, designed by Robin Nelson. Located in Central Maui, Maui Lani winds its way through ancient Hawaiian sand dunes and is the closest thing to an authentic links course that Hawai‘i has to offer.
 
Ka’anapali Tournament North Course, an 18-hole resort course, par 71, 6136 yards. The venerable Robert Trent Jones, Sr. created a certified golf challenge when he laid out this West Maui course. The 18th hole demands a shot over water and is said to be one of the toughest holes in the Islands - a perfect finish for a beautifully maintained course.
 
Ka’anapali Resort South Course, an 18-hole resort course, par 71, 6067 yards. This was a piece-of-cake executive layout until Arthur Jack Snyder got his hands on it in 1977 and added some real golf gusto. This is a good one for players of all levels.
    
Kapalua Bay Golf Course, an 18-hole resort course, par 72, 6051 yards. Arnold Palmer designed this one. The par-3 fifth hole calls for a drive across an ocean inlet.
  
Kapalua Plantation Course, an 18-hole resort course, par 73, 6547 yards. Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore designed this newest of Kapalua’s three championship courses, hailed as the best layout in the state of Hawai‘i. Home to the annual PGA Tour winners-only Mercedes Championships.
 
Kapalua Village Course, an 18-hole resort course, par 70, 5753 yards. This is another Arnold Palmer knock-out. The challenge is there, and so are the views. The sixth tee panorama is a definite distraction.
       
Makena North Course, an 18-hole course, par 72, 6567 yards.  Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., the North Course offers a more mountainous layout, combining magnificent views with strategic and challenging golf. It’s said to be more spectacular than the South course, but both are unforgettable.
 
Makena South Course, an 18-hole course, par 72, 6630 yards.  Also designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., Makena South offers a true Hawaiian seaside layout with gently undulating fairways and views of Molokini islet. The two eye-popping holes are the 15th and 16th.
  
Maui Country Club, an 18-hole private course at Sprecklesville, par 37, 3274 yards; open to the public.
 
Pukalani Country Club, an 18-hole public course, par 72, 6494 yards. Located smack in Upcountry on the slopes of Haleakala, it is one of the highest-elevation courses in Hawai‘i. Sometimes the air is so cool, a sweater is de rigueur. Excellent design elements are incorporated into this little known course. Another bonus: great views.
 
Elleair Golf Course, an 18-hole public course in Kihei, par 71, 6003 yards. This windy course offers ocean views from every hole. High handicappers will have a great game if they’re not distracted by breaching whales or challenging wind gusts.
   
Waiehu Golf Course, an 18-hole municipal course in Waiehu, par 72, 6330 yards. The first nine holes were laid out in 1930 and the rest of the course came 33 years later. It’s almost like playing two different courses in one. The original nine run along the shoreline. The back nine are mountain holes, tough and windy. Fees are among the lowest in the state.
 
Sandalwood Golf Course, an 18-hole public course, par 72, 6011 yards. This course has sweeping views. Fairways ease into the spectacular foothills of Kahalawai (the West Maui Mountains).
 
Wailea Blue Course, an 18-hole resort course, par 72, 6397 yards. Play meanders amidst multi-million dollar homes and upscale condominiums on the lower slopes of Haleakala. This is a true resort course, with trickling fountains, serene lakes and wide fairways.
 
Wailea Gold Course, an 18-hole resort course, par 72, 6152 yards. Prehistoric lava rock walls and gardens of indigenous grasses compete with stunning ocean and mountain vistas for the title of most distracting hazards.  Home to the ConAgra Foods Skins Games Series.
  
Wailea Emerald Course, an 18-hole resort course, par 72, 5873 yards. This course is alive with tropical blossoms in rainbow hues. Designed for pure enjoyment, the course affords awe-inspiring views of offshore islands Molokini, Kaho'olawe and Lana’i.
  
Most courses offer instruction geared to any level of skill. Most have exceptional club house facilities with restaurants and pro shops, including the award-winning Wailea pro shops.
