Such SLOW Pace

Sadly the pace of play ruined what should have been a quality experience at one of my favourite courses in the area. Front side took 2 1/2 hours to play! Waiting on every tee box. Back 9 slightly better at 2:15 hrs. Past times playing here marshalls did a much better job with pace of play.

Challenging

This course is always a challenge and a treat to play. The green fee was discounted because 18 was closed for bunker renos which I thought was fair. Tee boxes were a little shaggy but minor issue. Always enjoy playing at Mission Hills.

Great Value

Really enjoyed this course! Set up very nicely and eye pleasing. The different blends of grass made the generous fairways stand out. Greens were fast, firm
and true. Best of all, it was great value for the money.

Bad Condition

The course was in such bad shape! Fairways were muddy with a lot of standing water. Not a ball washer to be found considering you had to clean your ball after each shot. Saturday and no cart person. Bunkers did not have sand, only red dirt. Greens slow and bumpy. Lastly, no warm up range. Only a spot to chip and putt. In fairness to course, they had a bad storm earlier in the week but having given that, maybe put some ball washers out on the course!

One of my favourites!

Nicklaus Tournament Course never fails to disappoint me! This is my 4th time playing this course and it gets better every round! Even with the cart path only rule and slower greens, it is still my “must play” while visiting. It is one of the higher priced green fees for visitors but still worth it. Watch for deals!

Hidden Gem

Good value for the price. Golf in Maui is hard to find at under $100. I was pleasantly surprised by the course. Notably missing were ball washers at the tee boxes and glass reflectors on pins for us who prefer to use laser range finders. I will play again on my next trip to Maui!

Nice Course but too expensive

This is a nice course. I play it all the time when I come to Maui. However, when Christmas season arrives they jack the price up! So I only play it once for the $145 afternoon price. Use to play it a few times when they charged $99.

Love this Course

This course is one of my favourites in the area! Its in great condition and the greens are fast and true. Its not overly difficult but still a nice challenge. I played it 4 times during my month long stay. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Great value for the $$$. I am actually surprised the course is not busier because its such a gem.

One of my Favs

This was the second time I have played this course and the knowledge helped me score better! Greens are tricky but roll so nice! Golf course is in great condition! Had it not been for a couple bad swings I would have broke 80. Got a great deal on GolfNow for $59 so really good value!

Nice Course

One of my favourite golf courses in the area! Only lost 3 balls this round but because of shots into the water. Lol! All kidding aside, I love playing this course and getting to know it better each round. Greens are awesome and the fairway landing areas off the tee are generous. My only complaint was on the last 4 holes, the 3 some in front of us had collected their children and let them play the last 4 holes. Therefore the last 4 holes were painfully slow.

Better as you Go

This course has an interesting few holes to start. And the fairways are pretty rough but we played through. We are glad we did because when you turn the corner at 7 you arrive a a great par 3 with water along the right. The remainder of the course plays nicely and seems in better shape! It seems to be going through a transition.
The flags sticks did not have the glass refelctors so yardages were hard to get with the laser. Greens were in great condition. Staff was friendly and we got to meet Grant Fuhr (hockey fans will remember him) who is running the place so I expect he will have it in shape soon.

Great lay out!

I really like this course! There are no condos or houses surrounding it which is hard to find in this area. Good value in afternoon but pricey in morning. Course is in great condition and the greens tough. Hope to play it again while I am here!

Nice Course

Really liked this course! A good test of golf skills. Front 9 pace of play was perfect at 2 hrs but when we got to the back 9, it slowed right down for some reason. Took 2 hrs 45 to do back 9. Homes lining some of the fairways can be a little intimidating but fairways still wide enough. GPS systems on carts ok but could have provided more info on distance to hazards and doglegs. I would score much better on my next round.
