My favourite course on Maui

The Old Blue has become my favourite course on Maui, now that Makena North is closed for major renovation. This is simply a beautiful old track. Wide fairways, great variety of holes, and beautifully maintained. You would score better if the greens weren't so tricky. They're in great shape, but lots of subtleties in them makes you happy to two putt. It's well worth the $80 GolfNow price I paid.

Great Maui Course!!!

This is a great course with plenty of challenge... if you can keep your concentration off the spectacular views. The greens are in great shape and take some real interpretation to avoid the 3-putts.

It's Maui!

My wife drove the cart & kept score but got bored by hole #9, which is very unusual for her. She found one of the three men I played with to be very rude, so she gave up and returned to the bar while I played the back nine. I enjoyed the game. Tom was a great partner to ride along with. Aloha!!~

Better then I thought it would be

The course was in good shape. The greens we in great shape. I should have played the blue tees as the course was playing to short from the whites. The course is a great value thru GolfNow and a great place for couples to play.

Fun and beautiful

We had a great time playing golf on the Old Blue. Fairway is very wide and beautiful. Very well maintained course. Several holes have spectacular view of the ocean. The sand in the sand bunker is hard and more compacted so you have to hit differently. I think all bunkers need more sand.

Long holes, but wide fare ways which gives room for errors, but still challenging

Love to play this course, challenging but not to the point of taking the fun of playing. Course is always in great shape, the staff is friendly and helpful . The cost is on the higher range but you get all the top end services and emanates.

First Time Playing

A must play when you visit Maui !

My wife and brother played the Old Blue in April this year (2013) and we all enjoyed the course very much. It was in superb playing condition and the greens were running at about 12 on the stimpmeter which is the way we like it. Stunning views of the ocean, perfect weather and a solid track with no homes to worry about , wide open fairways yet challenging with trees , bunkers and layout of the holes such that an errant approach shot could leave you on the wrong side of a pin with no hope of an up and down for par so a wonderful course to play. We didn't want it to end. We topped the day off with a fantastic dinner at Gannon's just down the road at one of the sister course, the Emerald. We will be back :)

Again, great views

Well designed to work with the trade winds. Course winds through several tunnels and over bridges for an interesting drive. Enjoy the surroundings and forget about not making any putts. It will be a day of 3 putts. A beautiful course with no reason to complain, unless you are a natural complainer.

Great resort couse

Great course for 9-25 handicap. Beautiful course, scenic views and gorgeous landscaping. Lot of very open fairways. I'm a 12, easy reach second shot par 4's from the white tees. Low handicap definitely play blue tees. Too many 3 putts!! Greens are large, contoured, and down grain putts very fast, easy to go 10 feet by. Read grain on every putt... Fun par 3's, including 18.

Very straight forward older resort course in great condition. Pretty short, and wide fairways, the challenge is on and around the greens. Read the grain!

I will play there again. If it is windy it is very hard to read as it swirls around. Mulligan's pub afterwards is fun with great entertainment.

This course has wide and well kept fairways. Greens are nice.

The course winds through condos and homes in the Wailea area. Fairways are wide so the homes don't come into play. Several holes have scenic views of the ocean. Much different than the other Wailea courses but a treat to play as well.

Our favorite course in Hawaii

Old Blue is our favorite course in Hawaii. I play with my husband who is 68 years old and has a 12 handicap. It is always wonderfully groomed and the design is old school. No tortured ground or blind, tricky shots. Just beautiful Hawaiian landscape. The fairways are wide and the greens are challenging. The carts are equipped with GPS and water is available at several locations. Value for the money is good when compared to most of the courses on Maui, but I can't bring myself to call it "great" which was the only other option that Golf Now gave me.

Decent course with nice staff and some interesting holes.

Great views of the ocean and surrounding islands from nearly every hole on the course. Greens are okay, and fairways are decent. But not like a true resort course. Overall, fun day on a fun course, but nothing to write home about.

One Great Course

A fantastic course overall, the layout throughout the residential areas was well thought out. Breathtaking views of the ocean from many of the holes, beautifly trees lining the fairways make this course a memorable one. Definatly a course that should be put onto everyones golf list. The staff are exceptional and friendly.
One great experience :)
