The Dunes At Maui Lani Golf Course

I am an assistant superintendent in CA. This is the WORST COURSE ive ever played in 26 years of playing golf. Staff was nice, but half the course was temporary, the rest was in horrible shape. Disregard all other reviews, I WOULD BE FIRED BEFORE LUNCHTIME if my course was neglected this way. Especially for being in Maui where the season is 365/year perfect weather. CLOSE THIS DUMP DOWN!

The course is in fine condition, always a challenge!

This is a nice course to play while on Maui that doesn’t break the bank.

The course condition was great. The green was slow. The front 9 holes were fun to play but back 9 holes were challenging.

Course is in good shape. Greens were shaggy but I get it. You can’t let groups of five play and think it’ll be ok. We had two fivesomes in front of us and the round took >4.5 hours. I get they were local but it’s an easy thing to manage.

Love the layout and I know you’re working on Green i’m sure once fully grown and they’re gonna be spectacular

Solid course, need to play a couple of times to get the layout. Some blind shots

Natural flowing layout into the dunes and trees. Poor man’s Princeville with similar blind shots and tricky greens. Staff was very friendly and we had a great day. Thanks to all the staff both inside and out.

We golfed at 2:20 in the afternoon. At time of check in. No one indicated we would not be able to go for full round. We were told we’d have to have the card in at 6:15. When we got on the golf course there was a number of groups, larger than four and piece of play was slow due to large groups. When we completed whole 11 of course, employee pulled up and told us that we’d have to jump three holes ahead because they were closing down the course. In moving three holes ahead, we were still jumping into or between two groups in order to finish. We were only able to play 15 holes.

A very nice golf course with lots of beautiful foliage .
Fun!

Maui Dines continues to be a hidden gem with a fascinating layout of interesting and challenging holes. By far the best value on Maui. Very good course conditions overall. Pace of play was great on the front nine, slowed down a little on the back. Old school gas carts are a minor negative.

Course was in excellent condition, for the most part, with a few greens having some “bald” patches. It pays to play the course a few times because some of the holes are not obvious from the tee. There are 15 or 16 really good holes and 2 or 3 which seemingly had to be fitted in to the geography provided (like #11). Surprisingly tight on a few holes and the wind is certainly a factor, which is pretty much always the case in Hawaii. Gas carts, which I haven’t seen in some time. Also, both seed bottles on my cart were completely empty, with no obvious filling stations evident on the course. All in all, a very nice public course that I would play again.

My wife and played at 3ish this past Saturday. Great course with lots of rolling hills. Really enjoyed it. Pace was very good considering we were a twosome. Greens were very nice albeit slower than what we are used to. Great value!

The Dunes is arguably as challenging as any course on Maui. Holes 1-3 offer a gentle start that builds to a very difficult stretch of holes
8-12 before turning mostly downwind back to the clubhouse. This public facility does a nice job staying current with maintenance, yet has limitations and some imperfections.
More suitable for experienced players than beginners. Bogey golfers will typically need a couple of sleeves of balls.
