Great Fun!

The Dunes is really fun local course perfect for the vacationing social golfer. Really great for ladies with many par-able holes. Gorgeous vistas and excellent conditions. Can’t wait to play again when visiting Maui next year.

Fun course. Big elevation changes on nearly every hole.

If you like a flat course, this is not it. You're playing on the side of a mountain, so every hole plays uphill or downhill...and every green seems to have 3 clubs of elevation. This makes it tons of fun to play. It also makes the par 4s feel like par 5s. I've enjoyed playing this course multiple times over the years. It's always my first choice when visiting Maui.

Good course but challenging

The staff and course conditions were excellent. The layout is beautiful but challenging. “Dunes” is appropriate. You better be good at getting out of the sand because there is a ton of it. In many cases they are deep and over your head. All in all, I would play it again but lower my scoring expectations. Only bad thing was our cart. Wasn’t sure it would make it through the round. When you would step on the gas, there would be a substantial delay before it would start and if you were on a hill, it would roll backwards for a while before it would start. Dangerous, especially if there was another person/cart behind you.

Beautiful course!

We loved the course. It is beautiful and well kept. The staff in the pro shop were very friendly as was the starter. Was disappointed they didn't have any gatorade but other than that it was a great day!

Montains golf course

We played the course 2 times. Sunday the greens of the course were very to slow maybe the weekend nobody works on the course. Monday the course was ok, the greens were cut.
It is a beautiful golf course but very difficult to putt!
The staff was very friendly and we enjoyed our 2 days there

Great Course for the Money

This course was better than expected. Upon arrival the starter greeted us and assigned our cart; we loaded our own bags and were directed to the practice area and told we would get out as soon as we were able. The pro shop is small but had some nice items and some good deals as well. We were informed right away that there was no Beverage cart service out on the course and although this is a negative to this particular location we were at least prepared. Once on the course the conditions were very good, nice greens fairways were nicely kept. There were a few holes max 4 that had some damage to the greens but you could tell the. Superintendent tried to put hole locations away from damaged areas. The layout for the course offered some high risk high reward options from the tee which made it fun to try and “go for it” the value was great if you purchase a HOT rate at 89.99 and honestly I’d pay 100 to play here again.

Great course, with good staff, in very nice condition; limited practice facility and no Bev cart give it a 3.8 for me.

Tee it up and let it fly at the Dunes!
