The Dunes always deliver to better golfers!

The course was in great shape, as usual, with only one green on the back nine that wasn’t ideal. Otherwise, greens, fairways & really everything is in fabulous condition! In spite of playing on a busy Sunday, the pace of play was quite good - with our 3-some finishing in 4hr & 20min. Maui Lani is a very interesting, challenging course – more suited for better golfers than high handicappers and the occasional golfing tourist. There are many blind approach shots to greens, many long, steeply sloped, uphill holes, and the greens themselves are difficult with both slope and plenty of undulation. It’s a fantastic course for golfers with a 15 handicap or less, but could possibly be too challenging, or even frustrating for most amateur golfers. The Dunes are lways worth it for the overall experience, and the unique views of the Iao Valley in the background!.

Best course in Maui

Wow what an amazing course. I played several others on the Island that were much more expensive and higher rated, but this one beats them by a mile. Very challenging. But incredible course. Pace was very fast.

Fun and Challenging Course

Overall this is an interesting course with lots of elevation changes and many holes that require strategic shot selection. Fairways are in good condition, greens are in excellent condition and very consistent. A great value and we finished in 4 hours! Will definitely be back.

Hidden Gem of Maui

I was on vacation in Maui and brought my sticks with me. Asking around and doing some research, this course definitely is affordable for the average cost of golfing on the island, the course layout was pretty fun with amazing views on both the front and back 9, and the course conditions was in good shape. The golf carts are in good condition as well!

You get a free yardage book and helps with choosing the right club along with your rangefinder. Staff was very friendly and really enjoyed my time here. Would definitely recommend golfing here if visiting. Also, the restaurant was very nice with an amazing view of 18th hole.

Perfection in paradise!

I'm visiting and wanted to golf a few times on Maui and this was a course recommended by a friend. I got a great set of rentals and was partnered with a friendly and enjoyable local partner. The course was beautifully maintained and the weather was perfect - sunny, low 80s and no wind! I couldn't have asked for a better day of golf and plan to return when I visit again in the future. I got a great price on GolfNow, so keep those hot deals coming!

Rude Staff

Played 8 holes today. My pregnant wife was riding with me and started to feel a little under the weather. She wanted to leave so we headed in. When I turned in the cart, I told the pro shop what happened and asked if I could get a rain check for 9 holes. The guy at the pro shop said “you knew your wife was pregnant when you came out so we can’t give you any refund or rain check.” I was taken aback. Worst customer service I’ve ever encountered. Every other course I’ve played on Maui has been wonderful. I will be avoiding the Dunes for the foreseeable future and encourage others to take their business elsewhere.

It was okay.

Pace of play was okay. Staff was okay. Golf cart was not okay. Restaurant was good. Practice facility was very good. Course layout was okay, a lot of blind tee shots. The Nene geese on the course were cute. Over all it was okay.

Dunes?

No dunes here but certainly a pretty good course with some "entertaing" holes. Greens are in good shape and the fairways are better than they were last year. Some bunkers need more sand. It would be good to play it more than once as there are many holes that are blind second and even first shots and require management. No bombs away on quite a few holes.
