You would think that a world renowned resort course would put a few tees in the cart, spring for a water bottle or two ( like every other course in Hawaii), but no. Plus no alcohol on the course, only fair course conditions. Looks like they don’t change pin positions daily either. Sum total is: find somewhere else to play even if it costs more. These bozos don’t seem to care one way or the other.

Worth it!

My husband and I got paired up with 2others, one being a regular so it helped us get around easier. Course might have a few more sand traps than we’re use to but otherwise not too difficult. Pretty open fairways. Course was in great condition and with some awesome views! We even got a bucket of balls included to play before our tee time! Everyone was real friendly and professional. We hope to golf there again 1-2 times before we have to leave. We also rented clubs.

Worth it

Was able to park in the lot. When we got checked in we also each got a small bucket of balls for the range that we had time for luckily. We were paired up with a regular which was nice for where the first hole was located especially. Beautiful views of the ocean and homes and flora. Course is pretty open and with average (to more?) sand traps. Costs more than we’re used to but worth it in Hawaii! We rented clubs and they were
Callaway and very nice. Would play again!

Great course but too expensive for visitors

Why do visitors to maui pay almost double to what locals pay? Not fair!

Solid

Good course, greens slower than expected. Layout is fair, weird beverage policy. Good views, all and all solid for the price (depending what you pay). Look online, might be more worth it for less ching.

Great vistas, and good value for the money

Played for the first time yesterday, and a slow Sunday afternoon was the ticket for us. Course was in very good condition, nice open fairways, and beautiful visitors are. A very good value by Hawaii standards.

Good course in good shape but overpriced because it is in maui. Like to see some golf packages such as $100 a round for booking 3 rounds or more
