Please provide water!

Overall we enjoyed the round but the 4 of us were dehydrated by the end. There are no water facilities provided at the club house or on the course. We saw the facilities cart once during the round and had to share two $5 bottles of water as there wasn't any more for sale. This isn't satisfactory for a golf course in Maui's climate.

Fun course with spectacular ocean views

Pro shop staff friendly.
Starters very friendly and helpfull
Tee boxes in good shape
Fairways were great
Greens were very smooth, consistent not overly fast, plenty of slope and grain.
Green side bunkers were pretty well maintained and quite consistent and playable- good thing because there’s a bunch of them and with strong winds playing with my golf ball, I hit a bunch of them

The front nine especially has gorgeous ocean views.
Pace of play wasn’t terrible but our fore some consistently were waiting on a twosome ahead of us who were painfully slow and I didn’t see anyone else slowing them down

Good resort course

Second time playing this course. Fairly recent since punching the greens so they were rough. Also the sand traps had been watered and were near,ly unplayable. Rest of course was fine

Great course for all skill levels

My fondest golf course memories come from Hawaii and this was no exception. Sweeping views of Ka’anapali and the course itself was in great condition. Not the longest course but plenty of challenging slopes and a couple of holes with water in play. First group out at 6:45am and the round was done in less than 4 hours. Highly recommend!

Nearly Perfect day on the Kai Course

My husband and I were paired with a lovely young couple from Kansas City. We enjoyed our round tremendously. Only glitch was that the GPS for both twosomes in our group was not working. It was a warm and windy June day and was literally raining bugs. They were landing.in our drinks and in my eye. We have always played in September and this has never been an issue before.
The staff were exquisitely helpful. Thank you Celeste and Michael.
