Course condition improving

Course received a lot of damage from recent storm but is well on the way to getting back in shape. Still some washed out areas and debris on the course. Was an extremely windy morning and made play challenging. This really took a lot of the enjoyment out of the round. Staff are very nice and helpful.

We should have paid the same price as locals due to the very poor conditions on the green. We come here every year not sure we'd come back.

Nice place. Poor greens

The course layout is interesting. I was scared to have a lot of blind shots as the course is in the mountain. It's not the case. Course is fair. It was windy though and that was challenging when having the wind into our faces,

I would play this course again but I would ask if the greens are in good shape before going back. Greens had a lot of spots filled with sand. Putts were going all over the place. Even a footer changed direction twice.

So if you want to play a nice layout with nice views of Maui, it's the place to go.
If your score is more important than anything else. Maybe you should wait for the greens to be in better shape cause you'll loose a lot of shots on them.

Course Needs Work

Both the greens and fairways were in poor condition. The 9th fairway had been completely plugged from tee to green. No drinking water on the course and no ball washers on the course or on the carts. Won't play here again.

Aloha and thank you for taking the time to give us feedback on your round. Currently, we are in the process of aerating our fairways. This process is necessary to ensure the turf receives oxygen, water, and nutrients. We apologize for the inconvenience as you played shortly after the procedure. Once the cores dry, we sweep them up and then it looks and plays much better. Though we do not have water on the course, we supply water coolers in the staging areas, a snack shop, and coolers on each cart. If this information was not relayed to you, we apologize. We hope to see you again in the future after our maintenance procedures are completed.
Mahalo!

Aloha and thank you for playing with us at the Kahili Golf Course. We are glad to hear the pro shop service was good and that the fairways were nice as well. In regards to the greens, we are preparing for our aeration process by eliminating unwanted grasses from the greens using an herbicide. This process presents discoloration. We are topdressing and fertilizing to make sure they are improving and will roll smoothly. We look forward to you coming back once our maintenance processes are complete. Mahalo!

Nice track!!

Everything was great. Very windy conditions when we played. Customer service was top notch except for the guy behind the counter. Our cart began to die on the 15th hole and we ended up pushing it in. I thought he would do something for us, but his only reply was "you should have called us". Um, maybe some people don't carry phones.

Excellent Choice!

We had an excellent day! We were met at the parking lot with a cart. Bags were placed on the cart. Two wet towels and a cooler full of ice were on the cart for us to use. Check in was easy. The course was nearly empty. Nobody until 3 holes in front of us and nobody behind us. It was one of the most relaxing rounds of golf we've ever played. Course was dry. Greens were spotty, but true. No ball washers on any of the holes. Excellent course, excellent deal through Golf Now!

Course was ok. Greens were awful, dead spots everywhere. Glad I only paid $40 online. Stopped after 9 and grabbed a turkey sandwich and it was also awful.

Greens are under repair

Great course with great mountain and ocean views. They have an issue with the greens and they have cut the bad spots out and filled them in. They look bad but actually putt fine. I'm sure it's a temporary thing and they will be bact to normal soon.
Still worth playing!

Essence of golf in Maui

Teed off around 10:30am.
- stiff winds 20-30 mph all afternoon
- hilly golf course
- great views of Maalea harbor
- speedy down hill putts

Don't get me wrong, just stating factual stuff. This is why we play here!

A Nice Round of Golf

Visiting Maui on vacation so this is the first time playing the course. The staff was very friendly and helpful, starting times were on time and not too crowded. I played in the morning around 8AM and pace of play was very good (3.5Hours). the course layout is really nice and play is challenging from the blue tee's, the course was in good condition except for the greens were pretty rough other then that I highly recommend the course if you are visiting the island!

Used To Love It

But they started screwing anybody who doesn't happen to have a Hawaiian Drivers License. We spend two months a year here, own two properties and pay a ton of property and sales tax to the great state of Hawaii. But Kahili has decided to charge anybody without permanent residency twice or more the going rate. $39 for residents and $105 for the rest of us leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. I'm done with Kahili and its ferocious winds.

Aloha Vrob2. We are sorry to hear about your displeasure with our Kama’aina policy. Our policy reflects that of many Kama’aina rate requirements (whereby we require either a HI Driver’s License or government issued HI State ID). We have however rolled out a number of rate programs that provide tremendous value for our “Malihini” friends without a Hawaii ID. For example we are dynamically pricing rates on KahiliGolf.com (or you can call us at 808.242.4653). Our best available rates on our website for Malihini/Visitors actually vary based upon demand. Searches this month revealed rates ranging from $69-$95 depending on the day of the week and time of day. Additionally we now have a Malihini “Ali’i Card” you can purchase with offers as low as $25 (9 holes after 3pm) to $85 (May 1- Sept 30 prior to 11am). Check out KahiliGolf.com for details on our Best Available rates and new Ali’i Card. We hope this info is helpful. We would love to see you back at Kahili again soon! Mahalo

Aloha and thank you for taking the time to review Kahili Golf Course. We are happy you enjoyed the layout. We are aware of the spots on the greens. Our new agronomist is purposely eradicating invasive grasses in preparation for the aeration process next week. This is a proactive measure to ensure our greens reach the high standards we all expect. Mahalo nui loa and we look forward to seeing you at Kahili again soon!

Great value

Entire round was excellent, pace of play was awesome as we finished in under 3.5hours. Staff on course, club house, check in and restaurant were 10 out of 10!! Greens on a few holes could use a little TLC. I would recommend this track to anyone regardless of skill as tee boxes are stationed very well

Great Affordable Maui courae

This is one of our favorites to play in Maui. The course is fun with a lot of variation. The greens, however, were not in the best shape this time around. Fairways were fantastic. Great course for the money!! Go play!

Nice challenging course in paradise

Great layout and in great shape. Wind makes it interesting with elevation changes on many holes. Club selection and avoiding trouble are critical. Bunkers were sometimes hard pack or gritty. Pace of play bogged down a couple of times so stay loose! Hot deal non-resident at $50/round is excellent value.

Beautiful Course with Great Views

A very beautiful course with views on most holes. Fairway conditions extremely good. Greens are where the challenge is as most are elevated, protected, and lightning fast.
In cart GPS with flyover and strategic suggestions on how to approach each hole.
Looking forward to playing again on my next trip to Maui.
