Having moved the clubhouse on Nov 15, 2018 resulted in a new course layout such that you finish on the new 18th, which is the old 6th hole. You might know this hole as an unremarkable par 4 with a really big catch net along the road. Truly uninspiring as a finishing hole.

It's amazing how this decision affects one's desire to play the course and a true demonstration of the impact of proper golf course design/architecture.

Not my first loop through the Bay course, but I won't return as there are simply better courses on Maui to spend $200/round. Specifically go play the Gold course in Wailea.

Played this course 3 times in one week. The weather in Kapalua, where we were staying, was a bit showery so we followed the sun to Wailea. Great idea as we discovered the Gold course. Wonderful layout, great views, great staff.

We belong to a top golf course at home where the green fees are $250/round, so we (my wife and I) are familiar with what a good course looks like. The Gold course is right up there with the top courses on the mainland.

Came back for two additional rounds, and these were just as fun. Great views from most holes, and the condition of the course is top flight.

We played the Bay course in Kapalua and were really disappointed by the course condition and the stupid new hole layout following the recent relocation of the clubhouse (Nov 2018).

Have fun - you won't regret spending the $$ on this loop.

Played this course 4 times over the course of a week as my wife and I were in town for other business. Love the care the new owners show to both the customers and the maintenance of the course.

The only issue I encountered was the rather high cost of an additional 9 holes (19-27). Paid just over $50 for the fist 18 (with cart) and was charged $32 for the extra 9. Beware as I was not told it would be this expensive when I checked in with the pro shop between the end of 18 and the start of this extra 9.

Otherwise I really enjoyed the course and the staff.
