Maui Golf Courses
Kahili Golf Course
Nestled in the foothills of West Maui Mountain, Kahili offers bi-coastal panoramas stretching across a vast valley with sea to summit views of Haleakala Volcano. This 18 hole, par-72 course was designed by Robin Nelson and Rodney Wright. With its hillside location you’ll find this course far away from resorts, residential spaces and highways with peace and serenity surrounding you. Kahili was voted best Golf value on Maui in 2017 by Golf Advisor. Visit their website: http://www.kahiligolf.com/
The Dunes at Maui Lani
The Dunes is the only golf course in Hawaii built on naturally occurring dune terrain. Architect Robin Nelson used the natural terrain for his 18-hole link-style course design with the desire to leave the ancient land unspoiled. The course was recognized by Golf Digest under “Best Kept Secret Golf Courses in America. Popular with locals and very reasonable pricing, it also has a lovely Café O’Lei restaurant on property.

Wailea Golf Club Emerald Course
This stunning 18-hole course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Junior complete with beautiful views and plenty of challenges. As noted on their website: “Designed to be fun for practically every player, the 6,825-yard Wailea Emerald Course was one reason Golf for Women Magazine first granted the Wailea Golf Club a Top Fairways Award for the country’s most women-friendly golf clubs, an honor that the Wailea Golf Club received seven times.” Visit their website at: https://www.waileagolf.com/wailea-emerald-maui-golf-course/
