    Amazing views -- back nine.

    Love this course. Definitely will give one a challenge with the rolling hills and difficult grasses. I played the resort tees -- and they were just long enough for challenge but not insane. I rented great clubs -- which made the round doubly enjoyable. Starter is so nice and friendly too!

    What was once a fun resort course that was well taken care of, is now a dead wasteland. These photos say it all and they're still charging full price. Unbelievable. Updating my review. Unfortunately, the Plantation course has suffered the same fate. This photo is from the restaurant (which is great BTW). I spoke with a golfer in the parking lot. He was so mad. Couldn't stop the ball on the greens and couldnt read the greens when putting. He said he got $60 off but that he wouldn't play again even if it were free.

    Just played the Bay course in May 2025. The course is a bit hilly, but I enjoyed the layout and the scenery. Pace of play and the practice range was good. I think the course will be shut down this year to start the teardown and redesign of all 18 holes. if you can play before they close, I would highly recommend. The pro shop was very courteous but not to informative. Keep in mind the wind in Kapalua is outrageous but fun to play in.

    A beautiful course just like you see on TV. It is definitely a must when you're a golfer and in Maui. $485 for a round per person at the plantation course. Totally Worth it. The greens are maintained nicely and the course is very challenging. Not for a beginner or someone who just want to try playing golf for the first time. The pro shop staff were nice and helpful. Nice merchandise.... Pricey but nice! The restaurant is a good place as well to have lunch. Definitely recommended!

    Played the Bay course. Last time I played it in 1992......boy have things changed. Like a muni. Staff was friendly. Range was torn up, not much grass. I could not believe the horrible condition. Grass was in poor shape and greens were grainy and uneven. Very disappointed, as we played Wailea Gold the day before and it was like playing Pebble Beach and a muni in Muncie Indiana. $200 for a round and the locals bragged they payed $50. Felt we got a bad deal. Could not believe the horrible conditions. The views were good but not anywhere near the Wailea Gold course. Would not go back. Only reason I gave it 2 stars is the amazing Philippino guy who worked downstairs in the caddy area. Very nice. No real water or amenities on the course . Very disappointed.

    This is one of the most beautiful and amazing golf courses I've been to! At one point you hit the ball over the ocean. Incredible. Absolutely incredible.

    An adventure at Kapalua GC!

    What a magnificent setting for a golf course! The pro shop is well stocked with all kinds of choices for men and women.. hats, shirts, women's fashion apparel, and golf equipment. Staff in the shop and at the carts was friendly and welcoming. Be sure to pick up Kapalua tees and ball markers before you go to the range. Every golf hole is a picture! The fairways and greens were well kept. We played in the morning, hoping the wind would be calmer, but by the back nine, the wind was howling. Not sure you can do anything about that but enjoy it and bring lots of balls! The restaurant across from the pro shop is a great place to finish up with a sandwich and a beer!

    Played Bay and Plantation. Have to say I was disappointed with the conditions. I get aeration. I live with it all summer in Seattle, but there were so many uneven greens. Overall the treatment at Plantation was much better. Attentive staff and good guidance on the course. Day 2 at Bay was like a muni. No amenities and just a patchwork course that had you chasing signs. Of course the views were beautiful, but aren't they all on the island? Wish I had spread out my golf and tried another company...oh well. I still played golf in paradise for a weekend.

    Incredible West Maui and MolokaI vistas

    Super expensive, dried out and employees that don't care about customers. There are many better places that are half the price to play

    Challenging, and beautiful. Being a golfer it's worth the money to play there. Budget it into your trip. $$$.

    Great course but zero on course ranger presence. Every hole is a wait ... we have 4 groups on #6! Can't the management speed things up ...?

    Pulled up and bag drop was there and just took our bags. Lots of room for improvement. We have been…read moreto places like Paiute GC in Las Vegas and the bag drop makes you feel like you are a pro. A good morning and welcome to the GC is better than what we got. Not to be harsh, just comparing for the review. Hence 4star too instead of 5. Layout of the course is great. Elevation changes etc. Holes are undulated. Pro shop attendants were nice and attentive. Sherry and Elaine were great. Golf carts are newish. Electric. With GPS. The pins were not updated in the gps. I have been to cheaper courses that had this done properly. So not sure what happened there. So that added to the 4star rating as well. Driving range is good for all clubs. But they make you walk over there. About 100 yards. Then you get a small basket of about 25 balls. It is complimentary and enough to warm up. Plus there were extra from other golfers where they didn't hit all of the balls. There were about 8 mats if I remember correctly. We did not wait at all to hit. Starter was good. Golf course condition was amazing considering two huge storms just came through. Cannot believe they got this place cleaned up that quickly. We only were cart path only on 3 holes. And those holes looked fine. Probably too soft. Cooler on the cart was filled with ice and two complimentary bottled waters. So the bag drop redeem themselves a little. We appreciated it. There is a drink cart. And she came around at least twice in our round. So that is great. There are no direction signs on a couple holes. Like going to 16, there is a message, but we did not know which side of the street. I think hole 6 was the other one. There are ball cleaners/trash cans, and water stations. That was great. Did not see any ground under repair anywhere on the course. There were however more than a few sand traps that had mud in the bottom of the trap. Not the whole trap, just a 8-10' circle sometimes. We just moved the ball. So some traps need grooming. Others were groomed so they are obviously working it. I think thats it. This place is a 5 star GC. Just had a couple storms.

    They allow fivesomes on the course. Very slow play…read more Some greens at Poa grass. Disappointed for the price
