    Driving range and sofa.This is the FSR policy.

    This golf course is belongs to Four seasons Resorts Lanai.This course is built on lava outcroppings, designed by Jack Nicklaus. This signature course features three holes perched on cliffs, enlisting the Pacific Ocean as a water hazard. All the tee ground is faced with bushes or rocks or cliffs.This course has the five-tees, so normal golfers and competitive golfer play with equal status. This concept challenges the best golfers - tee shots over natural gorges and ravines must be precise. You can enjoy the blue ocean views form all the hole. The green was well kept and like velvet. Playing at this course will be your precious experiences. We played here at 2nd May. Tee time was 10:am by our decision, but at the finishing hole, it was little bit hot. I recommend you to start earlier. If you can get up early.

    Driving range

    All I have to say is WOW. We are staying at Sensei, but Melissa the pre-arrival specialist reached out to us to schedule activities for our week in Lana'i. We are so happy we booked half a round of golf at the beach resort. If you enjoy difficulty and scenic views, book the back 9. If you love sunsets, book the back 9 for sunset. Originally, we booked the front 9 on a Wednesdayfor 10am, but heard how amazing the back 9 was. We switched to the back 9 and so happy we did! A half round on a Wednesday morning is about $177. Transportation: Inter hotel transportation leaves from Sensei on the half hour to the beach resort and every hour from the beach resort to sensei. However, we asked to arrive early via the Tesla drivers, so we he could practice the driving range and the green. We brought our own balls and tees or you have to pay for balls (we brought 10- hello, hazards!) He rented clubs for about $55. The pro shop is great from complimentary snacks, coffee, to golf shoes, visors, hats and swag! Beverage cart- Beverage cart stays at the green . On the turn at 9, complimentary lemondes and you can buy alcohol - full stocked bar. The beverage cart has an assortment of beers, wines, liquor, cutwater, and juneshine. Jesse was working at the beverage cart and was stellar. He was extremely attentive and helpful! The service from check-in to finish is phenomenal. The course is open from Saturday-Sunday (closed on Mondays for maintenance.) Bobby, the assistant golf pro, was fantastic from getting the cart and clubs prepared to handing us a cold towel and a bag tag. Bring an appetite - Views is next door for lunch. I suggest making reservations. If you book the sunset back nine - try Nobu or one-forty for dinner reservations. At the end of the day, we couldn't recommend this course, ambience, views or the customer service any more. As a solely Sensei guest, next time we would like to make a day out of it. Play the back 9, bring a beach bag, lay out in the first-come first-serve beach chairs and then hike to sweetheart rock. Mahalo!

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

    The course? It's beautiful. Ocean views, solid layout, decent greens. No complaints there…read more But let's not pretend it's worth what they're charging. The Royal is overpriced. The Kai--par 70--same story. You're paying premium prices for a product that doesn't match it. And the bigger issue? The people. Inside staff--especially the older guy with glasses--complete super dick . Outside staff? Disengaged. Zero energy. Zero effort. Like they're doing you a favor just by being there. Only bright spots were the starter and the guy in the shack--everyone else looked like they checked out a long time ago. And that's the theme: they don't care. Cart service ran out of cups... came back later... still out of cups. That's not a mistake--that's a system that doesn't prioritize the customer. Look, it's Maui. The place sells itself. They know it. And because of that, they don't feel pressure to deliver anything beyond the basics. If you want real value? Go play the municipal course on the other side of the island--the one locals compare to Pebble Beach. Or better yet, play the Dunes. That's where the experience actually matches the expectation. Bottom line: incredible setting, average execution, and a complete miss on service. They'll keep making money. But if you care about how you're treated? This isn't it.

    We have been here 4 times now. The first few times were absolutely excellent! This last trip was…read morenot worth the expense. The communication with Sensei before and during our trip was terrible and pretty much non-existent. We stay at Four Seasons resorts often and never have I had an issue with communication like Sensei. The massage tables had cheap sheets that were scratchy; not what I would expect for a $700 massage. The room temperature never got below 70. The miso cod at the restaurant was extremely fishy tasting and not fresh. Pretty disappointing for such a pricy place.

    First time in Lana'i and I'm happy we decided to stay at Sensei between the two Four Seasons…read moreoptions as we needed some quiet mid-year R&R. We ended up staying in the Kaiholena Suite, and loved the balcony, bathrooms and living room with the games, very large screen TV, and comfy sitting areas for working and relaxing. I really liked the beautiful chess set which we made use of. The Sensei team was amazingly attentive, addressing all of our needs, and making us feel completely welcomed. Everyone from the front desk, masseuses, transportation, restaurant staff and everyone in between, we greatly appreciated their kindness and service. Special thanks to Elliott who assisted us with a minor thermostat issue in our room which was resolved without issue. Sensei by Nobu was a wonderful dinner with a relaxing ambiance and delicious entrees and desserts. We opted for a custom massage, snorkeling, and some hale time, well worth booking ahead of time, thanks to the wonderful Sensei experience team. Everything was seamless, from the transportation from Lana'i air to the resort, transportation to the snorkeling experience from the lobby, shuttle service to the other resort for dinner, to checking out and departing at the end of our stay. We loved the library and spent some time playing billiards and shuffle board. Some favorite things about Sensei vs the Four Seasons beach resort (based on my observations: -Slower pace overall -Mostly adults, no kids under 16 -Feels geared more towards relaxation and wellness experiences -Still have access to the beach resort via the shuttle that runs every hour -Feels more like a tropical hidden getaway Pros: Exceptional staff, gorgeous well kept garden and grounds, delicious restaurants and food options, beautiful suite, and seamless transportation. Cons: Having to leave.

We picked them up and had a great time using them at Kana'apalli Kai golf course. Jimmy even booked our tee off times too. We were pleased with the clubs and the service. Once we were done with the clubs, we just took them back to our hotel lobby to be picked up again. Value-wise - definitely cheaper than the rates at the golf course itself. Thank you, Jimmy - you're a true gentleman and you helped make our trip to Maui very memorable!

Positives: club rental price was a bargain compared to the course prices, Jimmy's storage unit was close to our condo in Kahana. Negatives: Jimmy doesn't have the best customer service attitude, his communication skills are subpar at best, and his clubs are pretty beat up. We had to continuously reach out to him to ensure the rental process was complete, we didn't receive the instructions to meet up with him after he refused to deliver the clubs 5 minutes down the street even though his website claims he'll deliver, and after all of the above he was sarcastic, condescending, and had the audacity to ask for a tip at the pickup. Needless to say, will not be renting again on future stays.
