These have to be some of the best views I’ve ever seen on a golf course. If you ever get the chance to play this gem, you absolutely have to. Words really can’t describe the views you’ll experience out here. My father and I were fortunate enough to book a tee time on short notice, and I’m extremely glad I got to experience this course with him. This is truly a once in a lifetime, bucket list type of course. Golfers of all skill levels can play this course. Yes, I know the PGA pros make it look a lot easier than it is. This track is very generous off the tee and on the greens. Just be prepared for the wind, especially on a windy day, as the gusts can blow extremely hard and definitely add another challenge to the round. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, and there’s even a cart girl out on the course, which is always a nice touch. I couldn’t tell you what I shot, but honestly, it didn’t matter. When you’re surrounded by views like these, the scorecard is the last thing on your mind. This is by far my favorite golf course I’ve ever played. An unforgettable experience and one I’ll be talking about for a long time. 10/10
One of the prettiest golf courses! I've been blessed to play Torrey Pines South and just recently TPC of Scottsdale Stadium Course. Kapalua Plantation Course is by far one of the best golf courses I've played. I enjoyed playing Kapalua before the drought in 2024. It sounds like you've made a full recovery and I hope so. The ocean views are spectacular. Immaculate course, challenging holes and a friendly staff made this a memorable golf trip. From Indianapolis Indiana.
This course was awesome. Conditions were immaculate. Views were superb. Pace of play was never an issue. However, you'd think, for the amount a person put out to play it, the experience wouldn't be dulled by rogue carts. The cart routinely stopped and forced me to back up. The screen said the geo fences were 50 yards from greens, but it routinely stopped well before that in the most insane spots.
After I played golf at Manele in Lanai, I found this course rather disappointing. It couldn't be helped. The layout was very challenging, which was very interesting, but so many holes were overlapped, which means many holes were confronted, so very distracting.
I was originally hesitant to play based on the price tag but once i arrived had ZERO regrets. It is a one of a kind experience between the views, conditions, layout and overall play. If you go to Maui and enjoy golf then you must. Outside the club house was a rainbow. Yea they have their own rainbows.
