not the fanciest course, but it sure is a nice place to spend a day, and if you are not the best golfer, it is a little less challenging than say, Kapalua, and a bit less expensive!

For all the golf my wife and I have played on Maui, the Kaanapali Golf Course (Kai) provided the worst value. Sure, golf is expensive on the island - but this course provided very little value for the money!

A dream come true to golf in Maui and Ka'annapali Royal doesn't disappoint. Not punishing but a challenging choice of holes and club selection. The views from the back 9 make us realize how blessed we are.

I'm an ok golfer, play off 18 so not great but Ok. I found these courses frustatingly easy, they totally lacked any real challenges. Fairways were straight and wide, greens flat, simply too easy.

For the price, I expected better. Paid $150 for 9 holes. Course in decent shape, but the general layout is simple. Tons of wind also makes playing no fun. I am a 8 handicap...so I know how to play in all kinds of weather and courses.

We had our first trip to Hawaii with a week in Maui. Kaanapali Royal and Kai were excellent starts to get used to island golf. Putts all lead to the ocean! Ladies forward tees were very fair. Big Break Kaanapali was played here after extensive renovations.

Nice short course. It had some nice views of the mountains and water. We teed off early (2nd group) and finished in a little over 3 hrs.

The courses were way overpriced and not memorable by any means.

Liked that it was close to our Hotel. Better golf courses at better prices else where on the island and on Lani.
