Royal Kā’anapali Golf Course

2290 Kaanapali Pkwy, Lahaina, Hawaii 96761 United States

-°C Today, Forecast: -

The Royal Ka’anapali Course is one of only two courses in all of Hawaii designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. The architect took advantage of the rolling landscape to create gently sloping fairways and large contoured greens to ensure a challenging approach to each hole. Stretching 6,700 yards, this par 71 course will challenge your club selection and putting skills. The Royal Ka’anapali Course begins at sea level with a par 5 hole extending 550 yards. The course hugs the shoreline before winding its way to the West Maui Mountain foothills. Arnold Palmer called the 18th hole (par 4) one of the best and most challenging finishing holes he’d ever played. The 449-yard hole plays longer than it looks, hugging the brackish water canal the entire length of the fairway and green, making it a memorable last hole.

You become a part of this beautiful history as you make your way around our playground. Breathtaking views from our sloping vistas reveal the islands of Lanai and Molokai in the distance. The tropical tradewinds will keep you cool during your round, and rainbows you will see remind you that our home is a special place. As you journey through the Royal Course, notice the historical plaques on each tee, sharing our history and stories of Kā’anapali. The course will take you Makai (Oceanside) and then bring you into the West Maui Mountain foothills (Mauka) with stunning panoramic views.

People walking, joggers and walking pets constantly on the cart paths or “ in play” if you are not a good golfer. Would not play again for the price . The staff was fantastic. Condition of the coarse was great. However, I felt like there was a gallery on half the course with all the people. I had to re-think several club selections to ensure I wouldn’t bring the people into play. Also, there are several holes where condos or houses are definitely in play if it’s slightly windy. Signs are posted stating that the golfer is responsible for any damages. If you are a new golfer, DO NOT PLAY HERE. Also, please don’t be a 30 handicap and schedule an early tee time. You’re pace of play will dictate the entire day for pace. I’m a 5-8 handicap player. Hope this review helps.

First round was on the Royal. Super Bowl Sunday Very few on course. I was a single. As I approached 8 a threesome dove past nine tee onto middle of nine fairway and proceeded to play. They never let me through even though on every tee I drove up to tee as they were teeing off. They appeared to be local residents. Next I played the Kia and had a 2:00 tee time. No where when I made the tee time did it say course closed at 6:15. And the lady at check in said it’s twilight rate so of course you won’t finish. Correct twilight so why close course when sun is still bright and shining. Why doesn’t get dark until seven. So now I have to hope it moves steadily. But of course it doesn’t and no such thing as a Marshall to keep players moving. I won’t be back and will not recommend

Great course but we are on vacation and they do not sell beer, wine or cocktails on the course. I would have given it a higher rating if the drink carts served alcohol refreshments!

Course was in bad shape. Pro shop didn’t have our tee-time and told me I need to read their website better and book direct in future! Will never play again!

The golf was great, but my wife was walking on the boardwalk by the beach in back of the #5 green and was struck by a golf ball on her leg, it caused a big gaping wound, required stitches and an ER visit all the way on the other side of the island. When I called the pro shop they cited pedestrians beware near a golf course. Would like some compensation for her wound. BTW there are no warning signs on the foot path.

Lovely (if dated) facilities. Bunkers were mostly washed out, otherwise the course was beautiful.
