Kā‘anapali Kai Course

› A SHORTER, MORE FORGIVING LAYOUT

› BREATHTAKING VIEWS

› ORIGINALLY A SUGARCANE PLANTATION

Once the vacation place of the Royal Chiefs of Maui, it was the perfect escape for royalty who enjoyed many games including a form of lawn bowling using stones on what are now the fairways of the Kā‘anapali Kai Golf Course. The course is beautifully landscaped with native flowers along the trails like the hibiscus, bougainvillea and plumeria, as well as the Norfolk Pines and coconut trees that border many fairways. Along many holes lie natural canals, gulches and lava rock boundaries. Redesigned by Hawai‘i’s most prolific golf course architect, Robin Nelson, the course focuses on strategy—not necessarily distance or strength— which is why this course is enjoyed by both the beginner and avid golfer. Your journey begins oceanside, then takes you into the foothills of the West Maui Mountains, offering breathtaking views of the ocean and neighboring islands.
