Pukalani Country Club has a unique location at the 1,100-foot elevation of the famous Mount Haleakala, an extinct volcano whose name means “House of the Rising Sun.” The dramatic elevation offers breathtaking views that span the West Maui Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. The golf course features wide, undulating fairways and fast, sloped greens. The gently rolling terrain can cause some tricky uneven lies. There are trees and well placed bunkers scattered throughout to provide further challenge. Pukalani Country Club has a unique feature on the par-3 third hole. The hole gives golfers the options of hitting to one of two very different greens, one which requires a tee shot over a tree-filled gully and another that requires a shot beyond a cliff to a pal tree-lined green.

Great value

Challenging course in great condition. Views of the island are outstanding. Lots of elevation changes that make the course layout interesting and more difficult to play. The best value for your money on the island hands down!

Laid-back Upcountry

Golf course is in great condition. You can get great value for money at Pukalani. Ask about the 1 week Aloha pass. Respect for locals goes a long way.

There is no course Marshall telling you to hurry up. So if you are use to that, Pukalani may not be for you, but if you just want to play some island golf… there are some great holes including canyons, double coast vistas and a challenging uphill finish. Sand is consistent as are greens and fairways are lush and resilient.

Advice play early and on weekdays - leave the late afternoon times to locals and families.

Value

The course was in the best shape we’ve ever seen it. Very challenging layout. Greens were in very good shape. Nice elevation changes. There is no other course in all of Hawaii that has as good value for the cost of green fees. Very inexpensive! Don’t change please! Been golfing here for many years.

Where’s The Pin?

Why would pins be removed well before carts are due in?? We were told a 3:40 start shouldn’t expect to finish yet it was 5:45 and pins were removed. We had finished 9 and told we could do 10 and 18 and that we never should have expected to get 18 in. We were just 2 golfers, we don’t mess around and would have liked the chance to play the full 18 as that is what we paid for.

Good course - rental clubs need some help

Enjoyed the course. Greens were in good shape as were fairways etc. Rental clubs were OK except the bags were torn which meant you couldn’t use some of the slots. Men’s set had 12 clubs for $45. Ladies set had 10 clubs for $45.

Great day of golf.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day of golf at Pukalana . Is it a country club? No. Was it a great place to play golf? Yes price is right. Conditions were very good. Typical Hawaiian golf course uphill downhill tree lined fairways wide, friendly to tourists and we had a really good time. Pace of play was 4 hours. I would go back even though it is a bit out of the way. Beautiful views.
Snack bar had the BEST cheeseburger in HI.

Fivesome

They let a fivesome go in front of us at 11:27 am. A fivesome of slow lousy players. Not fun when it’s hot out.
