About Kaanapali Kai Golf Course
Kaanapali Kai Golf Course is an 18-hole, par-70 championship golf course located in Kaanapali, Lahaina, on the island of Maui, Hawaii. Measuring 6,388 yards, the course offers an enjoyable golf experience for players of varying skill levels.
Originally designed by Arthur Jack Snyder in 1976 and later renovated by acclaimed Hawaii golf course architect Robin Nelson, Kaanapali Kai features gently rolling fairways, undulating greens, and a more forgiving layout than many championship resort courses.
The course winds through beautiful tropical landscaping with coconut palms, Norfolk pines, hibiscus, plumeria, and bougainvillea. Natural canals, lava rock boundaries, and strategically placed hazards create an interesting and memorable round.
Golfers can enjoy panoramic views of the West Maui Mountains, Pacific Ocean, and neighboring islands of Molokai and Lanai. During winter months, humpback whales may also be visible offshore.
Kaanapali Kai gained national recognition when it hosted the television competition Big Break Kaanapali in 2008.
With its scenic setting, enjoyable layout, and convenient location in the Kaanapali resort area, Kaanapali Kai is an excellent choice for golfers planning a Maui golf vacation.
No booking fees. Golf rates are per person. Club rentals may be available for an additional fee.
