First round of my Maui trip this year started at a course that has always interested me. The Dunes at Maui Lani. A course completely unconnected to any resort that has good ratings, and recently people on other sites were saying the challenge is real and the deal is worth it. (Always go where the locals go)

My father-in-law and I rode the greens (71.7/135) in just under 3 1/2 hours. Had the entire course to ourselves and paid 92 dollars on the hot deal which basically ran all day as long as you pre-paid. Started with a little wind and rain, and finished with some humidity with a slight breeze. Shout out to the customer service, excellent all around. Course workers all over the place but not where we were, ever.

The course is a not as scenic as others on Maui but still provides few great views of the oceans and mountains. The tee boxes were just about perfect 9/10. The fairways ranked a 9/10 as well, really well maintained fairways. The rough was good no issues there. The sand, well that is the only real ding here, not much of any sand mostly red clay some of which had been softened but with the enormous amount of wind this course gets thats the way it goes. The greens are perfectly rolled a little slow as they must have watered in the morning before we played.

The Dunes at Maui Lani is a challenging course that is totally underrated in my opinion, some really fun holes and some basic holes, but all in all I would play here again, and again. The deal is so good to pass up and the service was excellent. Should you ever find yourself on this side of the world and want to save some dough and still be challenged, this is the place. Highly recommended.
