Kaanapali also offers packages, which you might want to consider, along with hotel services. In addition, you can bring your children who are seven years old and up to avail of exciting freebies! If you are traveling during the rainy season (April to October), we recommend bringing a rain jacket. Lastly, don’t forget your cameras because many beautiful sceneries are truly worth capturing.

When it comes to their facilities, the Pro Shop is fully stocked with a variety of golf items, including hats, sweaters, Hawaiian-designed t-shirts, and golf accessories that you can purchase. Hopefully, they will be on sale when you are there. And of course, club rentals are available here if you haven’t brought yours. The accommodating and friendly staff ensure to help you in any way they can, from checking-in to leaving the course.

Once you step foot on Kaanapali Kai Golf Course, you can see it is well-maintained. It’s landscaped with beautiful flowers, including Hibiscus and Bougainvillea. If you smell a sweet scent, that is probably Plumeria, which is also known as Lei flower that is usually used for the popular Hawaiian lei greetings. Moreover, the land where this course is located used to house a sugar cane plantation, so don’t be surprised if you see some Sugar Cane Train steam on many holes. Not to mention the awe-inspiring West Maui Coast views and its neighboring islands Molokai and Lanai. If you happen to book between November and April, chances are, you could spot humpback whales that migrated from the colder waters for breeding.

Though you are not allowed to walk, they have GPS available on their cart, so it makes it easier, especially if it’s your first time playing here. Plus, it helps with the pace of your play. If you haven’t been playing for a while and wish to practice your swing before your round, you can utilize their practice green. A regular player could finish a round in 3-3.5 hours, which tells it is not a very difficult play. If you are a real golf player, you may find the course easy, but the wind might challenge your skills. The greens are in good condition but undulating. We suggest your approach shots should be in the right tier. Otherwise, the result would be three putts. There are only two water hazards, but a lot of sands.

Your round is accented by the signature hole 7th, par 4 with a Pineapple train in the background, in addition to 4 great pars.
