The Ka'anapali Resort on Maui is home to two championship golf courses, set on 1,200 acres of land home to ancient Hawaiian royalty. The Ka'anapali Kai course is an Arthur Jack Snyder design from 1962 that received an extensive renovation in 2005. The golf course is shorter and has a lower slope/rating compared to its sister Royal Ka'anapali course, but also plays narrower in most spots. Many holes are tucked into the West Maui Mountains The golf course is women-friendly with a forward set of "Hibiscus" tees at 4,522 yards, and also less expensive to resort guests and visitors compared to Royal Ka'anapali, which has played host to numerous professional events.

    Love the course, good for everyone, no matter the handicap! Greens are in great shape & the course can play super hard, or not so much. Really a shot placement course. One of my favorites on the island.

    On the other side, the people who work at the course are super friendly & go out of their way to make sure your experience is awesome.

    The course was in great shape. A great golfing experience! All of the staff from the pro shop, bag attendants to the greenskeepers working on the course could not have been better. I'm going to recommend Ka'anapali to all of my friends. I can't wait to visit again!

    My partner and I were treated with great respect the minute we entered the club house. We are ave. golfers and had the best time, with two other players we had never met before. The course played challenging for us, but also was not the toughest we had ever played. The par three's are long enough to be tough for some, and the greens are challenging to putt on. You will never be treated any better than at this course, from the club house to the person whom puts you in a cart. Thanks again for a great time, I'm sure we will be back some time....

    Nice course, good challenge. Wind makes some holes play much longer.

    Not as difficult as the sister course Royal, but the Kai course is a par 70 that is definitely in great shape and has a number of scenic holes.
