Tha Ka'anapali Resort's Royal Ka'anapali course on Maui is a tournament-tested design by Robert Trent Jones Sr., host to such events as the Champions TOUR Ka'anapali Classic and LPGA Kemper Cup.
Maui's Ka'anapali Resort is built upon 1,200 acres of land home to ancient Hawaiian royalty and is home to two 18-hole championship golf courses. The Royal Ka'anapali course was built in 1962 and designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., who created undulating greens and wide fairways to accent views of the Pacific Ocean and West Maui Mountains. This championship challenge has played host to such events as the Champions TOUR Ka'anapali Classic for 14 years, LPGA Kemper Cup and Shell's Wonderful World of Golf, and such legends as Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Chi Chi Rodriguez, Jan Stephanson and Betsy King have competed here. Guests of the Ka'anapali Resort receive discounts on green fees at both Royal Ka'anapali and newer Ka'anapali Kai, which was extensively renovated in 2005.

- This course is sneaky long and alot of fun to play for your avg to good golfer. Doesnt look like much from the road. When you get out there it is a well put together test of golf and the view and set up are beautiful and more then comfortable. When the wind is blowing this course can close to the toughest bear.
- Played both courses this week, BEST GREENS in the STATE! by far. Played other resorts, no comparison. Deceivingly more difficult that it appears, probably 5-7 strokes harder. Great experience, fun, friendly and multiple tees to accommodate my wife and son. Friendly staff. Ate lunch at Tia Juana's Beach Cantina, best tacos, listened to Donovan Frankenreiter. Kaanapali is a great resort, it's not a wonder why it's so busy here.
