Kahili Golf Course

Kahili Golf Course sits on the northern slopes of Maui's West Maui Mountains, above the town of Wailuku at elevations ranging from roughly 500 to 900 feet. Designed by Robin Nelson and Rodney Wright and opened in 1991, the course occupies former sugarcane land that transitions into rolling terrain with views across central Maui toward Haleakalā and the Pacific. The layout takes advantage of the property's natural contours and the prevailing trade winds, which influence play throughout the round. The routing moves through varied topography, with several holes playing along ridgelines and others descending into small valleys. The design incorporates native grasses and vegetation that frame fairways bordered by volcanic rock outcroppings and occasional stands of eucalyptus and ironwood trees. Water features appear on a handful of holes, and the bunkering tends toward natural, irregular shapes that reflect the volcanic landscape. The course measures over 6,500 yards from the back tees, though multiple tee options accommodate different skill levels. Kahili operates as a public facility and serves both residents and visitors to Maui. The course is less traveled than the resort layouts along the island's western and southern coasts, offering a quieter experience in a setting that emphasizes the island's interior geography. The clubhouse provides standard amenities and views of the surrounding mountains and valley below.
