Pukalani at Pukalani Golf Club

Pukalani Golf Club sits on the slopes of Haleakalā volcano in upcountry Maui, approximately 1,100 feet above sea level in the town of Pukalani. Bob E. Baldock designed the course, which opened in 1980, with his son Robert L. Baldock contributing to the design work. The layout takes advantage of the volcanic terrain and the cooler, often breezy conditions that characterize this elevation on Maui's interior slopes.

The course plays across rolling terrain with elevation changes that provide views toward the central valley and the West Maui Mountains. The routing incorporates natural contours and features typical of upcountry Maui, including eucalyptus trees and open pastureland character. The climate at this elevation differs notably from coastal Maui courses, with cooler temperatures and occasional afternoon clouds or mist rolling in from higher elevations.

Pukalani serves as a community course for residents of the upcountry region and visitors seeking an alternative to the resort layouts along Maui's coasts. The club maintains a straightforward, accessible character consistent with its role as a local facility. The course offers a distinct playing experience shaped by its inland mountain setting, where wind direction and intensity can shift during a round as weather patterns move across Haleakalā's slopes.
