Waiehu Course
Waiehu, HI, USA




Waiehu Golf Course, nestled near the historic town of Wailuku on Maui, offers a democratic golfing experience defined by its welcoming spirit. Opened in 1930, the course is a testament to accessible golf amidst the dramatic landscape of the West Maui Mountains. Originally designed as a simple nine-hole layout, Waiehu was later expanded to 18, providing a classic parkland-style course with gently rolling fairways. The course unfolds with relatively generous landing areas, but is marked by trade winds coming off the Pacific, and small undulating greens that require more than just distance control for success. It's a course where the casual player and developing golfer can enjoy a relaxed round. While Waiehu hasn't played host to major championships, its role in the local golfing community is undeniable. It’s a place where the spirit of Aloha is always present, and many of the local area golfers learn to play. Waiehu remains an important part of Maui's golfing landscape, offering an authentic Hawaiian experience that prioritizes community and accessibility over exclusivity.
Municipal course on Maui with about 4 holes right on the Pacific Ocean. Not great design but the scenery is flat out amazing. Things the windy side of island too so the ocean puts on a show.
Public courses closest to Waiehu.
Most visitors arrive via Kahului Airport (OGG), Maui's primary commercial gateway, which sits just ten minutes east along the island's northern coastline. The drive to Waiehu Golf Course follows the Kahekili Highway as it hugs the dramatic windward shore, where the West Maui Mountains rise steeply inland and the Pacific stretches endlessly to the north. Within moments of leaving the terminal, the road narrows and the landscape shifts from resort corridor to working coastline - modest homes, roadside fruit stands, and the kind of unhurried island rhythm that defines this quieter corner of Maui, delivering you to one of Hawaii's most authentic and unpretentious municipal layouts.
