Ka'anapali Kai

Description

Redesigned by Jack Snyder in 1976, this 6,400-yard golf course is a more forgiving play than its big brother. Built on a former sugar-cane plantation, Kaanapali Kai features gently undulating greens and treats golfers to a visual buffet of flora, including hibiscus, bougainvillea and plumeria. Norfolk pines and coconut trees border many of the fairways.

Kaanapali Kai is a thinking golfer's course. Strength comes second here to strategy, making it a great play for both the beginner and avid player.

    The most interesting thing about Kaanapali Kai might be the sugar cane tourist train that runs right by the course. This is a mid-level Maui course - nice and much better than it was after a renovatio ... more»

    The course had a lot to offer but it would have been better to have scheduled it on a day when the senior skins game was not on the sister course. Parking was bad, club house restricted, long wait fo ... more»
