Rude Staff

Played 8 holes today. My pregnant wife was riding with me and started to feel a little under the weather. She wanted to leave so we headed in. When I turned in the cart, I told the pro shop what happened and asked if I could get a rain check for 9 holes. The guy at the pro shop said “you knew your wife was pregnant when you came out so we can’t give you any refund or rain check.” I was taken aback. Worst customer service I’ve ever encountered. Every other course I’ve played on Maui has been wonderful. I will be avoiding the Dunes for the foreseeable future and encourage others to take their business elsewhere.

It was okay.

Pace of play was okay. Staff was okay. Golf cart was not okay. Restaurant was good. Practice facility was very good. Course layout was okay, a lot of blind tee shots. The Nene geese on the course were cute. Over all it was okay.

Dunes?

No dunes here but certainly a pretty good course with some "entertaing" holes. Greens are in good shape and the fairways are better than they were last year. Some bunkers need more sand. It would be good to play it more than once as there are many holes that are blind second and even first shots and require management. No bombs away on quite a few holes.

Must play

The Dunes is easily one of my favorite courses to play on Maui. It's one of the rare reasonably priced courses to play in Hawaii. The offer multi game passes to help save some money on your green fees. Call the course directly to purchase the passes. The course was in fantastic shape, with excellent greens and overall course maintenance. Friendly staff and new golf carts make the outing very enjoyable. Every hole is a unique challenge with sometimes drastic elevation changes(up and down)to keep you on your toes. Highly encourage you to play here while you're on Maui. This is a course I would be a member of if I lived there.

Need to bring your “A” game for target golf

If you like target golf, this course is for you. Blind tee shots, small elevated greens and narrow sloping fairways. Length is not an issue on this course. Miss the fairway and you may not find your ball on some of the holes. Nice elevation changes. Will play again!

Great Course

Everything was great except the pace of play. Five hour rounds are not fun. There were four holes open in front of the group we were following and no ranger. At no time did they allow us a chance to play through. I will still go back hoping to not follow a group like that.

Aloha and mahalo for your kind review of The Dunes! We appologize about the slow play as a 5 hour round is not what we are striving for. We have course ambassadors scheduled everyday and hope this does not happen in the future. We look forward to seeing you soon at the Dunes!
