The Road to Hana

It's not about the destination, it's about the journey. 52 miles of winding, 1-lane road with a yellow line down the middle, much of it on the edge of 400 ft. cliffs. 10 mph speed limit that seems much too fast in some places. Great fun, right? You betcha!

Here is the ancient rainforest... the mysterious heart of Maui. Exotic fruits, flowers and foliage, trails through the jungle, and, yes, spectacular waterfalls. Stop at every pullover and explore. Fill your camera with Nat'l Geo style photos... hard to take a bad pic here. It's a different world from your Mai Tai plentiful beach resort.

Fill up the gas tank and start early so you can absorb as much as possible and still get home before dark.

And if you don't want to brave that narrow road and speedy local drivers on your tail, there are several tour companies that will let you enjoy the very best views in air-conditioned comfort. Just call for our recommendations: 800 981-5512

Here are some of Maui's favorite courses. For the complete listing, go to Maui Course Reviews.

The Dunes at Maui Lani
1333 Maui Lani., Kahului

Maui's newest course and already one of our must-plays! This interesting test of golf offers spectacular mountain and valley views of West Maui Mountains and Halelakala Volcano. The first couple of holes and the final ones are on the open plains exposed to the 15-25 mph tradewinds, but most are in the sandy dunes forest. These are some of the most interesting golfing holes in Hawaii.

This popular links course offers lots of options to the player as it has lots of pot bunkers in key positions on each hole and around the greens, giving it a "Scottish feel" without the chill.
You'll enjoy this challenging new course and the reasonable rates. The Dunes also offers one of Maui's best target practice facilities with large greens

Kapalua Plantation Course
300 Kapalua Drive, Kapalua

This is probably the toughest and most spectacular golf course on Maui. It has the widest fairways and largest greens but plays tight due to the elevation changes and strong trades that challenge you on every hole. Bring extras as the waist high rough eats golf balls. Try to play with a partner experienced at Kapalua as local knowledge is a must to score well here. (The par 73 should be 83 even for pros playing the first time!) Remember to play safe whenever possible as most short and wild shots turn into lost balls.
The Mercedes Championship is played here in January with the opening of the PGA Tour season when the best in the world come to challenge one of Maui's best courses.

18-holes - par 73 - 7411-yards.
