Unforgettable Golf Courses on Maui

Maui is truly a golfer’s paradise. If you’re looking to play courses that are ranked at or near the top of the “world’s best” list, Maui has 16 of them. There is not a more breathtaking setting for a challenging game of golf than Maui, where you can tee off among groves of palm trees and play fairways that are warmed by the sun and cooled by the ocean mist. From Kapalua to Wailea and each course in between, you’re sure to have an unforgettable round.
