Planning the golf budget for a Maui trip means visiting a dozen different course websites, each with their own confusing rate tiers. Resort rates, twilight rates, kama’aina rates, replay rates — it adds up to a spreadsheet-level headache before you’ve even packed your clubs. We’ve done the legwork and compiled every Maui golf course’s green fees in one place, current as of early 2026.
Green fees on Maui range from $49 to $475 per round. Where you land on that spectrum depends on whether you’re chasing bucket-list championship courses or perfectly happy playing a public course with ocean views at a fraction of the price.
Premium Resort Courses ($235–$475)
These are Maui’s headline courses — architect-designed championship layouts attached to major resort complexes. They’re expensive, but they’re also the rounds you’ll remember for years.
Kapalua Plantation Course
| Standard rate | $475 + tax |
| Resort guest rate | $445 + tax (Ritz-Carlton, Montage, Napili Kai) |
| Premium rate | $546 + tax |
| Club rental | $95 + tax (includes two sleeves of balls) |
| Twilight rate | Not available |
The most expensive round on Maui and the only course that hosts an annual PGA Tour event (The Sentry, every January). Designed by Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore, it’s 7,596 yards of dramatic elevation changes on the West Maui Mountains. Worth it for low handicappers; potentially frustrating for everyone else. Stay at The Ritz-Carlton Maui, Kapalua to get the resort guest discount.
Kapalua Bay Course
Currently closed for turf restoration. Check Kapalua Golf’s website for reopening updates. When open, it’s the more accessible of Kapalua’s two courses, designed by Arnold Palmer, and typically cheaper than the Plantation.
Wailea Golf Club (Gold, Emerald, and Blue Courses)
| Standard rate (all 3 courses) | $235 |
| Resort guest rate | $190 |
| Twilight rate (1 course, noon–2:30pm) | $120 |
| Twilight rate (all courses, after 2:30pm) | $77 |
| Replay rate | $49 |
| Club rental | $30 |
Wailea charges the same green fee for all three courses, which is great value when you consider the Gold is a genuine championship layout. The twilight and replay rates are where the real savings are — $77 for a round on any Wailea course after 2:30pm is outstanding. If you play Gold in the morning and Blue in the afternoon, you’re paying $235 + $49 = $284 for two rounds at a world-class facility. Staying at the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea or Grand Wailea unlocks the $190 resort rate.
Mid-Range Courses ($89–$194)
Solid resort-quality courses that offer a great experience without the premium price tag. These are the sweet spot for most visiting golfers.
Royal Ka’anapali Course
| Standard rate | $194 |
| Twilight rate | ~$150 (from 1:10pm) |
| Club rental | Callaway Rogue sets available |
Robert Trent Jones Sr. designed this course in 1962, making it one of Hawaii’s first resort courses. The 18th hole is famous — Arnold Palmer called it one of the most challenging finishing holes he’d ever played. The Sheraton Maui and Westin Ka’anapali are both on the adjacent beach.
Makena Resort Golf Club (North Course)
| Standard rate | $135 |
| Guest rate | $120 |
| Twilight rate | $70 (guest: $65) |
| Club rental | $30 |
South of Wailea in Makena, this course sees less tourist traffic and offers a quieter, more local-feeling round. The $70 twilight rate is solid value for a resort course with ocean views.
Ka’anapali Kai Course
| Standard rate | From $89 |
| Includes | Cart and range balls (before 1:00pm) |
The more affordable and forgiving of Ka’anapali’s two courses. Par 70, 6,388 yards, and ideal for beginners. Read our guide to the best Maui golf courses for beginners for more on why the Kai outshines the Royal for casual players.
Kahili Golf Course
| Rate range | $95–$124 |
| Twilight rate | ~$95 |
A hidden gem in central Maui, designed by Robin Nelson. No homes on the course, mountain views, and consistently rated as one of the best deals on the island.
Budget Courses (Under $100)
You don’t need a resort budget to play golf on Maui. These public courses offer real golf with ocean and mountain views at prices that won’t ruin your vacation budget.
Maui Nui Golf Club (Kihei)
| Standard rate | Just under $100 |
| Multi-play savings | $60–$240 off with player cards |
| Open until | 8:30pm most evenings |
Rated #1 value and #1 golf experience in America by GolfAdvisor.com. Centrally located in Kihei, the par-71 course has recently widened fairways, TopTracer technology on the range, and a welcoming vibe. The multi-play cards are a smart buy if you plan to play multiple rounds during your stay.
The Dunes at Maui Lani (Kahului)
| Standard rate | From $69 |
| Kama’aina rate | Discounted for Hawaii residents |
Maui’s only links-style course, located near Kahului Airport. Perfect for a round on arrival or departure day. Robin Nelson designed the 6,423-yard layout with rolling dunes, elevation changes, and a Scottish-inspired feel. The closest course to the cruise terminal too.
Pukalani Country Club (Upcountry)
| Standard rate | From $49 |
| Thursday visitor special | $49 including cart |
The cheapest golf on Maui (aside from the municipal course). Perched at 1,100 feet on Mount Haleakala, Pukalani offers panoramic views of the Pacific that rival anything at the $400+ resort courses. The Thursday visitor rate of $49 all-in is the best deal in Maui golf, full stop. The vibe is local and mellow — no pretension, just good golf.
Waiehu Municipal Golf Course (Wailuku)
| Non-resident weekday | $66 |
| Non-resident twilight | $33 |
| Hawaii resident | $17 (twilight $8.50) |
| Student (Hawaii, through age 19) | $2 |
Maui’s municipal course is basic but charming. Three holes sit right alongside the beach, the conditioning isn’t resort-level, but at $66 for a full round (or $33 twilight) as a visitor, you’re playing oceanside golf for lunch money. The $2 student rate is the best deal in Hawaiian golf history.
How to Save Money on Maui Golf
A few strategies that can cut your golf spending significantly:
- Play twilight. Almost every Maui course offers reduced rates from 1:00–2:30pm onward. Wailea drops from $235 to $77. That’s a 67% saving for essentially the same course in afternoon light.
- Book multi-round packages. Hawaii Tee Times and Maui Golf Shop offer bundled deals — the “Maui Golf Challenge” gives you three top courses at a package price. Ka’anapali’s Stay & Play packages combine lodging and rounds.
- Play weekdays. Several courses charge more on weekends, and tee times are tighter with local play. Tuesday through Thursday tends to be the sweet spot.
- Rent clubs locally, not at the course. Course rentals run $30–$95 per round. Shops like Jimmy’s Maui Golf Rentals deliver top-brand sets to your hotel for a flat daily rate that works out cheaper if you’re playing multiple rounds.
- Stay at a resort with golf discounts. Resort guests at Kapalua save $30 per round, Wailea guests save $45 per round. Over three or four rounds, that pays for a nice dinner. See our guide to the best golf resorts on Maui for which hotels offer the best golf packages.
- Play the non-resort courses. Courses like Pukalani, The Dunes, Maui Nui, and Kahili offer legitimate golf experiences with ocean and mountain views for under $100. Four rounds on budget courses costs less than one round at Kapalua Plantation.
- Ask about replay rates. Wailea charges just $49 for a same-day second round. If you’re a golf fanatic, 36 holes in a day for $284 total is excellent value.
