The Best
Golf Resorts
on Maui

AC Hotel Maui Wailea provides modern, efficiently designed rooms in the Wailea resort zone with access to all three Wailea Golf Club courses. As one of the newest and most affordably priced hotels in Wailea, it offers a clean, stylish base for golfers who prefer to spend their budget on green fees rather than resort amenities. The AC Hotel brand’s European-inspired design and curated breakfast programme add a cosmopolitan touch. The proximity to the Wailea courses and the lower nightly rate create one of the most value-conscious golf-and-stay options in the Wailea area.

Aston Maui Ka’anapali Villas sits at the north end of Ka’anapali, close to both the Ka’anapali Golf Resort courses and the Kapalua courses. The condo-style rooms with kitchenettes provide practical golf-trip accommodation — space for equipment, early-morning coffee capability, and rates that leave more budget for green fees. For golfers who want location and affordability over resort luxury, it’s one of Ka’anapali’s smartest options.

Residence Inn Maui Wailea provides the most affordable accommodation in the Wailea resort area with access to all three Wailea Golf Club courses. The extended-stay format — full kitchen, complimentary breakfast, Bonvoy points — means more budget available for green fees, and the suite layout accommodates golf equipment better than standard rooms. For golfers planning a multi-day Wailea golf trip, the Residence Inn’s value positioning makes the total vacation cost dramatically lower than the resort hotels.

Royal Lahaina provides convenient access to both Ka’anapali Golf Resort courses and, being positioned at the northern end of Ka’anapali, is also the closest major resort to the Kapalua Plantation Course. This dual proximity gives golfers more course options within easy reach than any other Ka’anapali hotel. The resort’s more affordable pricing means more budget available for green fees.

Andaz Maui guests receive access to all three Wailea Golf Club courses, with the resort’s concierge arranging tee times and logistics. The Andaz’s contemporary, active-lifestyle positioning attracts a golfer demographic that appreciates both the course quality and the resort’s social dining scene — a round at the Gold Course followed by dinner at Morimoto Maui is a quintessential Wailea day. The Hyatt brand means World of Hyatt points and potential golf-package offers. For golfers who want a modern resort experience between rounds rather than old-guard formality, the Andaz is the natural fit.

Ka’anapali Beach Hotel sits adjacent to the Ka’anapali Golf Resort with convenient walk-to-golf access to both the Royal Ka’anapali and Ka’anapali Kai courses. At the lowest nightly rate of any Ka’anapali beachfront hotel, the total cost of a golf-and-stay vacation here significantly undercuts every neighbour on the beach. For golfers who’d rather spend their budget on green fees and experiences than hotel room upgrades, KBH delivers the essentials — Ka’anapali Beach, comfortable rooms, and walking-distance golf — at an honest price.

Ritz-Carlton Kapalua sits within the Kapalua Golf community, home to the Plantation Course — Maui’s most famous layout and annual host of the PGA Tour’s The Sentry (formerly Tournament of Champions). The Plantation’s dramatic par-5 18th, playing downhill toward the ocean with Molokai in the distance, is one of the most iconic finishing holes in professional golf. Ritz-Carlton guests receive preferred tee times and rates. The resort’s position high above the coastline means some rooms overlook both the ocean and the golf course, and the proximity to the first tee makes early morning rounds effortless.

Fairmont Kea Lani guests have access to the three Wailea Golf Club championship courses — Gold, Emerald, and Blue — all within a short drive of the resort. The Gold Course is the most challenging, with dramatic ocean-view holes and strategic lava-rock hazards. The resort’s concierge arranges tee times, and the all-suite accommodation means golfers returning from an early morning round can shower and change without waking their partner in the same room. The separate living areas in every suite are a genuine advantage for golf-focused travellers who keep different schedules from their companions.

Four Seasons Maui guests receive preferred access to all three Wailea Golf Club courses — the Gold, Emerald, and Blue — each offering ocean-view layouts in Wailea’s reliably sunny climate. The Gold Course’s par-3 8th, with Molokini Crater and Kaho’olawe as backdrop, is one of Maui’s most scenic holes. The resort’s concierge arranges tee times, transportation, and club rentals, creating a seamless golf-and-luxury experience. Having three courses within minutes of your room provides the variety that serious golfers want during a week-long stay, and Wailea’s south-facing orientation means afternoon rounds play into spectacular sunsets.

Grand Wailea guests receive access to the three Wailea Golf Club courses — Gold, Emerald, and Blue — all within minutes of the resort. The proximity, combined with Wailea’s sunny south-shore climate, makes for a reliable golf experience year-round. The resort’s concierge handles tee times and logistics, and the diversity of the three layouts provides genuine variety for multi-day golf trips. The Gold Course’s ocean-view holes are among Maui’s most scenic, while the Emerald plays through tropical gardens at a more forgiving pace. After-golf recovery is sorted by the Kilolani Spa’s 50,000 square feet of hydrotherapy and treatment rooms.

Hyatt Regency Maui sits adjacent to the Ka’anapali Golf Resort, home to the Royal Ka’anapali and Ka’anapali Kai courses. The Royal course has hosted PGA Tour events and plays along the oceanfront with mountain views, while the Kai is a more relaxed resort-style layout. Walk-to-golf convenience is a genuine advantage here — no shuttle, no drive, just a short stroll to the first tee. Combined with Ka’anapali’s broader resort scene and the Hyatt’s beach-and-pool amenities, it creates a well-rounded golf vacation package.

Ka’anapali Alii is steps from the Ka’anapali Golf Resort, with the Royal Ka’anapali and Ka’anapali Kai courses both accessible without a car. The walk-to-golf convenience combined with the condo’s full kitchen — for post-round meals and early-morning coffee before tee times — creates a practical golf-trip setup. The spacious suites accommodate golf equipment storage better than hotel rooms, and the self-catering option means more budget available for green fees.

Sheraton Maui’s Ka’anapali location puts you within walking distance of the Ka’anapali Golf Resort’s two courses — the championship Royal Ka’anapali and the resort-friendly Ka’anapali Kai. The Royal course’s oceanfront holes with views across to Lanai and Molokai are among west Maui’s most scenic, and the walkable proximity eliminates the shuttle-and-drive logistics that other resort golf packages require. Combined with Sheraton’s beach-and-pool amenities and reasonable pricing, this creates a well-rounded golf vacation at Ka’anapali’s best price point.

Kapalua Bay Resort sits within the Kapalua Resort community, home to the Plantation Course — host of the PGA Tour’s Tournament of Champions (now The Sentry) and one of the most prestigious courses in Hawaii. The Plantation’s sweeping ocean views, dramatic elevation changes, and challenging layout attract serious golfers from around the world. The Bay Course (currently undergoing renovation) provides a second 18-hole option. Resort guests receive preferred tee times and rates, and the walk-or-shuttle proximity to both courses makes multi-day golf trips effortless.

Westin Maui’s central Ka’anapali position puts you within easy reach of both Ka’anapali Golf Resort courses — the Royal Ka’anapali (championship) and Ka’anapali Kai (resort-style). The proximity to Whaler’s Village also provides convenient access to pro shops and equipment. Westin’s pricing makes the total cost of a Ka’anapali golf vacation more accessible than the Hyatt, and Marriott Bonvoy points (Westin is Marriott-branded) add another value lever for loyalty members.

Wailea Beach Resort Marriott provides access to the three Wailea Golf Club courses, with the convenience of being the closest resort to the Shops at Wailea — useful for post-round dining and equipment needs. Marriott Bonvoy members may find golf-and-stay packages that combine points with green fees. The resort’s value positioning means the total cost of a Wailea golf vacation (accommodation plus green fees) undercuts comparable packages at the Four Seasons or Grand Wailea, making this the most budget-conscious golf-and-resort option in the area.

Marriott’s Maui Ocean Club offers a 3.5-acre heated outdoor pool, a luxurious spa and private balconies in every suite. The luxury hotel overlooks Maui’s famous Ka’anapali Beach. It is an excellent choice for golfers on Maui.
