I played in May on a Tuesday - either a slow time of year or normally not crowded due to high cost and travel involved. Took the 9:30 ferry from Lahaina Maui - took an hour to get to Lanai. The $300.00 plus fees for golf included the round trip ferry ride. We were checked in by 10:45 - Tee... More

Beautifuly and tough course! Right on the ocean with great views. Wonderful service and the food at the clubhouse is some of the best,

I played twice and people in my group played several times. They all said it rivals Pebble Beach. The only distraction is the during whale season it's difficult to focus on golf when whales are frolicking in the sea beneath you.

This course in one of the best presentation wise i have ever played. Manicured fairways with greens like snooker... More

Golf is secondary to the views....bring your camera and extra balls! The course was challenging with dramatic views and ocean views. Breathtaking

This course is magnificent. Beware of the tree cutters all around the course. They do not stop their machinery when you line up and play your shot. Some of them actually found one of our shots to be so poor that they were pointing and laughing. My group did not appreciate these people at all - especially given the price... More
