THE DUNES AT MAUI LANI

Maui’s central valley known as the Kahului isthmus rests between two separate volcanic mountain ranges. This is the site of the renowned Dunes at Maui Lani Golf Course. While settlers over the past two centuries have cultivated much of the surrounding land, the site where The Dunes lies remains basically untouched – an unspoiled place where ancient Hawaiian alluvial sand dunes exist – until Maui Lani was created. Architect Robin Nelson’s result is a rare Hawaiian links with both character and charm. A course unlike any other: “The Dunes site is as close to authentic links as can be built in Hawaii,” he says. “One of the five best-kept secret golf course in America.” Golf Digest; “A fabulous natural golf site.” Links Magazine; Ranked among the Top 100 resort courses in America; among the Top 10 Golf Courses in Hawaii; and the No. 2 ranked course on Maui, Golfweek Magazine.
