The 6,570 yard, par 72 Kahili golf course was constructed in 1991 and designed by Robin Nelson and Rodney Wright. Its new owners have made the financial commitment to making the golf course even better than ever. Robin recently came back to enhance playability by softening the landing areas, lowering greens, adding tees, installing all-new putting green surfaces (TiffEagle), adding new bunkering and replacing all of the course’s sand. Kahili now sports new carts with GPS, and a staff trained for the ultimate in resort quality guest service. Carved out of the foothills of the scenic West Maui Mountains, the design of Kahili golf gourse takes advantage of the local terrain and Hawaiian trade winds to create a unique golf experience. The par 3s on the back side lay up and downhill to small greens. On the front side, a small dry creek bed and a lake come into play; accuracy is a must. The par 4s are designed to make the golfer work to get to the greens in regulation. There are many elevation changes combined with doglegs in both directions. The par 5s are designed to give the long ball hitter a chance for a birdie or possibly an eagle. Kahili, with a commanding clubhouse, is now open to the public and will make for a fun outing.
