Had a fun round at Pukalani! If you’re expecting Wailea level greens and service, go back down to Wailea. Super laid back and affordable - we paid around $150 for green fees (18 holes), shared cart and rental clubs for two. We arrived quite early which gave us time to hit a few balls at the driving range (only takes $1 bills, $3 for small basket and $6 for large basket of balls). Rental clubs were good (I think, I’m a newbie - they were TaylorMade). There was a drink cart on course or you could stop in at the clubhouse after the 9th hole. Super cute Muscovy ducks near the pond on the back nine. Water stations and a few toilets scattered throughout. Great views and the greens were running fast today, noticed some people say it’s slow. Would play again!

Well maintained moderately challenging course with friendly staff and good food in the clubhouse. There was an issue with the booking online with clubs and the round from a 3rd party. Rather than making it my issue the pro shop dealt with it for me, which I really appreciated. Above and beyond in my opinion. I would highly recommend checking it out, very affordable and everything in the pro shop was 40-60 precent off.

Course was in pretty good shape. Some of the fairways weren’t as clean and a bit patchy. The greens were in great shape. For the price I think it’s a great course.
