Waiehu Municipal Golf Course
Waiehu Municipal Golf Course offers an approachable 18-hole public layout rich with ocean views and mountain scenery. Ideal for all skill levels, the course blends smooth-running greens and gentle coastal winds for an authentic Maui golfing experience without resort premiums.
Course Overview
Located just moments from Wailuku on Maui’s lush north shore, Waiehu Municipal Golf Course offers an 18-hole public layout that balances approachable playability with the natural beauty that defines Hawaiian golf. This course provides a genuine island experience without the premium price tags often associated with resort courses in the region. Waiehu’s terrain unfolds across gentle slopes and rolling fairways, offering a pleasant mix of ocean views and mountain backdrops that shift subtly through each hole.
Designed to welcome golfers across skill levels, Waiehu's course structure blends forgiving fairways with well-positioned hazards that reward thoughtful strategy over brute force. The greens run smooth and true, reflecting diligent maintenance despite the course’s municipal nature. Players can expect traditional Hawaiian coastal winds that add a layer of challenge, testing shot selection and tempo without overwhelming less experienced golfers.
One of Waiehu’s appealing traits is its vibrant setting, alive with local wildlife and framed by rugged volcanic ridges and tropical vegetation. The occasional appearance of island birds and the distant sound of surf create a sensory experience extending well beyond the game itself. Several tee boxes accommodate golfers seeking shorter yardages, supporting a steady pace of play that remains respectful of all groups sharing the course.
The clubhouse delivers a straightforward but well-equipped hub, offering rental clubs, carts, and a small pro shop with essentials. For those who prefer to walk, the course layout is manageable and generally flat, though some light footwear traction is recommended given occasional moisture near the early morning tee times. Walking provides a chance to better appreciate the shifting light and breezes unique to Maui’s microclimates.
Waiehu Municipal embraces a welcoming environment where visitors frequently praise both the friendly staff and the unpretentious charm of island golf lived at its most accessible. Whether fitting in an early round before exploring the island or returning to the course seasonally, golfers find the experience here refreshingly genuine, scenic, and practically enjoyable.
Course Highlights
Waiehu blends coastal and gentle hillside topography, granting panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean alongside the lush backdrop of Maui’s volcanic slopes. The course is known for its pristine, fast greens and an inviting layout that favors strategic shot-making. Local wildlife sightings, including native birds, contribute to a vibrant atmosphere rarely found on municipal courses.

Played about as poorly as I do anywhere else, but this time I was surrounded by beautiful views the entire time! Really had a great experience, staff is all very friendly and the booking process was easy. Thank you Waiehu for making my dream of playing golf on Maui come true!

Good value for money, especially twilight rates. We go annually and the course seems to get better every year.. make sure you return your power cart by 6:30 pm or somebody will come and track you down!

This is my home course. You can’t beat the view. The course is well maintained. The county has put in so much effort and it shows. There are a few courses closer to me, with one across the street but I play here instead, 3-4 times a week with some days being double. The greens run smoothly as you see it, with tee boxes and fairways just as well kept as the greens. I wish they would make 3 tee boxes with one that’s at the very back. Only minor issues I have are people not repairing their ball marks (pet-peeves of mine, with every green I’m repairing 5-6 every time), filling their divots (for riders), slow play (if you’re a beginner or can’t hit far, please use the front tees. And folks, please keep up with the group ahead of you).

This is a must play course. Don’t let the word Muni fool you…. This course is in fantastic condition and rivals every course on in Maui. I arrived to the airport way too early and found out there is no Delta Sky club to hang out in before our flight out. A little googling and I found this course 18 minutes away. The staff were very kind and I was able to play 9 holes with a cart. The carts are new, club house had many items to choose from and is managed by a third party. I paid for my round then had to pay separately for the cart and a ball for my collection. The first tee greats you with a wonderful view of the ocean and well maintained course. You will forget how inexpensive 18 holes cost… I met up with Brandon who was walking alone and is also one of the many groundskeepers. He definitely has a passion for his work and was very helpful with shot placement. Brandon did advise the possibility of the bunkers being renovated in the future, however, with a little fluffing they played well. The greens aren’t rolled and you would never know… they roll beautifully and play fast. Don’t over estimate the break as it’s not as bad as you think. Brandon was a pleasure to play along with and his conversation really made the final hours in Maui exceptional. Thank you Brandon… Check out some of the pictures and decide for yourself. I guarantee I’ll be back. Thank you to all the other staff who make this course amazing to play, your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed!

A very fun and challenging course at the same time. Definitely recommend for anyone to golf it. Very beautiful scenery and a very helpful staff. The prices are very reasonable for golf. I’ll definitely be playing again. The ocean views are very beautiful and then you also get a mountain side of the course also. Lots of wildlife from cats to birds to chickens it all has something for everyone.
