The Royal Ka’anapali golf course is situated in the resort town of Ka’anapali and is home to two great courses right along the water. Just steps away from any of the Ka’anapali resorts and only a short drive from Lahaina or anywhere else on West Maui. It sets up for a perfect day of picturesque island golf for any level.

To play the royal course you can expect to pay for a relative bargain of $179 USD (for resort guests), when compared to the $300 price tag at Kapalua.

With GPS enabled carts, your round stats with a relatively tame par 5 with water down the right, and an approach shot well-protected green with bunkers on the left and water on the right.

The round really kicks into high gear when you make you way up to the 2nd green. You finally get to see what you are about to play the rest of the day.

The signature 5th hole takes you right out to the beach. Hopefully, for your sake that’s the only beach, you find as there are many well manicured bunkers throughout the course. We were not so lucky on this day.

After the first 6 holes you head further up the hill and across the road for some of the best views of the pacific ocean and island of Lanai. It was on this side of the course that I found what was my true favourite hole.

Number ten is nestled back on the far end of the course where you are met with a spectacular view. With a narrow tree-lined fairway it demanded your best drive of the day.

Overall the Royal Ka’anapali golf course was an amazing experience and a great value.

Pro-Tip: 
Instead of renting clubs from the course. Get some premium clubs from Jimmy’s Maui Golf Rentals. Book your round through them and save even more money.

But there is still something to be said about golfing with familiar clubs. Golf is already hard enough, why would you want to play with a random set of clubs.

Now of course you can always pay for a premium set at any of the courses on the island. But what if you plan to play multiple rounds, or you want to guarantee the type of clubs you will play? Those are both things that Jimmy’s Maui Golf Rentals can help with.

At Jimmy’s Maui Golf Rentals you can choose from over 150 premium iron sets from brands like Adams, Callaway, Cobra, Mizuno, PING, Taylormade and Titleist. You are sure to find a great set, and maybe even the set you use at home. For myself, I chose the Taylor P770 irons, which came with M2 woods, and Taylormade wedges.

But why stop with clubs. At Jimmy’s Maui Golf Rentals you can even add on shoe rentals and purchase balls, gloves and tees. So you don’t have to worry about anything. Except maybe hitting the fairway, but don’t forget your golfing on your vacation!

One more important benefit of using Jimmy’s Maui Golf rentals. They will deliver your premium golf clubs and accessories to any resort, condo, timeshare, or private home ANYWHERE in Maui. Remember your on vacation so relax and let them take care of it.

For anyone looking to golf to Maui, or the Big Island (Jimmy also has a location in Kona) I would recommend checking out Jimmy’s Club rentals. Do yourself a favour, you can thank me later.
