King Kamehameha is the private-access wrinkle. Excellent if real, irrelevant if not. Do not let it distort the normal Maui plan.

This is a private course where you can pay to be a member for the day. Was very disappointed given the price, $300, which is the same you pay for the Wailea courses which are in much better condition. There were some really nice views of the island but short of that pretty uninte

We don't play golf but wanted to visit the state-of-the art King Kamehameha Golf Club on Maui. We were positively surprised that the main building was open to the public. It accommodates a polynesian art collection.
