Maui Golf Courses & Tee Times

Maui golf is known for Kapalua. Its Bay Course opened in 1975 and staged the 1983 Kapalua International, the first live prime-time golf telecast. The Plantation Course, a Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore design on the West Maui Mountains, has hosted over 25 PGA Tour events. The Sentry was not played there in 2026. The PGA Tour pulled it over Maui's drought.

Good weekend tee times on Maui go fast, and the ones that come back later (cancellations, groups that shrink) aren't announced. Yoink watches the tee sheets at 7 public courses here in Lahaina, and tells you the moment a time you want opens up.

The longest layout here is Pukalani Country Club at 6,945 yards.

Who runs public golf on Maui

Public golf on Maui is resort and daily-fee golf. Kaanapali has two courses, the Royal and the par-70 Kai, and says it runs on recycled water with no drought restrictions. In central Maui, The Dunes at Maui Lani is the only Hawaii course built on natural dune terrain and hosted the 2024 Maui Open. Upcountry, Pukalani Country Club is a 1980 Bob Baldock design at about 1,100 feet on Haleakala. Several courses have kamaʻāina deals, like the Honu Card at Maui Nui Golf Club.

Why tee times on Maui are hard to get

Golf on Maui peaks in winter, when seasonal residents and visitors arrive. From roughly November through April, weekend mornings are the hardest times on the sheet to get, and even weekdays fill up.

Each course releases its tee times on its own schedule, commonly a week or two out, with residents of town and county courses often booking first. Leagues, outings and members claim chunks of the sheet in advance, and whatever prime weekend times are left tend to go on release day.

When tee time cancellations happen

A full tee sheet rarely stays full. Many courses let you cancel without a fee up to 24 or 48 hours before your time, so spots tend to reappear in the last couple of days. A bad forecast shakes more loose, and a foursome that drops to three opens a single. None of it is announced. The time just shows up again on the booking page, and whoever looks first gets it.

Doing it by hand? Here's what works.

  1. Know the booking window. Find out how many days ahead each course releases times, and whether residents get an earlier window. Be ready the morning it opens.
  2. Look again 24 to 48 hours out. That's when most cancellation deadlines pass and spots come back.
  3. Be flexible on group size. Singles and twosomes fit into gaps a foursome can't.
  4. Try twilight and weekday afternoons. They're the last to fill and often cheaper.

Tee times on Maui: questions

How do I get notified when a tee time opens up on Maui?

Set a watch in Yoink for the courses you want, the days you can play, a time window and the number of players. Yoink checks those tee sheets every few minutes and sends a notification as soon as a matching time appears, cancellations included. You book it directly with the course.

When do tee time cancellations usually show up?

Mostly in the 24 to 48 hours before the tee time, as golfers cancel ahead of the course's cancellation deadline, and whenever the weather forecast changes. They appear without notice and tend to be rebooked quickly.

How far in advance can you book a tee time on Maui?

It depends on the course. Many public courses open bookings 7 to 14 days ahead, and town or county courses often give residents an earlier window. Each course's own booking page has its policy.

When is golf busiest on Maui?

Demand is highest from roughly November through April. Weekend mornings are always the hardest tee times to get.

Does Yoink book the tee time for me?

No. Yoink tells you when a time opens; you book it with the course on its own booking page, at the course's price, with no extra fee.
