Named after the greatest king of the islands of Hawaii, King K is a Ted Robinson design course and is the only private regulation course in Maui. As such, it is a must to come out if you get a chance to go. They offer member for a day promotion so I was able to access their golf course. Service was friendly. There were minimal staff due to my early arrival so I carried my bag to the staging area. Snack bar was still closed. Pro shop was very helpful and got me off and out the door in no time. As expected, there was very minimal play during my visit and I was allowed to tee off before the regulars came in. I finished in a little over 2 hours in a relaxed pace. I can see the first group after me was like 6 holes behind so there was no hurry. As for the course, I would consider this a mountain course with very little flat ground. As you drive your cart thru the fairway, it feels like you are 4wheeling. On hole 8, I thought I hit my drive on the middle of the fairway and could not find it when I reached my landing area. As I was ready drop another ball ready to concede lost ball, I noticed my drop ball roll to the right and sure enough my original ball rolled past the fairway due to terrain slope. Course condition is great with lush growth everywhere you look. Fairways lush with full coverage. Lots of elevation changes and some pretty tight fairways. Way ward tee shots might end up in the adjacent fairways so you don't lose a lot of balls. Bunkers have decent amount of sand although the sand is of the heavier coarser type which I do not like. Greens are firm and balls don't stop so make sure to keep that in mind when figuring where to land the ball. Smooth surface to putt which is also tricky as I missed a lot of 3 footers due to subtle breaks. No GPS on carts but there are yardage markers at 50 yard increments on the course. There is no water or trash can on course so make sure to bring enough supplies with you and make sure to store your trash in the bin on the cart. There is a driving range and warm up area but was closed when I got there so I was not able to use to review them. Overall a great experience and definitely recommend it.
