Secluded at Makena Resort on a perfect .25 mile of a beach at the foot of Haleakala the Maui Prince Hotel is a sanctuary. The serenity can be felt from the first moment a lei of seashells is draped over your shoulders and you are welcomed with the genuine smiles and warm attention of the staff. The entire hotel is built around an Asian meditation garden with stone paths quiet corners for contemplation waterfalls and streams swarming with brilliant red and gold carp. The roof is the sky. The door of every room opens to this atrium while the windows and lanai look out upon the ocean. Most people settle into the immediate serenity and find themselves sitting beside the pool or on the beach watching all the little white boats streaming to Molokini. And if the sea is calm they may hear the great humpback whales singing in the deep. - Makena North Course - Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. the Makena North Course opened in 1993 to rave reviews. The North Course feels more like a nature walk than a golf course with captivating mountain views of Haleakala Crater and sweeping views of the blue Pacific Ocean. Hawaiian rock walls remain where they were found and natural gullies and stream beds are left intact. - Makena South Course - Sharing the spirit that embodies the Makena Resort, the South Course provides the serenity and tranquility many golfers are looking for. With its natural rolling fairways undulating greens and breathtaking views of the ocean and mountains the South Course is a favorite among many Maui golfers. Both courses are owned and operated by the hotel. The South Course was recently renovated and re-opened in January 2002. All new grass from tee to green new bunker sand and concrete cart path has been added. - Prince Keiki Club - Our popular childrens program, Prince Keiki Club.
