I am going to Maui from the end of December to the middle of January, and we are staying right near the Dunes Golf Course. But I was wondering what other golf courses you guys think I should play. Thanks in advance.

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

Not sure about Dunes Golf Course. Went to Maui a couple years ago and played four rounds. Obviously, you have the courses up at Kapalua. Those are the best on the island, bar none. There are three courses there, the Village, the Bay and the Plantation. Although the Plantation has the prestige since it's used for the Mercedes, all three are very nice and you can't go wrong. Unfortunately for me, when I was there, the Plantation course was having it's fairways renovated, so it was shut down. Didn't play Village either as I was staying down in Wailea where I played most of my golf. I did, however, play the Bay Course and loved it....gorgeous part of the island with breathtaking ocean views.

Then you have the courses at Wailea - Emerald, Gold and Blue (I think). I played the Emerald and Gold since those two have had tour stops at some point or another (Champions, LPGA, etc.). They were both meticulously maintained, had some decent views of the ocean and Molokini and saw a few whales from a couple holes. Gold is the superior course. You find yourself always looking out at the ocean and the surroundings and just loving life. Lots of lava that you probably want to avoid as well!

Finally, I played the South course at Makena. I've read varying reviews - some say South is better than North and vice versa. Haven't played the North, but all I can say is, outside of Kapalua, Makena's South course was my favorite on Maui. Couple of great holes along the ocean....which I later saw very easily while snorkeling out near Molokini.

There are a couple of courses up at Ka'anapali as well, but from everything I read, they don't compare to the ones I just walked you through. My rankings - Kapalua Plantation, Makena South, Kapalua Bay, Wailea Gold, Wailea Emerald.

I'm am very jealous of you right now. Maui is the best place on earth, in me and my wife's opinion. Hard not to have fun there, but have fun anyway and go do the powered hang-gliding over at the Hana Airport (google it)....

      I watched this video of his last night: I don't hate him like @boogielicious apparently does and thought this was a pretty good premise so I gave it a shot.  Not the worst thing in the world and I especially liked the premise.  He's got a lot of air to fill by himself, which he isn't great at, but in doing so, you get some decent insight into how his brain works while setting up shots/putts.

      So driver is longer than all the other clubs and gear effect plays a bigger part with driver than anything else. If you're hitting it out of the heel it could slice even if you have the face square. Could try some foot spray or impact tape and check that. Other thing is if the shaft is different in how it flexes or how flexible it is it could be affecting your swing somewhat. Driver also has the straightest face, so while with a 4 iron it might fade, with driver that can wind up being a slice with the same face angle at impact.

      Yeah I have taken lessons. I also got clubs fitted in like 2011 ish. My driver and wedges aren't from that set though.    1. I'm just not sure why I can't seem to get the face back to square. I don't have that problem with my other clubs. Sure the longer ones a miss tends to be a slice, but I don't need to make a grip change to only sometimes hit the ball reasonably straight.   2. I think there is a bit of inaccuracy there. The number I have in my head is like 195 for my 5 iron. 4 iron also definitely has more variance than all my other irons, but 210ish is about right for non mishits.

      For multiple reasons, including "why should anyone else care to continue to search for someone else's ball?" No thanks.
