Kapalua Golf’s Plantation Course will reopen for play on Monday, November 10, 2025. The golf course has been closed since September 2, 2025 to allow Kapalua Golf’s agronomy team to restore grass health after extended irrigation restrictions. As the PGA TOUR announced on September 16, the Sentry Tournament will not be contested on the Plantation Course in January 2026. Turf health and course conditions have improved to a level that allows for public play, but still do not meet PGA TOUR standards. Kapalua Golf’s Bay Course remains closed until further notice.
“We are very grateful to our agronomy team and the work they have done to bring the course back,” said Alex Nakajima, general manager of Kapalua Golf. “As a major contributor to Maui’s economy, the reopening of the Plantation Course means a lot to our community and the more than 300 employees who work on the golf course and in the restaurants. We look forward to welcoming guests back to Kapalua Golf’s Plantation Course starting November 10.”
Maui visitors can start scheduling November tee times starting October 23 at 7:30 a.m. HST. The promotional rate for the November reopening is $399. The agronomy team is still working to restore the greens on holes 1 and 8, therefore only 16 holes will be available to play for the foreseeable future. In compensation, golfers will receive a $50 golf shop credit. December tee times have a 14 day booking window (i.e. tee times for December 1st will be accepted from Monday, November 17th). December rates will be announced as Kapalua management continues to assess course conditions in the coming weeks. Kama’aina (Maui residents) has a five-day booking window and must contact the Reservations Department at 808-669-8044 for pricing and reservations.
Since early September, Kapalua Golf has been following Tier 3 water restrictions, which equates to a 60% reduction in normal water consumption. During this time, Kapalua’s agronomy team has worked hard to restore track conditions to the highest possible level. A prolonged period of Tier 4 water restrictions – no irrigation – caused significant stress and damage to Kapalua’s two golf courses over the summer.
While Kapalua’s golf courses have been closed since September 2, the rest of the Kapalua Resort has remained open to guests. The tennis and pickleball facilities, Bay Course driving range, Plantation and Bay golf shops, Taverna and Plantation House restaurants have all remained open.
