GS#480 March 17, 2015 The Pukalani Country Club in Maui, Hawaii is a hidden gem of a golf course. Unlike the expensive resort courses, Pukalani is where the locals go for a great round on a mature course at muni rates. Situated on the North Side of the island, and nestled on the slopes of Haleakela, the largest dormant volcano in the world. At 1,100 feet above sea level Pukalani provides panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean on both sides of the valley isle. In this classic episode from our archives, we speak to Ron Huffman, PGA, General Manager of Pukalani CC about this history of golf in Hawaii and how best to play this course.
