Aloha Kapalua Golf ʻOhana,

We want to share an important update with our valued guests and community. Beginning September 2, 2025, The Plantation Course and The Bay Course will be closed for 60 days as we work to restore turf health after prolonged irrigation restrictions.

This decision was not made lightly. While water restrictions have recently been downgraded to Tier 2, the prolonged period under Tier 4 – zero irrigation – caused significant stress and damage to the courses. Closing at this time will allow us to begin careful recovery and restoration so the courses may once again meet the standards of safety and playability our guests deserve. Under the current Tier 2 restrictions, which allows for 60% irrigation, our team is making every effort to restore golf course conditions to the highest level to host The Sentry PGA Tournament in January 2026.

For guests with tee times on September 2 or later, all prepaid reservations made through our online booking system will be fully refunded. Please allow 7–14 business days for processing. While we cannot share a reopening date just yet, we will continue to provide updates on our website as soon as more information becomes available.

While the golf courses rest, much of Kapalua Resort remains open to welcome you. The Tennis & Pickleball facilities, the Bay Course driving range, Plantation and Bay golf shops, Taverna, and the Plantation House Restaurant will all remain OPEN.

We are so grateful for your patience, understanding, and aloha as we navigate this challenging time together. We are deeply grateful for your continued support, and we look forward to welcoming you back to the courses as soon as conditions allow.

With gratitude,
Alex Nakajima
