Dunes at Maui Lani Golf Course

It’s not often people drive out of their way to a golf course just to dine at the pro shop, but Café O’Lei’s third location in the middle of Valley Isle attracts customers who have never touched a golf club as well as course regulars. WCM staff may attempt to mix business and pleasure, braving the central valley winds for a round on the Dunes after a great breakfast at Café O’Lei.
