LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
“My favorite course is The Dunes. I love The Dunes because of the different challenges on each hole, and the wind is always a big factor. My favorite hole is No. 18 of course, because it’s so difficult. Hint: If you play it down the right side, it’s easy.”
—Cary Marshall, Hdcp. 7, Poker Player, Kihei, Maui
LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
“I am a member of The Dunes Players Club and have played this course for nine years. It is a challenge because the course plays differently each time.
