Cons:
Not many cons, your playing disc golf in Hawaii on an island!
If there are some cons I would say a lot of sand on the course and course uses same baskets for multiple holes.

Other Thoughts:
Must play if visiting Maui! It was a lot of fun! I honestly did not think it would be that fun and challenging.

Unique course, coming from Michigan 2+ years

Pros:
Aesthetic-- plays through a very large multi-use park in the valley city of Kahului on Maui!! Shares many areas with walking paths but other amenities are relatively safe. Be vigilant of walkers etc.
Baskets-- DisCatchers all in good repair, the yellow bands aided visibility
Routing and nav-- With the map (you need the map!) routing isn't terrible. However, many of the tee areas aren't immediately evident and you may just have to throw from a selected spot.
Use of available terrain-- uses an old drainage ditch for a couple holes but the grass isn't cut here. Other holes utilize "gully" type shots and hills are a major factor here.
Risk v Reward-- the main RvR here is the rough. It's punishing is you have errant shots so keep 'em on the fairway!!
Challenge-- with the wind, the challenge becomes playing the wind and keeping your discs on the fairway. I'm sure it's not always windy but it was 30-40mph the day we were there.

Cons:
Safety-- because this course shares many areas with walkers/runners/bikers the course has safety issues. Be aware of the other people using the park and you'll be fine.
Routing/nav-- As I already said, the tee areas aren't always immediately evident as tee areas. Later in the course, they are bigger dirt scuffs or carpet pads and these are easy to follow.
Tee areas-- some are side walks with painted lines, some are dirt scuffs, some are carpet. Seem to be in decent repair for what they are.
Long walks-- seemed to be some long walks between 4 & 5 specifically..

It's disc golf in paradise, how could it be bad?

Pros:
Right in the Heart of Maui. Shops nearby, nice variety of shots, and slight elevation changes. Tough course when the wind is roaring! which it usually is!! Fun Course!!
Cons:
still a fresh course, so alot of room for improvement. also 2pm-sunset it can get really crowded with pedestrians and other park users.
Other Thoughts:
as time goes by, this course only can get better..
