Golfer Reviews
Beautiful view Course but!
The Couse has a beautiful view and could use some attention. Staff are ok but failed to tell anyone that there is no place, except at pro shop, which is way off the course to get any drinks or food and should have mentioned it at check in. You need to bring your own. Greens need attention as well as fairways and second cuts. Management needs to step it up, if they have any.
Very unique golf holes
A nice blend of challenge with water, trees, lava, elevation changes and Island fauna. Unfortunately, the greens were not as smooth, but playable.
Makani review
Service was fantastic
Clubhouse tent was new. Minimal merchandise available.
A couple of greens need some attention.
The rough was extremely long.
Fun to play
I played just after hurricane Lala. The course was in great condition, I was shocked. The employees are friendly and the price was reasonable. I am looking forward to playing there again before leave Hawaii.
Pretty course
Wonderful layout with a lot of challenging holes! Some spectacular views and some elevation changes!!! 27 th hole is a beautiful island green par 3 you’ll always remember!! Course conditions fair- greens mostly good - rough needs cutting as many lost balls just off fairway!
Nice layout.
The course is very dry. The conditions are ok but not great. For $71 on a Golf Pass Hot Deal it was worth it. But for full price definitely not. The lakes need to be filled as black plastic on 18 showing ruins the look of an otherwise good hole. The greens are ok but very slow, probably to save them from the heat. No amenities either in the makeshift clubhouse or on the course. Just a refrigerator in the clubhouse trailer with a few drinks and sandwiches of unknown date. Could be a fun course if some money were invested in it.
Dyed and went to golf heaven
This golf experience has VALUE written all over it. We got a great deal on GolfNow, especially compared to typical Hawaii greens fees. The course design by Perry Dye is absolutely wonderful. It probably made his father proud. Generous landing zones off the tees and lots of elevation changes to present sight line challenges. Enough course design variance that you don’t feel you played this hole 45 minutes earlier. The fairways and greens were in very nice condition. Personnel were friendly, both in the clubhouse and Joel the starter are welcoming and helpful.
Improvements could be made on the condition of the tee boxes and the sand traps. The practice area needs some focus. Bring plenty of hydration because we did not see a refreshment cart and no water stations after we left the first tee with four bottles of water in our cartridge cooler.
Nice course for the money
This is an inland mountain course tucked in between Kona and Hilo side on the Big Island of Hawaii…nice course layout but some spots felt tight…great course for the price! 17th island hole is really nice!! Other courses charge for the ocean view rather than course play and challenge!
Makani the hidden Gem
I enjoyed playing this course on the Big Island. Everytime I come to this island, I’ll be playing a round of golf at this course for sure.
Good layout with excellent views
The island green was a bit disappointing. I had hoped it would have been better maintained.
Value for money
Compared to the other island courses Malani is the best bang for the buck. Course layout is good with elevation changes and undulations. Bunkers could be in better condition as there is tufts of grass growing in them. As well there are areas around greens and fairways (rough) that have seriously penalizing foliage growth that is easy to lose a ball in and slows the pace of play. Having said that the course is fun to play and as I said good value for your money.
I’d play again
Beautiful course with challenging layout. Course was building a new clubhouse so little amenities available when I was there. Golf Now price was $125 on a Monday morning which isn’t great but compared to some other courses it made sense. I would play there again.
