Makani Golf Club

Lots of great golf to have at this course. Greens were in good shape, fairways were in pretty good shape, outside of that was pretty rough. Nice lay out, friendly staff. No real club house, but has the basics.

I was a single-was lucky that the groups out there let me play through-played 18 in about 2.5hrs…interesting track, would play it again…I had a hot deal which was the proper price-course needs some love to bring it back to where it should be. The starters were fantastic.

I’ve had the pleasure of playing this course every year I come to the Big Island and I enjoy it immensely!

Beautiful Course above Kona with distant views of the ocean. Interesting varied layout. No management of pace. The group two slots in front of us took 5 and a Half hours to play! Fortunately we didn't run into them until the back nine but it was excruciating.

Course was in great condition and the views are amazing! It is generally cooler there.

Fairways a little rough and for the most part not green. A little torn up here and there I guess from boars or? Greens were good, not slow like many reported before me. Bunkers had new sand. Great pace, finished in 4 hours. Not a difficult course but with a nice layout.

Absolutely beautiful surroundings! The course is difficult, much different from the courses I’ve been playing in Florida. But, with such outstanding vistas, you tend to forget about how many strokes it’s taken for you to get the ball in the hole, once you find the greens!! Holes #17 and #18 are particularly interesting as you have to clear intimidating water hazards!! We’ll definitely be back to try our skills at conquering this beast! So much fun!!

Nice staff, nice layout, good condition. Signage directly players to the next hole could be improved. No GPS in carts and distance markers are scarce, so best to bring your own rangefinder. Enjoyable course.

The course is pretty unique and a locals course. The staff was great, especially Jim the starter who was like meeting an

old friend. Just say Lynn & Jay from Oregon sent you

Makani golf is a great course with beautiful views wherever you look, some challenging holes and above all a cool mountain breeze!

Kudos to all…from the starters to the grounds staff. Always enjoy connecting with Jim, Joel, Bernie and others who make us feel special to play there over many years. It’s a player friendly experience in all aspects.

Best time ever. Played like a mountain course in a tropical setting. Including wildlife. Bent grass greens. Shot my best score of the year. Golf shop is a hole in the wall. But staff is fantastic. Would play it again in a heartbeat.

Shot my best game of the year here. The greens were fantastic. The terrain was beautiful and played like a mountain course. The golf shop is a hole in the wall but the staff was great. Lots of wildlife and amazing views.
