Makani keeps getting better
I've been playing this course for years, back when it was literally a goat track. Even with bare spots and slow greens it was fun. Now it's a different course, even though the routing is unchanged. The fully redone greens are fast and true, and the course still offers plenty of options and challenge from the right tees. There's a great mix of short and longer holes. Playable for all, but you have to use some strategy to score well.
Hopefully you take advantage of 15 and 16, because 17/18 can be a tough finish if the wind is blowing.
