Makani Golf Club

Played with my grandson and it was a wonderful day of golf

Makani Wow what a great course now one of my favorites in Hawaii. .This was my first time playing this great course in the hills of the big island. It all starts with first point of contact and the starter was very friendly and helpful. The club rentals were Titleist woods and irons with a Scotty Cameron putter in good condition. The range balls were clean and descent. The course views were amazing the condition of the course was 10/10 didn’t have a bad lie from any place on the course. If your in the rough then you are going to play out if thick stuff but not so thick that it’s unfair. Water mixed with lava rock was a great challenge and not unfair. The signature 17th hole was an awesome island green par three that played just under 150 from the whites. I have played over 10 courses on the islands and Makani is in my top 3. Special shout out to the Director of Golf who gave me a ride back down the hill because I couldn’t get an Uber driver to the course so make sure you have transportation to and from the course.

The 1st 4holes were played in perfect conditions, the 5th a few drops of rain- the 6th the fog came in and the heavens started opening up and it poured until I realized there was no stopping. Had to Quinton the 8th. By the time I got back to the clubhouse the parking lot was almost empty! I tried to get a rain check, which was given to all thY paid the course. As I had gone through GolfNow I needed to contact them. I could find NO WAY TO DO THAT! Any suggestions?

Excellent layout,challenging at all levels,great views ,pace was awesome never waited on any hole

The fairways and greens are well maintained. It is beautiful approximately 1100 above sea level so the temperature is perfect. 17 has green surrounded by water as signature hole. One of my favorite courses for the money on Big Island.

The course was in good condition but the weather was a little windier than we would have liked. It needs a club house.

Great layout. Very challenging. Fairways not in great shape. Very difficult to keep an approach shot on the green if landing on it. Surface is like concrete

We loved this course! The course was beautiful and the wild turkeys and goats added to our experience.

What a fun and interesting course with some challenging shots over water (an island green, for one) and a tough finishing hole. Course was in good shape and the player’s assistant was on top of some slow playing groups ahead of us. There are great views and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
