A good choice on Big Island

No food and beverage, no on course service. Shop is temp building that looks a little sketchy. Nice layout with fair amount of hazards. Many of the fairways funnel down to the greens. Decent turf on fairways and greens. Nice views. A reasonable round in this part of the world.

Great Golf

We had the opportunity to play at 700h. We set the pace of play which was quick - 3.5 hours.

Jim was wonderful in getting the cart ready and our threesome off quickly. He is a treasure.

The bathroom on the 10th tee is the best on three continents. Such beautiful use of natural stone and wood.

The Nenes are always something we look forward to seeing and this time with their goslings. We also love all the trees in full bloom.

Gorgeous in every aspect.

Makani Golf

Enjoyable golf course made special by an incredible, attentive staff. From the incredibly helpful check-in, in the pro shop to the cart attendants to the gents that cleaned our clubs after the round. They put many of the so called "resort courses" to shame. Excellent experience!

Makini

Golf at Makani was quite enjoyable and we lucked out with a very comfortable sunny day with a very light breeze. There are some very challenging holes and the course was most enjoyable for me and my family.
