Beautiful location, very challenging course, lots of water.
Fun day on the links at Makani
Great day with new friends. I have 2 suggestions #1 keep your ball on the fairways and #2. Don't read too much break in your putts. Have fun.
Wonderful time
My round was most enjoyable because of the couple we were put with. All the staff were friendly and knowledgeable, especially smarter Jim and the young lady behind the counter. My score wasn't because of the course it may have been 4 months off with no practice. Suggestions, don't go off the fairway and I "saw" more break than there was on putts.
Staff were fantastic
The course is beautiful and the layout was fair and challenging. The staff are amazing. The food we ordered at the turn was great and fairly priced. I will definitely be back.
Always a great test
One of my favorites. Very few public golf courses are not surrounded by homes or resort setting. This course is still so.peaceful & calming.
Great layout, beautiful & a great test for any golfer.
Great Course
Great staff, fantastic conditions. A good challenge for any level golfer.
nice place no problems
Nice setup, with enough challenge for anyone, Liked the added roll compared to back home this time of year. Th e 17th and 18th will test you
Great Views and Enjoyable Course
Excellent course with great views of mountains and ocean. Course was in great shape.
We did have a good day but....
First of all, the staff was very friendly, courteous, and welcoming.
My issue was the course preparation. It was obvious that the sand traps had not been groomed for quite some time. I get no rake because of covid, but there's no excuse for allowing debris to accumulate in the traps.
The course needs some TLC in the maintenance and preparation.
Very disappointing
Course in mediocre condition. most of the staff on course showed no respect towards players; not turning down the engines when players are in proximity or stop working. Not true for all, but these are mostly exceptions. No distance markers on most holes. Confusing clots and markers at tee off for different skill levels. Worst was the pro shop, insisting that my shirt was not good enough and forced me to buy one of the overpriced ones they sell. Were not able and willing to refund the prepaid round. I run into exactly one other player, so the dress code enforcement was crucial. Good that there are much nicer courses on the island
Great layout
Good condition, too bad the 18th hole is to a temporary green due to renovation of the pond. Fun course to play.
Big Island, Makani country club
Very pretty course. A combination of both tight and open golf, Fairways are a bit on the thin side, Greens are decent, Yardage markers could be better, The course is in better shape than it was a year age, Would play again because of the layout. Five sets of tees.
Bad check in experience
We've been to this golf course many many times over the past several years. We come to this island a few times a year and always golf there. We have NEVER been told we can't wear a tank top or shorts or anything like that. We know it's on the website but it's never been enforced that we've ever been aware of.
Today we drive an hour to get there only to be told we have to have a collared shirt. They suggested we pay over $100 for two shirts or drive back to our condo and change. Really? A 55 min drive for a collared shirt? The golf course is in ranch country. The only one seeing our shirts would be geese, ducks, goats, chickens, etc. Good grief.
We understand a dress code but we were dressed nicely, just not collared. We've been there SO many times and they have never commented on our attire. So one gal decides today that she wants to enforce a dress code. Why not just say that for today since we drove so far, they let is slide but that we should be sure to dress with a collared top next time. But no, she wouldn't help out in that way.
We were very angry and drove back and changed and got back two hours later because we had a nonrefundable gift card and had to golf or lose out. It was very disappointing and we'll probably not return to this golf course again.
It's also worth noting that it was a very slow day there and we never even came close to any other golfers and they wouldn't have known or cared if our shirt had a collar. It was ridiculous and unnecessary. Never again.
RIDER FEE!
First off, why do you charge a rider fee if no extra cart is needed? As a single player when I want my father to come watch, $30 fee to use a cart that i would already be using. I was a single player grouped with no one. I would have an extra seat right next to me. Stupid! Course great layout. Condition was poor, especially for this environment. I would not suggest you go here.

Sorry, but you should always wear a collared shirt to any golf course. Tee shirts and tank tops, short shorts, just aren't acceptable on any golf course. It was correct for the course to enforce the dress code. They should have offered a discount on a collared shirt in their shop, though.
