Makani Golf Club

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent three rounds at Makani. Well, one of the rounds was in such fog that we never saw the course much at all so we played it 2x more and it's a gem of a course.

The land surrounding the course is beautiful and the course is carved out of it. Bonus is seeing wild turkeys, goats, birds of prey and a kind of wild feeling throughout though the course is well maintained throughout. I have a lower handicap, played off the "champion" markers and found it moderately challenging with the last two holes being exceptionally challenging. Staff is very very nice.

Love the course fairways very dry. Greens excellent will come gain

Return trip when visiting the Big Island. Always a treat, always a bit cooler and the friendly staff makes for a welcome addition to the experience. Limited post-round options but always return for our time in Hawaii. Encourage you to do the same.

What a great Course!! The Staff were friendly and Helpful. The course itself was very well maintained and offered challenges on several holes - especially number 17!! I made another tee time as soon as I finished the round.

The only downfall was the club l house is actually a tent like structure. You can get a caned or bottled beverage from the cooler - but that's about it. There was no cart service the day I played - But normally there is.

Played for a 2nd time today and enjoyed it more than a week ago. Interesting layout and never did figure out the breaks on the greens..... In good shape and cooler temos than beachside courses.

The cost was worth it. However, the pace of play was very slow. I think it was over booked.

First time playing here. Course was in decent shape. Layout was interesting, greens were challenging. Couple holes had distant views of the coast....nice. No restaurant or bar...... On-course snacks very limited.

Very nice course. Friendly and helpful staff. I can only recommend!

Makani (big island) is awesome ......wild life and an island green......fun elevation changes >.<

Makani is a hidden gem on Hawaii. It was a wonderful course layout with wonderful challenges for a midrange handicapper. The last two holes are not to be missed.

This course is a jewel in the wilderness. The course is challenging, but playable. The staff were friendly and helpful. The pace of play was great with little waiting. i would play this course again as it it is scenic and has an array of wildlife seldom seen on most courses.

Today was my first time playing the course. Incredibly nice staff, course was in pretty good conditions (good for the price) and a beautiful setting for a course. A great mix of challenging tight holes and a couple to take a breath but don’t underestimate your approaches. Full wedge approaches necessary to hold. Enjoyed the round so I re-rounded. I will return one day in the future to play again.

Lovely course with combination of rolling terrain and challenging water holes. Cooler temperatures make for comfortable rounds, and beautiful surroundings and views make up for any errant shots.

Value worth the money spent for early afternoon twilight booking. Wild life was plentiful.

I played this course in late October, midWeek. Very few golfers in the morning. The greens were in great shape.

We were surprised to find no food to East and no cart service. We hadn’t had breakfast or coffee. Thankfully they had small coffee maker. Very disappointing. Bring your own food and adult beverage.
