Makani Golf Club

The course layout is challenging for being shorter. Greens are in excellent shape. Great mountain views.

Out of the way, locals and people like me who dont want to spend $200 a round everyday play here. Lack of rain dries out some fairways. Clubhouse is nothing but a fun course to play. #17 island hole is a hoot to play and watch others get wet.

Staff are very friendly. Pace of play was okay.

Course is in okay shape. Good layout. Greens are very tricky.

Playing again this week at Makani.

I have played this course a number of times over the years the years but found it in the worst condition that I have ever seen it Regretted buying more than one round.

Makani is a very affordable course on the Big Island. Greens are fast. Fairways are dry despite getting a fair amount of rain from being up in the mountains.

This course is played a lot by the locals and generally is pretty solid 4-4.5 hrs pace of play.

The course is beautiful but could use a little clean up care on some holes

Course is pretty and has some interesting holes. Number 17 island green and challenging finishing hole. Clubhouse amenities are pretty sparse. A good alternative to the expensive resort courses.

Course needs some attention. For the price you would expect better conditions. Tee boxes very dry but ok because you are using a tee but fairways harder to shoot off straw like grass. Very busy and no organization of groups. So many twosomes that should be paired up to increase pace which was brutally slow. No bathroom mid way on front 9 which is tough as u need to be drinking lots of water. Says no outside food or drink but there isn't anything I could see available for purchase. On the rustic end of the scale. But lots of challenge and nice views. I wouldn’t not recommend it to anyone but with a caveat of what to expect.

Great layout, fair price, super staff.

Needs water and some TLC

The course was in terrible shape with rutted fairways and unmowed greens. They've had lots of rain and can't keep up but even so, it was just terrible. Sad because the layout is interesting and fun to play but no longer. I heard there are new owners; maybe that we'll help but for now don't waste your time or money.
