Mountainside

Had an 1130 teatime yesterday. Went out a few minutes early after the second hole we met up with a nice bunch of young guys from Idaho. Finished the round out with them. Had a great time courses in really good shape grains are pretty fast. A lot of water hazards. We had a great time.

Course review

Staff was very friendly. Clubhouse was in a tent structure and somewhat "makeshift. Course condotion were average - some brown and dirt patches. It was under aeration and 20 % off green fees wasn't enough

Need water & maintenance

Very poor condition course, although the greens were above average. Hard to justify spending over $50 per round.

I enjoyed the course layout— forgiving fairways and bunkers. The rough is “rough” and creeps into the fairways in places, so some good drives end up with bad lies. Greens top-notch. Staff friendly and helpful.

Makani Didn't Disapoint

Loved the layout. Staff was great. Minimal snacks but that's not why we came. Tee boxes a little scruffy but not big deal. Will play again.

More attention could be paid by the Starter. He starter put out two Six-somes in front of two two-somes. The marshall had to break up the larger groups after 7 holes. The course is lovely, challenging and much fun.
