Makani Golf Club

The higher elevation course is about 5 to 10 degrees cooler than the Waikoloa coast.

I enjoy 1/3 of the holes having a higher elevated box. Scenery and wild life makes your round relaxing. Pace of play at 11 pm on Monday was excellent.

No beverage cart service on course but you can buy beverages in the club house. Golf carts fairly new but no GPS in carts.

Greens were a little fast. Fairways in good condition. Only drawback is that it is a 30 minute drive from Waikoloa resort area. I believe it is worth the drive. Every time on the Big Island I play this course, Kona Country Club and Waikoloa Beach/Lakes courses for best value. Mauna Kea another favorite along with Hapuna which are $$$

Few jokes with dogleg punishing winds end of round on island home and 18

The 17th hole is a killer! Challenging but fun course, and the people there were great to work with. We came back 2 more times that week!

The fairways are in very bad condition. Many times, you'll be hitting off hardpan as there are bare spots---lots of them---through out the course.

Very challenging yet satisfying to play! Course conditions were excellent- well kept

First time playing at Makani. Previously we usually play at the various resort seaside courses. Makani is more inland and a little drive from Waikaloa Beach. The course is very Big Island scenic. Many fairways are undulating and challenging. Lots of tee box choices so it’s playable by most different levels of skill. Would definitely come back to play on our next visit to Kona.

The course is nice and value for the money. The carts are great, have ball washers and coolers on them -- water is provided at the outset.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Only thing to note -- there is no restaurant at the course, only snacks and sandwiches available. But this is a minor concern.

Overall, a good day of golf in Hawaii!!

Course in pretty good shape, fairways could use some more watering on several holes. No marshal 🙁

Played behind a slow fivesome so didn’t finish round had to skip some holes to get home for dinner.

I really enjoy the course and I played it for many years even tried to get on the island on the 17th hole and made it three times

Another very enjoyable round of golf. It’s my favorite course on the big island.

Makani is one of my favorite courses on the Big o. The course is very picturesque and well maintained. The staff are friendly , knowledgeable and accommodating. It’s always a pleasure to play here.

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.
