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.

Hit that ball in the water

We had fun & enjoyed the round! The Island hole #17 was very difficult as normal due to variable from the sea.

Good course, yet

The staff are friendly, course was in good conditions. There needs to be more investment into the ProShop. Structurally the building needs work (new roof). Limited merchandise for purchase.

For the money great course

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.
