Makani Golf Club

We had fun playing this course. There were many unique and challenging holes, especially the 17th island green. The course offered a few distant views of the ocean and coastline. Conditions were dry and fast; however, the greens still rolled slower than anticipated, especially uphill putts. Super friendly staff, and the course was not busy at all.

Very enjoy golf course,I played it three times in a row in one week.

The course layout and views were great.

Course conditions were pretty bad, especially for the price.

Eeach hole is difarent ,very enjoyed.No17 is to bad.

Hard packed dry fairways, bunkers that haven’t seen a rake in days, dirty and damaged rental clubs, no amenities and marginally friendly staff.

Loved the layout and the greens were decent, would truly enjoy it if they put a bit of love into it.

Makati is a great layout and a good test of golf. Greens were hard and fast. The fairways were bare and hard. Whole course needs water. Great staff.

I really love this course. We come every December to play golf on the Big Island and this is always a mainstay. Much cheaper than the resort courses and it's a great course. Wide variety of holes and views. The course is a bit dry in some places but the greens are good the course is very playable. There are wild turkeys and lots of birds!

Love the course, routing, shot requirements, and views are great. However, 3 to 4 weeks with no rain results in a very brown course that looks/ plays like there is very little grass on the fairways. I will still play the course again.

Nice course . Lovely views . A little pricey but better than resorts .

Had an opportunity to play Makani.

Arrived at the pro shop which was modest at best but we were greated by friendly staff and welcomed as valued guests. They got us out a bit early and the starter was very friendly.

Once on the course, the views were spectacular. The course layout and the holes are well designed. Recent lack of rain resulted in firm fairways and the greens were in great shape - very challenging! Pace of play was excellent.

Knowing where to hit and to miss is critical and as I do plan on playing this course again, I would play it more strategically to score better. All in all... don't pass up an opportunity to play Makani! The short drive out from Kona is also a big bonus.
