About
Malakei Golf Club wanders through a colorful landscape of indigenous flora and fauna, providing a home to a variety of wildlife including peacocks, pheasants, and wild turkey. Situated in the Kona region of Hawaii, which is widely renowned for its coffee farms, the course offers dramatic elevation changes that range from 1,800 to 2,850 feet. The golf course plays through lush forests accented with lava tubes, cinder cones, and an ancient stone wall that dates back over a century. The fast bentgrass greens, rolling fairways, and cooler climate are reminiscent of a course in northern California but the stunning panoramic views will definitely remind you that you are in Hawaii. Malakei Golf Club's 15h hole is a signature hole thanks to its memorable scenery. It not only offers an incredible view of Maui's 10,000-foot Mount Haleakala, it is also your best chance for a hole in one.

Beautiful approach on Par 5 Photo submitted by Pete1444216 on 11/10/2012
Mountain course with wonderful staff
Great course on an excellent weather day and I was impressed by all of the staff interactions. Got paired up with a couple of regulars and they helped navigate me around the course, pointing out lines and where ideally not to miss. Lots of elevation and so severe downhill, and uphill, holes and so that made it interesting and fun. Greens were excellent and actually had less break than I accounted for. Tees and fairways were fine, but overall had bare spots in places but my play wasn't really affected. Trailer for a pro shop and so light on the amenities, but that is of low priority for me. Good guide book as well and scorecard had pin locations for 1/2/3 sections. Would definitely play again. Hot deal with GolfNow was excellent but even with regular rates this is a good deal on the island.
Middle Earth
Beautiful, lush landscape. Lots of fowl and wildlife. Tricky, challenging slopes . Unlike resort golf terrain, so definitely worth a visit
God awful
This used to be a fun local tract but the conditions are so bad without a major upgrade we will not be back.
Spend your money elsewhere!
Under repair
We have played on several occasions over the years with pleasure. Under new repairs but still a very beautiful place with fun peacocks and mountain to ocean views! Our old legs are feeling it!
Interesting and beautiful course
It's an interesting and beautiful course. It's a bit inconvenient to use the restroom, but the course is fantastic. It would be nice to have a tool to clean the ball.
