Makalei Golf Club

The course is beautiful and the peacocks were mating!

The greens are in great shape.

Scenic course with view to the ocean. Lots of peacocks to keep you entertained while we waited between holes. Pace of play is OK, lots of single and twosome players. The course layout is fun, has some tight fairways and very hilly. Course condition is fine.

Very pour lay out. Very pour condition. Bunkers had no sand. Fairways had bare spots. No club house and no bathrooms.

You get what you pay for. Greens are very good and difficult to avoid three putts.

Condition of fairways are indicative of cost to play. If they were imas good a condition as the greens it would be priced much higher.

I like playing the course. Very challenging.

We had no data and course had no yardage markers.

Lucky I had scope in bag. But excellent hole by hole booklet.

Fairways were Weedy. Trees and sand had been removed compared to book.

Be prepared for different weather compared to lower Kona.

Everything was great, Course seems to be in a jungle, many peacocks, much elevation change, the only negative was we were told the course closes at 530 and we ushered off the course. Sunset is about 7pm, so this made no sense. In fact, I was in the fairway on 18, would have finished in 5-10 minutes. :(

Nicest folks, good price - $40 on GolfNow. But the birds are so crazy. Peacocks on every hole along with parakeets, turkey, etc. that the golf is almost secondary - though it’s more than okay.

This course isn't for everyone however if youre up for a physical challenge, love wildlife, unique layouts and a challenge to your course management, this is for you. Staff is awesome.

This is a very unique course, be ready for a lot of angles and weird lies. The staff was extremely friendly and very easy to talk to. They had great advice on how to play the course. Weather is cooler due to higher elevation. The wildlife is pretty cool too.

To love this course like I do, you must appreciate a challenge. It’s Mountainside layout provides beautiful vistas and each hole requires a unique application of skill and strategy to achieve a good score.

Very unique coarse. Every hole is separate from all others Lush landscape, great views , lots of wildlife. A fun coarse to play. Some of the fairways were were a little rough and the traps are mostly sodded in. But that’s ok. I’m not PGA material so I didn’t need extra difficulty. Greens were in good shape. Enjoyed playing here more than Mauna Kea.

Great course with some challenging holes and some stunning wildlife.
