Makalei Golf Club

Course is absolutely awesome, greens are solid, fairways need some work but overall a great phu-Ken course the views spectacular looks like course is in middle of a jungle a definite course to play when on the big island

Fairways need help it’s like playing in a field that was just mowed greens are almost perfect

I played here just the other day and it is just an amazing golf course. The layout is fantastic, practice putting greens roll similar to the greens on course, and the scenery around the golf course is absolutely amazing.

However when I played it the fairways were almost non existent, it was like the entire course was just a cut of rough. Obviously they haven’t mowed the fairways for quite some time and are a little over do for it.

The greens were very nice however rolling smooth and quick. Just the fairways were not so nice.

Crazy jungle course with lots of elevation changes and nice greens. Good value for the money, have to be a decent golfer to keep score. Bring balls and enjoy the wildlife.

This course looks like it was hacked out of the jungle. Fairways challenging but interesting. With a lot of work they can turn this into a world class course

This course is sometimes in the clouds but always a challenge and wonderful mountain forest views! Every par 3 was tough and a joy, I really enjoy this course and will return to play with friends and relatives. All the wild peacocks and other birds were a bonus. Bring a camera.

Fairways are in fair to bad condition. The Course is well laid out. Lots of vertical rise /drop. Greens were very nice. Only outhouses on the Course. Highlight of the course are the peacocks that come up to visit. Chickens too.

Never played this course before, unique experience. Wanted to try it because the round was less than most other courses within driving distance. Surprised that they insist on collared shirts in this day and age when televised events show player earning millions in T-shirts on the course while being televised in official events. So I ended up with a new shirt. You have to admire the guys for hacking this course pretty much out of the jungle. The fairways are challenging and you better be precise or you will lose balls. There is a ton of work left to do but if they do it right, this could be one of the nicest golf courses in the country.

Makalei was an interesting and challenging course. The bent grass greens are challenging but fun. The fairways are in need of work but not horrible. The layout will definitely challenge for golfers of all levels. We will definitely play this course again while we're on the island.

Makalei was fun to play! Cooler because it’s in the hills,. Great layout, some pretty views, and so much wildlife! We’ve never seen so many peacocks!,,

The course need work. Greens are good but the fairways are full of weeds. I’m hoping this is a temporary problem because of Covid. Their clubhouse and pro shop are soon the be upgraded, which is a big steep in the right direction. We’ll play again when we come back.

Fairways were firm and greens were soft so very playable. Greens were in good shape but fairways and teeing ground had a lot of broadleaf weeds making for some awkward lies. Lots of peacocks as always and even a few wild turkeys.

Lloyd and Larry did a great job from check in to start.

Course had been plugged and Sanded on the greens.

.fairway was cut and clean .

Over all great course , will play again and will tell

Friends to check it out .

Scenery was spectacular on the course.

Greens were just plugged and sanded but still made for a

Great Day.

Check in with Lloyd and starter with Larry were

Exceptional ( very nice to talk with and knowable)

Will play here again when we come back

In a sea of courses with prices over $100, this was a nice gem. The conditioning had some issues. The fairway wasn't bad, but if you strayed off the fairway, it got a little rugged. But the greens were in good shape. The best feature is the location. On the top of a mountain, the views were great. They had plenty of space to work with. No two holes were close. Don't try to walk this course! A challenging layout. If you don't hit it straight, you're in the jungle. Just a great course to play for the money.
