Makalei Golf Club

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO JOIN GOLFNOW TO GET OUR REFUND !

the "CHAT" doesn't work !

THIS IS UNFAIR AND it's the last time WE USE GOLFNOW

I have played here since 2013 and have been a Peacock member (great value!) since 2014 up until covid interfered with our usual on Island long stays. In the past this was a great test of golf even with sloped fairways that penalized shots that were offline and/or hooking/slicing with the slope (thinks links golf for ball roll). The par 3's are all still great tests, the par 5's are varied and good but some of the par 4's seem to be just fitted in, although the elevation changes and green layouts add to the challenge on the shorter par 4 holes. Greens are still very good, but sadly the rest of the course has not weathered well. Fairways are in tough shape and bunkers are mostly in very rough shape. We played with a "Local Rule" in our group, any ball in the bunker you could rake the bunker and roll the ball onto the raked sand before playing - this made the bunkers a none issue. WE love the wild Jungle atmosphere, the testy tee shots, killer par threes, the birds (my wife especially), the staff....we don't love the overall present condition of the course and hope that it improves in the next year or so.

Beautiful course layout in higher elevation. Some difficult holes, but a player friendly experience for sure

Great layout and terrific ocean views. Plus lots of wildlife - peacocks, turkeys, roosters, mongooses, pigs…and more I’m sure.

Greens are great, fairways could use some TLC.

Long treks between holes. Fairways not brilliant, not a lot of grass on them, difficult to strike the ball properly as they are very powdery. Extremely undulating sending good shots into heavy bushes and trees ( totally unfair). Lots of money to spend here. Greens strangely enough extremely quick although the approaches and surrounds have a lot of thick heavy leaved weeds (?), unless they are meant to be like that. Repaired no end of pitch marks.

Apparently under new ownership. My advice would be leave it off your schedule until it is brought up to date.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Course fairways in poorest conditions ever.

Course was fun and playable. Greens were great, fairways were dry and hard pan. Staff was friendly and welcoming. A little pricey due to fairway conditions.

We had a great time course is challenging mostly up hill fairway greens need grooming nice Mountain View . Thanks

The course is erratically laid out with endless drives up and down this mountainous course. The greens are in better than average shape but the fairways are splotchy and in need of some major repair. The cart paths are in need of repair. The views from the mountains are beautiful and some of the holes quite scenic but the walk from cart to green and back are difficult at times.

I just like getting out to play and this course allowed me to do that. Decent 19th hole amenities and friendly and helpful staff

We had Rain on hole number 9....but no Rain check...

Loved the layout. You travel large distances between holes. Staff was extremely friendly. Pace of play was very slow so we skipped the last couple holes .

We loved it, it was beautiful and challenging. We did lose quite a few balls, so be prepared for that if it's your 1st time. Pace of play was a little slow but all the peacocks and birds kept us pretty entertained. We got one of your hot deals so the price was a great value. Nothing fancy but a fun game of golf.
