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.

Golfer Reviews
Beautiful views but a difficult course to walk even with cart
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
Rugged Terrain Course
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 .
Great course
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.
Jungle adventure!!!
First of all, you take what you think about a mile and a half cart ride up the mountain!!! Their driving range Gould be considered on the side of a cliff!!! Fairways have very little grass, mostly flat weeds. Pace of play would be faster if you weren’t constantly looking for your ball in the brush that lines all the fairways. And this is because most of the fairways slope and there is isn’t that longer grass to hold the ball from rolling into the brush!!! Needless to say, I would never play this course again!!!
Makalei Golf
Very nice course, long way to some holes. Lots of angled fairways, many drives down the middle end up off the fairway. Great views abound, beautiful Peacocks all over the course.
Great Course
Well laid out...several holes could be signature holes. It seemed like there was something interesting on every hole... and yet it plays fair!
Great experience for the money.
The driving range leaves something to be desired. Also, it would help to have food available after 2:00..
Diamond in the rough
Course needs some care and repair but some of the best greens I’ve played in a while. They actually held balls from high fairway shots with excellent back spin. Lots of wildlife, enjoy the peacocks,
Everyone is super friendly appreciated the pro shop, starter, Adele on the cart.
Bare bones, basic, fun round of golf be prepared to exchange some balls with the course if you’re not dead straight and even if you are…

The best layout
If you want 300m drive , you must play that course!
