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
We love the course layout. Everything is a little in disrepair.. fun place to play though.
They Are Not Even Trying!
What a shame. Knee high weeds on the tee boxes. terrible fairways.....Appears to be no attempt to maintain a true golf course. A real dump.....$100 for visitors and you expect better. Avoid this place the conditions of the course stink.
I will never go again
I would never go again even if I am paid for it. In every measure, this is the worst.
Great place
Course was fun & beautiful. Staff super nice! Great experience! Definitely going back!
Wet and Windy
Unfortunately played on a very rainy day and got drenched. My third time playing this course. Very little room for error on the fairways. If OB very difficult to find your balls due to tall grass and trees and such. Accuracy is a must on this course.
Golfing in the clouds
This is a very challenging course with lots of ups and downs. Greens were good fairways are narrow and rough is high. Lost lots of balls but found lots of balls. Semi crowded. Good golf carts and good rental clubs. Very friendly staff. I even enjoyed all the birds: geese, turkeys and especially the peacocks. Then rain was warm.
Pace of Play
I was all by myself on the front 9; however, I caught up with a couple who were extremely slow on the back 9.
Otherwise, everything else was nearly perfect.
Great course
If you have a chance to play up here, take it! This is a challenging course with narrow fairways and very deep roughs. But the elevation changes are incredible as well are the views. Another amazing thing to see are all of the birds and other animals that you might see on the course. Make sure you play early because at higher elevations you'll see dense fog and possibly heavy rain in the afternoons.
This is a great course, but plan to play early.
This is a beautiful course that has amazing views and great golf. It almost always rains in the afternoon but that's a risk worth taking. Also plan to bring extra balls because it's a very woodsy place and plenty of rough to spare.
It's also fun to stop at Matsuyama Store to grab Pizza after a round.
Great wild life
Great layout very fun it can be a Little wet at times but lots of fun
Cow pasture
This course was probably great at one time, but it looks like it hasn’t been maintained in 15 years. On your vacation go ply somewhere else, this place will just disappoint.
