Makalei Golf Club

The course looks like it is in transition. The pro shop is in a container while they're rebuilding their clubhouse. So no amenities outside of golfing was available. I was lucky enough to get to play with one of the gentlemen who works there. And his knowledge of the course allowed me to have a better round greatly appreciated. Tough course if you don't hit the ball straight you're going to lose him. Up and down blind shots. If you want a tough course that has great views and a lot of animals to view this is it

After playing the course, I now see why all of the pictures include peacocks and not pictures of the holes. The birds are everywhere and they are quite beautiful, but the golf course is in terrible condition. I will say the greens on the front nine are fairly good But the lack of etiquette shown by those who play this course leaves it’s Mark everywhere on this property. If someone did spend the money to bring this course back into condition, it would be An extreme test. If you love birds. This is your place, but if you love golf, I would play a different course.

I found course well maintained and challenging.

Enjoyed setting with great views and wild birds.

Lots of elevated greens.

I’m a high handicap player so this was a pretty challenging course for me, but very fun. You are always hitting either uphill or downhill. The greens on the front nine were in excellent condition. The greens on the back nine were not quite as good but still playable. I would definitely play here again.

We have played this course over many years and found it to be above average. However, this year the fairways, tee boxes and greens were in very poor condition. It would appear there is no maintenance taking place. No ball washers at all. I would not recommend not play here again.

I really enjoyed playing the course and was definitely a good value bioked through GolfNow. The course is definitely not in great shape but greens are playable and the layout was a lot of fun I thought. The wildlife on the course was spectacular which would draw me back for another round. Lots of peacocks, turkeys, all sorts of birds. And the course was not that busy so I was able to take lots of time to watch the peacocks strut there stuff. Was overall a fun day on the course. The pro shop/starter staff were extremely friendly and welcoming as well

Makakei needs some help as a course badly. No club house as they are in building permit purgatory. Temporary club house gets the job done. Temporary bathrooms by the main club house are excellent for what they are. Driving range is very meh but does includes some found balls in you bucket of range balls.

Overall, if you go in with knowing it’s going to be a 5-hr round with a bunch of driving between holes then you should have a great time. Also there are a ton of wild peacocks plus a few chickens just ranging around.
