Makalei Golf Club

Great course, well maintained, beautiful settings with the wildlife abound. Wonderful staff. Have a jacket in bag as it does get cool sometimes at the higher elevation.

This is Hawaii, for goodness sake. A value at twice the price.
Thank you, GolfNow.

We watched the weather carefully, as this course is in an area that can be wet, but we were blessed with a beautiful day. Every hole at Makalei has it's own unique personality, with plenty of challenges. This is a shot-makers course and scoring will be difficult, but even if you shoot a high score, the views, peacocks, and unique features (lava tubes!), make it worth the effort. I've payed a lot more money for a lot less golf course.

excellent all the way around.. I'm not long on answers, get to the point and write it.

This is a nice course to play for the rates. It is in the mountains and has some great views. Staff was super nice. There are peacocks everywhere- they will come right up to the cart.

No houses to see, peacocks aplenty and a very mountainous track. Great course and real test to hit it straight. NO way you would ever attempt to walk it without a paramedic on standby. Keep it in the short stuff and you'll score. Let it drift and pray.

All of my expectations were exceeded. Did not know that this great of a course could exist in this area - beautiful views, very nice layout, fair and challenging. I look forward to playing again on my next trip to the area.

We enjoyed playing every hole, even driving from hole to hole , the sights were amazing.The Peacocks come right up to your card... but do not affecft your golf play at all. The Marshall is fun to chat with!

The course was in good condition for the money. Wheather was good in Oct.

This course is carved right out of the jungle. Excellent, soft greens. Beautiful setting. Tough uphill, sometimes downhill, course.

The course is located in the hills above the airport in Kona and provides a refreshing change from the resort courses. The greens are bent grass and the balls roll very well.

hawaii----ocean view on some holes--uniqoe wildlife--its hard to get better than this

The view from Makalei is magnificient. The staff is very friendly and accomodating. Playing at this course is well worth the drive.

My wife and I played Makalei five times during September 2012.

Opening three or four holes tough but fair due to extreme elevation changes, but fun if you play it smart first time through. Peacocks and goats on course very cool. Staff very laid back and friendly but still professional - very nice feel to entire experince.

The course is beautiful and is home to a large population of peacocks and other animals. There is a lot of elevation change during the round. Plenty of great views and mature forestation. The staff is very helpful and friendly.

This Course is beautiful and the temperatures during play could not be more perfect regardless of the time of year. Becuse it is nestled on a hillside the temperatures are alwys 65-75 degrees and cool. Becuase i live in Kona I have many courses to choose from but this is the course of choice for me because of the beauty, comfort and workig staff. When My friends come to visit off the mainland. There is no question wher I bring them. Makalei.

Just a short drive from the downtown Kona area, this mountainside course has plenty of peacocks to see and admire their beauty. The course is kept in great condition and the only downside is the long drive to the driving range. I would highly recommend the course to any golfer visiting the Big Island. We have played it the last three visits and enjoy it every time.

The staff was laid back yet attentive. Brand new RBZ rentals. Good range and he course was super fun. Great price for the island Course was in very good shape and peacocks were everywhere
