Makalei Golf Club

I have to echo previous sentiments that this course is in really bad shape.

Greens are in horrible shape. Teeboxes are a disaster (played the whites) and the bunkers (devoid of rakes for the most part) haven't been cared for by maintenance in what appears to be months?! There are actually bunkers and areas under construction with no forewarning. Glad I didn't land my fairway shot on that bulldozer!!

The good. The fairways are looking and playing well. The staff is great and very courteous. The ocean views are still present and won't let you down! Beautiful! The temps are always a relief from other lowland courses.

Don't pay more than the hot deal or you're probably better off playing a little more for Hapuna or BICC.

p.s. Curse you 12 and 13!! I'll be back for you!

Not much in the way of positive feedback. From the start received two bottles of water with no ice for the cooler. Driving range in need of maintenance (only worn grass or mats to hit from). The Starter was very pleasant and offered good advice for playing. Then proceeded to play a 5+ hour round waiting on each hour 5-15 minutes. Highlights were the views on some of the holes and the peacocks. Normally would look forward to playing, but will pass until improved conditions.

This is Hawaii golf . Amazing views . Wildlife abounds . Cool staff . A must play for any level of golfers. It is super chill might have to do some passing of slower players but easily accomplished. Great course layout .

Weather was the issue. When you go, check the weather, it rained hard and I was in the clouds so couldn't see the fairways or the greens. Would love to play this course in the sunshine!

Weather was great so we chose the opportunity to play this course. It’s going through a remodel so things are somewhat crazy. The course it self is extremely challenging and the terrain will beat you up. Was not a fan of the current layout. When you finished on 18 you then traveled past 2-3 holes to get back to the parking area which meant you were passing others playing those holes. The value of the “hot deal” made it worth trying, would never pay there normal rate to play again. Wife loved the peacocks!!🦚

One of the worst courses I’ve ever played. No course maintenance, rough conditions. The only part of the day that was worth. The peacocks!

driving through a rain forest to get there...assortment of hills and un-seen greens....qit when the rain got too bad

Course in better shape than previous 5 years. Still a lot of hog damage. It would be nice if the golfers repaired their ball marks on the greens.

I played this course for less than $100 dollars (with cart and club rental!). Fantastic mountainside views of ocean from 3,000 feet and a lush tropical setting. Most holes up or downhill with lots of side hill lies, but generous landing areas and fair. Bent-grass greens were hard to read but good and true. No amenities yet, but building new clubhouse. PEACOCKS! (beware wild pig fairway damage-drop GUC)

I played this course with club rental for well under $100. Elevation changes of 1000' plus bottom to top, but up and down most holes were wide enough. (Jungle=Gone). Bent grass greens were hard to read, but smooth and fast. The Views were great and PEACOCKS! FUN and fast.
