A great course for our first time out this year!

Great play for early April! Course was still in great shape considering not being closed all winter long and with all the rain we’ve had so giving it a higher rating there. Decent amount of golfers out there but no one breathing down our necks. Club house guys were great, everyone was happy.

Tough layout and great conditions for a metro parks course

Course this tough needs a driving range but great time. Played tips and shot 76 as a 3.4 handicap. Very tough test.

Fun and Challenging Course

Great metroparks course that is well maintained with manicured fairways, soft greens, and clean tee boxes. Pace of play was excellent.

A bit overrated

The course is nice, but $75 for 2 and a cart to play 9 felt like a lot considering its a public metropark course. Greens were tough, course was in fairly good condition, but for the money I would expect a little more…

No Mention of Sandy Greens

When you book a course as well know and challenging as Manakiki you do not want the surprises of sandy greens after punching when you drive 40 min to get there. If I would have known I would have choose a different course to play. Completely disappointed!!!

You are not real bright. Lots of courses punch greens that time of year. Did you call & ask about course conditions?? Idiot

Great Course - Suffers from being too hard for Bad Golfers

This course is fantastic! Its challenging, yet fair. However, it suffers from slow play, due to 20+ handicappers playing from too far back and not having the skill to take on the course. If you can get out without a crowd this is the best of the Metropark courses IMO - but expect a 5-6hr round on a sunny Saturday.

Long But Fun

Still one of the nicest courses around. Recently aerated so greens are bumpy. At least 3 par 4's should be made par 5's. They are unreachable in 2. Pace wasn't bad for a Sunday.

Which Par 4's? It sounds like you should be playing from tee's that are further up. The Tips aren't even 7k and their are 5900, 6100, and 6600 tees.

Poor greens ☹️

Sadly, we were not made aware of the heavy green maintenance. Punched, and 7 were freshly sanded.
It’s very necessary work, but a heads up would have allowed us to make a better decision. Very disappointing round.

Great layout decent condition limited service

First time playing this course from out of town on a Friday mid day tee time. Course is beatiful to look at, fun layout classic Donald Ross design. The greens are running fast and true, but some greens are under repair but still playable. Fairways are decent, soft and not a lot of roll. Rough is overall decent but challenged at places. Bunkers are deccent and playable, but sand is rather hard packed. The staff is very friendly. Club house only has limited service, and drive range does NOT have range balls. Overall still recommend this course highly. Will be coming back in the future.
