Good golf, great scenery !
Princeville Makai is a well-designed and beautifully maintained course on the North Shore cliffs of Kauai, and a good golf experience in an amazing natural setting.
Good challenges, with lots of bunkers, water on several holes, and unmatched scenes of the surf below the cliff top lay-out. Winding through beautiful , lush, tree-lined fairways, the Makai course has 6-7 holes on the edge of the Pacific.
We saw whales, sea-birds, rolling surf, and wonderful vistas. Good service from a friendly and flexible staff. It is between $100 and $180 for green fees, and we paid $59 for club rental of a complete Callaway set and a half-dozen balls.
Course renovations make the course more challenging
I've played this course a few times and have played it one other time since the renovations. The silica sand bunkers stand out and give the holes better definition than before. The views of the ocean, the St. Regis hotel in the background (hole #3),, some whale watching on the back nine all make this course a beauty to play. And booking it through GolfNow makes it an even better deal. Thanks GolfNow.
Great course and great views
This course has wide fairways for the average golfer and plenty of hazards for those that play aggressively. The greens roll true and the bunkers are consistent. Regardless of how your game is going the views of the mountains and ocean are fantastic.
Great course with some beautiful views
Don 't miss playing if you are in the Princeville area!
Beautiful layout and fun to play.
Golf now had a great value and it was worth every penny of it. Wide fairways, maintained beautifully. On each 9 there is ocean view holes and was fun to play. Driving range was good, and close to clubhouse. Paired up with 2 locals and had a great time.
The course conditions were the best I have ever played. I am a weekend hacker who plays on public courses though.
The course has a handful of holes with excellent views of the island and the water. However, If I were to go back this would not be my first choice. It was challenging for my skill level.
Good condition
Course was in good condition, esp the greens were great. Interesting course, some good holes, some bad but I think it is overpriced for the area. Not the usual customer relations which I have seem at other courses in Kauai.
Possibly my favorite course in Hawaii
When I think Hawaii golf, my mind first turns to the Makai. Though minutes from the Prince, Makai is a little more resort-friendly but delivers some of the best oceanfront holes in Hawaii. What's also cool is that each nine has oceanfront holes. The recent renovation gives the course some of the best playing conditions on Kauai too. Coupled with a stay at the St. Regis Princeville, it doesn't get much better on the islands.
Makai - great layout, great greens, some holes need maintenance
Overall, a great layout. Very difficult with the wind. There were a number of holes that were not in good shape due to rain and poor drainage - playable but not what you expect when you are paying $150 to play. Greens were great. Bunkers very good. I enjoyed the course but it costs more than Poipu and Kaua'i Lagoons that are better layouts.
Love this course
I believe it has better views than the Prince ( dont get me wrong....love the Prince as well)....saw whales spouting off......course is well maintained......the only thing i would say as a negative is the food ....given that they are affiliated to the St Regis, i would have thought they would have a better selection. Nevertheless....one of my fav's and must plays in Hawaii.
An 11handicap with 4 birdies so who's complaining
The course was in excellent condition. Great experience. Not a lot of play when I was there so the pace was great. I thought it was pricey for the experience but I guess that's Hawaii
Gorgeous resort golf, high value for money
service was superior from the start - it is clear the staff is there to please and to make you want to come back. course condition is outstanding from practice green and range throughout all 18 holes. some of the views are phenomenal- it's incredible to feel like you are playing right into the ocean side. lots of beautiful bunkers that create the biggest challenges to the course.
Beautiful course in excellent condition
I rated the course value as average because while it was a bit pricey for me, it reflects the superb conditioning and great service. The course has some great risk/reward teasers, some real knee-knocker par threes, and some very subtle sloping on many greens, but everything is right in front of you with no tricked up features or hidden hazards. Sorry I only got to play it once this trip.
Scenic, good greens
Course has several holes playing into or along the ocean making for great scenery. Greens were rolling true and are well maintained. Challenging but not necessary tough course. Wind is a factor as in any other course on the island. Good cause for both high and low handicappers.
Course was in overall great shape. Only issue was that it does not drain well compared to other causes I played in Kauai under same conditions. I was also disappointed in the clubhouse but thats not why i play golf...
If you want a challenging course, play the Prince course for the similar price... If you just want to enjoy a leisurely round without the headaches, play Makai. Both have great scenery... Both are great courses.
Great views of the ocean. #7 is a awesome par 3.
They did a great job on the renovation. The course was in great shape. The new greens and sandtraps are wonderful. If you are in Kauai and looking for a place to play try the Makai course.
This course has great vistas and beautiful ocean views while challenging even the best players.
My wife and I like to play this course several times when we stay in the Princeville area. It is scenic and challenging. The course can be challenging from longer tees and yet fair and forgiving enough for reasonable golf shots. From the longer tees, there are a fair amount of jungle and water distractions that you need to keep your focus. We enjoy the warmth and beauty this course offers.
A must play course in Kauai!
This course was my golf highlight on Kauai. From customer service to panoramic views, Princeville Makai is incredible. Customer care is paramount in this course and is something ALL courses should emulate no matter the stature... after all, golfers are the customers.
Great Course
This is a very picturesque course which can be distracting and depending on what your in the mood for difficulty wise you can play this course from as long as 7,223yds which makes some of the ocean carries very difficult. Definitely a must play!
nice course, nice carts, great ocean views, typical Hawai'i prices.
located in the best area of Kaua'i. challenging. great scenery. the new greens are superb.
One of the best!
What a wonderful course! Since the renovation a couple of years ago the course has been immaculately maintained. I'm a 90's golfer and enjoy playing this course. Not too difficult but challenging nonetheless. The ocean views on holes 3, 6, 7, 13, 14 and 15 are unmatched and will take your breath away. Especially #3, an elevated par 3 looking down to Hanalei Bay.
What lacking here is a decent clubhouse and restaurant. The staff is very friendly. This is my home course so I play it frequently.
