Played here 1/31/24. Love the layout! Many upcountry and coastline views. Requires strategy and execution. Lots of uneven lies. A few blind shots but even more if you don’t keep the ball in play in th... Continue »

Played the 23rd of November, just getting around to writing this. Great course and really fun with a much different vibe than most courses on the big island. Course is in good shape from tee to gree... Continue »

I played here last Tuesday, first out; paid about $129 with range balls. They would not let me out until at least 7 a.m. The starter was nice, but in no hurry. I got out ahead of the other golfers as ... Continue »

I play this course at least two times when on the Big Island because it is different (2500 ft. above sea level) and I love the layout. It 10 degrees cooler up here and the views are great. I was firs... Continue »

Now called Makani Golf Club. They've been doing fairway and lake renovation but it's clear that the fairways will never be great...too many bear dirt spots and grass that looks more like weeds spread... Continue »

Ok, I lied it's 30 minutes from Waikoloa Village but worth the drive anyway. Shot 44 on the front :( and 37 on the back :). I don't know who showed up to play the back but I like him.

I love this course! Played on 12/5. It is like no other course on the island. Up about 2500 to 3000 ft. with views of Maui and Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. The course is in great shape and more then wort... Continue »

Pretty typical Big Island conditions this trip. Tees shaggy and some level spots, Fairways surprisingly nice, greens splotchy but roll pretty well and hold most approach shots, Bunkers need some love... Continue »

Love the layout and at 2500 feet above sea level it's about 12 degrees cooler. The other thing is it's about half the price of the resort courses down the hill. The course is in very good shape and fu... Continue »
