If you’re planning on heading out to the Kohala Coast, be sure to check out the course at Makalei Golf Club. Located on the lower slopes of Mount Hualalai, this 18-hole, championship course offers a unique, challenging layout, stunning views of the Kona coast, and an assortment of cool, distinctive features that really set this course apart from the rest!
Designed by Dick Nugent & Associates, this appealingly lush, woodland course incorporates native trees and plants alongside striking, natural geographic features – lava tubes, cinder cones, and the like – and is one of only five courses in the state with Bentgrass greens and tees. Don’t be surprised if you encounter a wild pheasant or brightly plumed peacock or two. The course is home to a variety of native birdlife.
The temperature stays fairly cool thanks to the higher elevations. Plus, it’s Hawaii, so rest assured, the weather’s terrific year round.
Multiple tees ensure both beginners and advanced players alike will enjoy themselves at Makalei. Signature holes include numbers 4, 7, 8, and the pinnacle, the par-3 15th hole where you’ll be treated to a killer view of Maui’s majestic Haleakala some 90 miles away! Stop in at the pro shop for a sweet souvenir of your visit, work on your swing at the driving range, or practice on the chipping/putting greens. Feeling peckish? Swing by Silver Oak Restaurant and try some of the local favorites.
The next time you plan a trip to the Big Island, don’t forget to stop by Makalei Golf Course for a truly memorable golf experience!
