I thoroughly enjoyed Makalei Golf Club! Amazing holes! Launching the ball up and down beautiful hills. Breathtaking views. Challenging throughout! I'm grateful for this unique experience overlooking Kona. Wow!

Staff are lovely, no question! However I cannot in good conscience recommend this course. It is poorly maintained, there is a lot of clover so you’ll lose a lot of balls and our golf cart started to kick in and out around 16. This mountain course is unique and challenging with a lot of potential with a major infusion of capital. If you decide to play there just bring a lot of junk balls. 😂 peacocks can be aggressive if they think you’re going to feed them… don’t.

Course was a lot different than we’ve had ever played on before. Staff is great a beautiful peacocks it did rain a little bit where we’re on the course. Definitely need a golf cart. Lotta hills would absolutely go back again.

Great track. Greens were perfect. Course is not maintained at top notch level, however the course is fun to play. You get what you pay for.

The worst imaginable staff. One golf cart staff was unaware of policy for bird watching and sent us to long line at the pro shop. No staff could see our obvious camera, scope and binocular gear to watchbirds. When we got to the cashier he asked what we wanted to do. We replied just watch birds in any way that was safe and out of the way. And would pay golf course fees. No, we don't allow that, he replied and gave no reasons. Of course I would never golf there and will never go there again.
