Big Island Country Club (Makani Golf Club) Tee Times

The course was decent overall, but it would really benefit from additional watering and improved maintenance. Some areas felt a bit neglected, which took away from the overall experience. With a little more attention to detail, this could be a really enjoyable place to play.

Nice course and staff overpriced club rentals. I chose the more expensive Cleveland clubs to rent. Driver light as a feather had to switch to the 3 wood which was much better off the tee. No sand wedge which was ridiculous. Luckily my local playing partner let me use his when needed. Also, no towel provided with club rentals. Definitely not worth the . cost was bitter off renting the lower cost Titlelist set which I later found out had a sand wedge. My advice is to just rent the Titleist. Had a great time regardless.

Enjoyable experience while on the big island. A bit more expensive than what I was expecting since many sites pointing to the course indicated that a small bucket of balls was included. I rented clubs and no game balls were included (many club rentals I've done come with game balls, usually two sleeves). This is my first Hawaiian course play. Course was in decent shape, fairways had plenty of carry. The greens were fair. Staff was quite helpful. Not as much ocean scenery along the course as some of the marketing leads one to believe. The course is fun to play with plenty of dog legs, undulating fairways. Your first time playing I recommend a course map app so you can see hidden obstacles.

Slightly out of touch golf place. The pro shop is run down and hot as ever. There was a giant line with the two women working at the pro shop and the one person decides now is a great time to tally up the value of all of the coins in the register blowing 5 minutes at 6 groups are trying to check in. The people who give you the carts were gentlemen and scholars total opposite. The course is fun challenging and has some incredible views. Hole 17 is amazing with the green on an island!

First time here but won't be my last. Absolute hidden gem with cool temperatures and great views in the high country. Only 6600 yards from the tips but can be challenging if you're not hitting 'em straight. Jim the starter and the rest of the staff were great. Looks like there's a lot of work and improvements going on as the lake on 18 was drained and being worked on. Their signature island hole on 17 was picture perfect. No beverage cart so stock up in the pro shop. As far as my round, I was conservative never played there before hitting a mix of irons, 3 wood and driver off the tee on par 4's which paid off with my best round ever. Greens were punched and a bit slow but rolled true as firm strokes netted me a 26 for the round. Good luck and have fun!
