    You’ll be hard pressed to find a more scenic round of golf, there are some views that will stop you dead in your tracks just to take it all in. That helps ease the pain of a hefty price tag at least.

    $350 with no food on property and a limited driving range. Had maintenance guys in every fairway bunker of the first 5 holes we played and teed off at 9:20. Besides the chaos and heavy price tag, it was a fun course.

    Makai has some enjoyable holes and is well-maintained, but compared to other notable Hawaiian tracks - like Plantation or even Mauna Lani - it feels more like a convenient “Hawaiian course by the ocean” than a truly standout experience. It’s fun. It’s relatively easy.

How we rank

This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by total yardage, then slope rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. State pages include courses across Hawaii. Rankings refresh about hourly.
