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.

Scenic stretch of holes along the ocean from 15-17. Overall felt the layout was pretty forgettable but had an oddly high number of short par 4’s. Hate the no walking allowed policy.

Some of the best views in the world on a challenging layout. Greens were a bit hairy, but tee-green it is fun and strategic. Wide fairways with some slope don’t punish too much, but playing from back, there are some demanding approach shots. Overall very enjoyable.
