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.
