Makalei Golf Club is a breathtakingly beautiful golf course on the western slopes of Hualalai Mountain on Hawai‘i Island. Designed by Dick Nugent & Associates, the course reflects the raw, natural beauty of the island, incorporating native forests, mountain slopes and unique volcanic features such as lava tubes and cinder cones. It is some the finest in Kona golf.

“Makalei has the best overall vistas of any course on the Kailua side,” says This Week Big Island General Manager Ed Chung. “And it has bent grass greens, which is unusual for Hawai‘i.”

Makalei offers challenging play for golfers of all levels, with multiple tees that can extend the course from 5,242 yards to a championship length of 7,091 yards.

Golf shop on the premises and club rentals available.
