Makalei Golf Club

Makalei Golf Club in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii offers 18 holes, a par 72 layout, and 7,091 yards from the back tees. Perched on the upper slopes of Mount Hualalai, the course weaves native trees, lava tubes, and cinder cones into a demanding yet scenic layout.

Wildlife thrives here: wild turkey, peacocks, canaries, and native birds such as the Io hawk, Pueo owl, and I'iwi honeycreeper add color and life to your round. All prices per person include a golf cart rental. Located along Hawaii Belt Road, Makalei blends volcanic character with lush fairways for a unique, affordable Hawaii golf experience.
