About Makani Golf Club
Makani sits up on the lower slopes of Hualalai above the Kohala Coast, and the altitude is the point: the course promises cooler air and lighter winds than the resort courses down by the water, with views of five mountains and the ocean. The ground is rolling and planted with tropical trees, and you look out to sea from different heights as the round goes on.
Perry Dye designed it as a par 72 with five sets of tees. The fairways are wide, but water is in play on nine of the 18 holes, and the finish is what people remember. The 17th is Dye's island green, which the club happily compares to the 17th at Sawgrass. The course used to be called Big Island Country Club, and you'll still see that name around.
It's one of 12 courses Yoink watches in the Big Island area, and the closest alternative is Waikoloa Golf Club - Beach Course, about 7 miles away — handy when your first choice is booked solid.
