Princeville’s Makai Golf Club reopened on January 16 after a multi-million dollar renovation featuring redesigned greens, fairways, tee boxes and bunkers.
Designed by Robert Trent Jones, the popular Makai Course winds its way around serene lakes, native woodlands and the spectacular coastline, with views of Bali Hai and Hanalei Bay.
The course plays to a par 72 with four different sets of tees that can be stretched to more than 7,200 yards from the tips. The signature 7th hole plays to 213 yards from the back tees. It consists of a challenging tee shot over scenic cliffs onto a green surrounded by brilliant white bunkers and surreal views of the mountains and Pacific Ocean.
The practice facility has also been improved to include two large new practice tees, a practice fairway bunker, seven target greens with bunkers, a teaching tee, and short game practice complex.
The Makai Golf Course has been ranked by Golf Digest as one of Hawaii’s top courses. For more info, call (808) 826-1912 or visit www.makaigolf.com
