Opened in 1993, Makena Golf Course in Maui's southern region is a championship Robert Trent Jones Jr. design. The course navigates around Hawaiian lava rock walls, natural streams and gullies with views of the Pacific Ocean and mountains at many points. There are four sets of tees, the championship set playing to 6,914 yards. Makena's signature 14th hole is a par 5 that plays 620 yards long, second longest in Hawaii, but downhill the whole way.

- Played this course mid-week,
mid-morning in early May last year. Was allowed to play alone. Loved the layout from the middle tees. Greens are sizeable with many pin placements. Tee shots set up for a variety of shot shapes
and are very generous. Wind was not a factor. I played Kapalua Plantation and Wailea
Gold and this was my most enjoyable round. Conditions only slightly below Wailea Gold. Friendly Staff. Can't wait to go back. - Awesome course... not extremely challenging for the serious golfers but challenging enough for the weekenders...
Extremely nice staff and views of the ocean that can't be described unless you see them for yourself, pictures just don't do it justice. If your staying in the Wailea area, this is a must.

The staff is incredible! Last year when I came in they had ice cold mango scented towels waiting. A great touch to finish a great round. I will be back in 2 weeks, first tee time the morning after I arrive. I can hardly wait!
