Maui's Makena Golf Course is a championship Robert Trent Jones Jr. design with Pacific Ocean and mountain views amidst volcanic rock.
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.
Makena Golf Course was formerly the "North" course at Makena when the next door South was open as well. The South is currently closed for renovations and is expected to open nine holes in 2010.

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.
