Makena North Course
If you enjoy the peaceful escape the Makena Golf Course
provides, then you’ll love the addition of the new North Course, another 18-holes of championship golf designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr.
Par: 72
Length: 6914 yds
Rating / Slope:72.1 / 139
Designer: Robert Trent Jones Jr.
Opened in 1993, the North Course goes out of its way to make golfers feel at one with their natural surroundings.

There are no distractions on this course-unless you consider the unobstructed views of the blue pacific, neighbouring islands, and humpback whales breaching during whale season to be a bit distracting. In fact, to make it feel more like a nature walk
and less like a golf course, even cart paths on the North Course are tucked away and hidden from view. You will have some obstacles to overcome, however. Natural Hawaiian rock
walls are left right where they were found, and they play an integral part in the course design. Natural
gullies and streambeds are also left intact. |

Makena South Course
The South Course boasts one of Hawaii’s top driving holes, the par-5 number ten. According to members of the PGA Aloha Section, number ten was selected as one of the top par 5’s in Hawaii.
Par: 72
Length: 6739 yds
Rating / Slope:72.6 / 138

Sharing the same spirit that embodies the Makena Resort

the South Course also provides the serenity and tranquility many golfers are looking for. It’s not to say that the course doesn’t provide quite a measure for golfers of every level. It certainly does. But it’s remote setting and well-spaced tee times make the South Course a favorite of many Maui golfers.
It’s no wonder. Nestled between a view of the Puu Olai cinder cone to the west and the clubhouse with the Ulupalakua Ranch in the background on the east, the tenth hole is a long 502 yards. The proximity to the ocean is exactly why this course is so special. Besides having two oceanfront holes, numbers fifteen and sixteen, the South Course also affords an excellent view of humpback whales that visit here each winter. And since they keep
coming back year after year, they must be on to something good! |
