Makena South Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Makena South Course for ideal conditions?

You'll find Makena South offers fantastic conditions year-round, but we recommend visiting during the shoulder seasons-late spring or early fall. The weather is consistently beautiful, but you'll avoid the peak holiday crowds and potentially snag better tee times. Expect warm, sunny days with a gentle breeze, perfect for a memorable round.

How much should I expect to pay for a round at Makena South, and is it worth the premium?

Let's be direct-Makena South is a premium experience, and the green fees reflect that. You're paying for immaculate conditions, breathtaking ocean views, and a truly unforgettable layout. We absolutely think it's worth the splurge for a bucket-list round; it's an investment in an unparalleled golf day, not just 18 holes.

Is Makena South Course suitable for all skill levels, or is it a particularly challenging track?

Makena South offers a fair challenge, but it's remarkably playable for golfers of all abilities thanks to its multiple tee boxes. While the ocean breezes and strategic bunkering demand thoughtful shots, the generous fairways give you room to breathe. Don't let the stunning scenery distract you from the tricky greens-they're where the real test lies.

What are the must-see holes or signature views at Makena South Course?

You absolutely cannot miss the stretch from holes 10 through 14, which hug the coastline and offer jaw-dropping Pacific Ocean vistas. The par-3 14th, playing directly towards the ocean, is a true postcard moment you'll want to savor. Keep an eye out for humpback whales breaching during winter months-it's an incredible bonus.

What's the post-round experience like at Makena South, and are there any unique amenities?

After your round, head straight to the clubhouse lanai for a well-deserved drink and some pupus. The views from there are just as spectacular as on the course, making it the perfect spot to relive your best shots. Don't forget to browse the pro shop; they have some unique Makena-branded gear you won't find anywhere else.
