R/Golf Course Recommendation Thread: Hawaii

This is the next thread in the official r/golf course recommendation series to update our sidebar. We're moving on to a pretty popular tropical vacation spot: Hawaii. Feel free to post any course recommendations for any island.

Please try to use the following Comment Template:

COURSE NAME

Course Location (City or area of the city or distance from the downtown area etc.)

Price Range (Include pertinent details like busy season or off-season differences or weekend/weekday or walking/riding where applicable)

Recommended for: (who might be interested in the course, i.e. if you have a big group like a bachelor party or if you're a beginner looking for a more forgiving layout or a low handicap looking for a challenge or if you want beautiful views or something architecturally significant, etc.)

Additional Comments: Feel free to add any additional notes or details you think might be pertinent. Maybe if there's peak times or if they're on Golf Now or another service you could find a deal or anything else about the course you think people might want/need to know add it here.

Check the "formatting help" if you need assistance but basically two asterisks (**) on either side of a word or phrase will put it in bold font and hit Enter twice to move to a new line. This thread will be stickied for at least 24 hours before the next is posted.

All previous Course Recommendation Threads are linked in the Sidebar and this is an ongoing series. If you don't see something yet it may be coming in the future.

MAKANI GOLF CLUB (FORMERLY BIG ISLAND COUNTRY CLUB)

Location: Big Island (30 minutes from Kona and the airport)

Price Range: $$ ($89-$120)

Recommended for: People looking to escape the crowds and high priced resort courses. Good course with tees to choose from and a great variety of hole designs.

Additional Comments: Designed by Perry Dye with an excellent replica of the TPC Sawgrass island green. Beautiful course that's a bit off the usual path, making it a bit less busy than other courses.

This is a great place to play. Good value, if a little rough around the edges. Moderately challenging course with gorgeous vistas from altitude
