Makena Golf Course

Makena, HI · 0.3 mi away

Makena Golf Course, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., is a testament to his philosophy of integrating golf within complex coastal resort environments. This 36-hole championship destination on Maui is renowned for its dramatic terrain, featuring undulating landscapes, lush fairways, and abundant ocean views. Jones Jr.'s design emphasizes strategic play, utilizing the natural contours and hazards to create a challenging yet fair test of golf. The course's signature 14th hole, a lengthy par-5 playing 620 yards, is a memorable feature, demanding precision and power. The layout seamlessly blends with the natural surroundings, offering a truly immersive Hawaiian golf experience. Makena's combination of stunning scenery, strategic design, and a challenging yet enjoyable round makes it a must-play for discerning golfers.

Wailea Golf Club Gold

Kihei, HI · 1.7 mi away

Our highest-ranked course of the three at the Wailea Golf Club, the Gold course is a Robert Trent Jones Jr. design on Maui’s southwest coast. The layout has plenty of elevation changes and ocean views, especially on the front nine, which several of our course-ranking panelists have noted is the better of the two sides. The most demanding course of the three at Wailea from tee to green, the Gold has well-placed fairway bunkers and a few forced carries over deep ravines. Though with five sets of tees, there’s a playable option for every handicap. In the early 2000s, the course hosted the Champions Skins Game, an exhibition with some of the best players from the over-50 circuit.
