MAKENA SOUTH COURSE |
Fourth Hole
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.

Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., the South Course is a 6,739-yard, par 72 course with natural rolling fairways, undulating greens, and capitivating ocean and mountain views. |
| Fifteenth Hole |
| 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.

| Tenth Hole |
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.
“Golfers like it
because they can really let the shaft off on the
drive. Long hitters can reach the green in two, or the
hole may be played by laying up for an easy pitch
shot”, says a Makena golf professional.

“Easy” isn’t
a word you’ll hear often when it comes to
describing the South Course’s signature
hole, the sixteenth.A par 4, the sixteenth runs
parallel to the ocean.

| Sixteenth Hole |
It's a dogleg right leading to a two-tiered green, sloping away from the player.The best tee shot for this hole is right center. After that, our golf pro suggests you “know exactly where the pin is set since the entry to the green slopes away from the player”.
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!
