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.

     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 considered the unobstructed views of the blue pacific, neighboring 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 gulllies and streambeds are also left intact, along with Makena’s indigenous kiawe trees.
     The best view of the North Course comes where you’d expect to find it: part-way up the mountain on the thirteenth hole, overlooking the clubhouse and the natural rolling terrain that leads right up to the ocean.

     The fourteenth hole is special too because of its 200-foot elevation drop between tee and green. 
     And as an added bonus to save golfers some time looking for lost balls, Robert Trent Jones, Jr. designed most fairway so that everything slopes back towards the center.
