Tour#U208

The Makaha Golf Club is a combination of picturesque tropical beauty and a brilliantly designed layout make Makaha Resort Golf Club one of Oahu's most alluring courses. Forty-five miles from the glitter of Waikiki in western Oahu, the Makaha Resort offers all the tranquility of a secluded country estate. Golfers will enjoy not only the challenging play but the beautifully landscaped links. Strutting peacocks and well-placed ponds, palm trees, and bougainvillea provide constant visual delights. The course takes full advantage of the natural splendors of the Makaha Valley, following the valley's graceful contours, and winding past fern-covered glens. The jewel- like course is framed by the Waianae Mountain Range, with the awesome Mt. Kaala, which rises almost vertically for more than 5,000 feet above the valley floor, visible from every hole. You will also find some strange phenomena on the course. The terrain appears to rise up when it's actually sloping down and players experience other visual disortions when standing on the greens. These anomalies may be contributed to "the slope of the valley, the mountain shadows, or even perhaps Makaha's ghost."
