Makaha Valley Country Club

Makaha Valley Country Club is located in the lowlands of Waianae, Hawaii, adjacent to Makaha Golf Club. Designed by William F. Bell, who also designed the Torrey Pines South Course that hosted the 2008 U.S. Open, the course showcases the designer's expertise in championship-level golf architecture. The layout weaves through rolling terrain framed by dense trees, ferns, and tropical plants, offering scenic vistas throughout. The course presents golfers with varied doglegs and elevation changes that test accuracy and shot-making ability. A defining characteristic is one of Hawaii's most demanding closing holes, which provides an entertaining climax to the round. The combination of elevation changes, strategic routing, and challenging finishing stretch positions Makaha Valley as a moderately difficult course that rewards skilled play while remaining accessible to players of varying abilities.
