Opening
January 2010
Troon Golf,® the leader in upscale golf course management,
development and marketing has been selected to manage the
renowned Makai Golf Club at The St. Regis Princeville Resort
located on Kauai’s north shore. Designed by golf
course architect Robert Trent Jones, Jr. in 1971, the course
is finishing a multi-million dollar renovation, scheduled
to be completed in January 2010. The improvements are being
implemented in conjunction with the renovation of The Princeville
Hotel, which has reopened as The St. Regis Princeville Resort.
The Makai Course winds its way around serene lakes, native
woodlands and the spectacular coastline with views of Bali
Hai and Hanalei Bay. The course plays to a par 72 with
four different sets of tees that can be stretched to more
than 7,200 yards from the tips.
The recent renovation by Robert Trent Jones Jr. features the
introduction of Seashore Paspalum turf grass on to all tees,
fairways and greens, providing spectacular playing surfaces
for golfers of all skill levels. Additional improvements
include the reconfiguring greens complexes and green surrounds,
as well as bold reshaping of all bunkers. The signature
7th hole on the Makai Course plays to 213 yards from the back
tees. It consists of a challenging tee shot over scenic
cliffs, onto to a green which is surrounded by brilliant white
bunkers and surreal views of the mountains and Pacific Ocean.
For the casual golfer who wants to enjoy a leisure round of
golf with family and friends, Makai Golf Club is also proud
to offer the popular 9-hole Woods Course. The
Woods Course is a fun and relaxed layout, winding through
the native woodlands of Kauai’s north shore.
The practice facility at Makai Golf Club has also been improved
to include two large new practice tees, a practice fairway
bunker, seven target greens with bunkers, a teaching tee,
and short game practice complex. Makai Golf Club offers
new Callaway Golf rental clubs for men, women and juniors
who want to enjoy the best equipment in golf. The golf
shop feature today’s leading brands in men’s and
women’s leisure apparel, including Greg Norman, Adidas,
Under Armour, Nike, Fairway & Green and more.
The popular Makai Golf Club is considered one of Hawaii's
premier golf destinations and has been ranked by Golf Digest
as one of Hawaii's top courses. For more information,
