Makena South
Hole 1
432 yards
Par 4
This uphill tee shot requires a long drive up the left side as a large bunker guards the right side with lots of lava to the right of the bunker. The hill on the left helps keep your drive from getting into trouble unless you hit it way left. Unless the wind is behind you, a normal good drive leaves you with a 180-165 yd. approach to a green guarded by a big right side bunker. It's best to play to the left center and stay away from the bunker and take a par.

The Average Golfer should play left side on the tee shot and play the approach shot to left side of green and keep away for bunker. A chip shot is easier from the left side. Bogey is a good score to start the round.

I played a drive to 186 from the green and hit a 5 iron to the left center and 2 putted for a 4. A good start.

Best Tip: Keep it left on #1
