Makena South
Hole 10
514 yards
Par 5
Start the back nine with a beautiful Par 5 with two large lakes and views of the ocean. The tee shot has water down the right side and bunkers left, then another lake guards the green from 100 yards out on the left to make the golfer play safe to right on lay up. But, the big hitters can get to 220 -200 yards from the green and have a go at the green in two. With a lake in front left of the green any approach not long and right is wet and several bunkers on the right make going for the green risky, so the average golfer should lay up with a 5 iron to the right side and play for a short iron into a large green.

I played a good long drive 284 yards to 230 yards from the green and hit my 3 wood right of the green. I chipped up to 10 feet and made birdie to start the back nine.

Best Tip: Short hitters stay away from water and lay up for easy third shot. Long hitters take extra club to clear water if you go for the green. Long is good here.
