Makaha Valley Country Club

Overview: Makaha Valley Country Club follows the broad valley floor and lower slopes on Oahu’s dry west side. The William F. Bell design is characterized by rolling ground, palms, tropical plants and holes that turn around the valley’s natural shape. Elevation changes and the leeward trade-wind pattern make the course feel more open and rugged than the wetter windward layouts.

History: The operator identifies William F. Bell as the designer and presents the course as a long-standing Makaha Valley facility. Current public material does not establish a reliable opening year or complete modern tee-yardage set, so those fields are left blank rather than borrowed from another Bell routing.

Did You Know? The valley’s dry climate is a major part of the course identity. Makaha receives much less rain than windward Oahu, which changes the vegetation, turf color and firmness of the ground even within the same island.
