Makena, Maui, 2013-03-28 — /travelprnews.com/ — With the completion of the makeover of the hotel at Makena Resort, ownership is turning its attention to Makena Golf Course.

An announcement today by Shawn Sweeney, President of The Landmark Hotels Group, indicates that the Golf Course will be closed for a multi-million dollar improvement program, and the opening of an upgraded 18-hole course in 2014. Plans include for design elements to be true to the natural beauty of Makena, with its kiawe forest, indigenous trees, ancient rock formations, and natural streams. It will remain one of Maui’s only sea to mountain golf courses.

The last day of play will be March 31st. The re-launch of the Makena Golf Course is expected to be in the first quarter of 2014.

Mr. Sweeney also announced that the popular Café on The Green, which boasts wide-angle views of Makena’s southernmost fairway and surrounding ocean vistas, will remain open daily for lunch, afternoon snacks and early dinner throughout the golf course transformation. Trip Advisor voters ranked this restaurant Number One in the Wailea area this year.  The hotel’s shuttle will be available to take guests and patrons to Café on the Green from the hotel.
