great service, great views, tough course

staff is fantastic. greens are in great condition and the ocean views are spectacular. . finishing hole is fun. if you don’t hit the ball perfectly straight this course is a very tough one as there is basically no rough. you’re either in the fairway or in the lava. That said, the views make the lost balls hurt less.

Good value

From the tips plays short with lots of downhill holes ball runs out. Fun track though and fair challenge.

Nice course but design is quirky

Without knowing the course the layout is quirky and puts you in tough spots where landing areas are tight and often your ball rolls off into high weeds or tall grasses on sides of fairways. Carts do not have GPS screens so you have no data or info about each hole. Overall nice course but there are nicer courses nearby with better amenities

WINDY!!!

It was almost a great experience but the wind really ruined it for me. Not only you have to second, triple guess each iron distances but also deal with dust kicking up into your face sometimes impossible to keep both eyes open. It was so windy stitching from my Hawaiian shirt started to unravel. If you don't have a punch shot stay away. Other than that.. nice design and fast pace of play (people have walked off after losing all their golf balls) Not worth the money I spent.

Hapuna

Very friendly staff. We were able to go out early. Pace of play was great for 12 holes but then we caught groups in front of us and things were backed up for 4 holes. Painfully slow.

But good value for Hawaii

Aerated greens

Over the last couple years I have played this course. Each time its does not say the greens have been punched. I find that for whatever reasons the greens still have holes and a lot over sand and you get a very poor roll on the ball. It's very frustrating and for what you are charging is unacceptable.
