Good course

Good course. Glad GolfNow offered a Hot Deal or I probably wouldn't have sprung for it. It's not on the ocean, but there are ocean views on many holes. In other holes there are striking views of the up-country slopes of Mauna Loa. The course itself is quite hilly, which gave many holes character and made them tougher. Had to club up by two clubs on some uphill shots. But good course kept in really great shape.

Lack of Amenities

I understand the Covid issue and restrictions but not being able to have a beer and a bite after the round of

play was disappointing. Trecked down to the Westin.

Haupuna

This course was a very beautiful course! A links style course! First 9 are all uphill, back 9 downhill! Bermuda grass does play a bit different! Greens were incredibly fast!

Hapuna

After the first 4-5 holes, the course landscaping becomes monotonous. The maintenance and the green upkeeps are fabulous. Since this is a sister course of Mauna Kea, I can understand the reason the preference. The service quality is fabulous even under the Covid situation.

Too many blind shots!

Hapuna Golf course was in very good condition, but not a lot fun to play. I guess if you like a course with many "blind" shots it would be OK. There was no course map to see where to hit for blind shot targets. I was constantly getting in the cart and driving up hills to see what kind of danger was lurking. The course was extremely hilly with many side hill, up and down hill lies...I would not opt to play it again.
