Great Course—we absolutely loved playing here!

Hapuna is a beautiful course! The staff are so friendly and we absolutely loved our time here. We arrived early—there’s putting, chipping and a range to warm up. We were able to get out a little before our tee time and just go ourselves a twosome which was great! We never had to wait at a hole for another group. The course itself was beautiful, well manicured and lots of fun—challenging and rewarding with views.

We’ll definitely be back again!

A nice course with the best greens in Puaco but when the wind is blowing it can be tough just to address your ball.

Everything was great besides that I never saw the beverage cart attendant. I do realize I tee off after 2:30pm Wide open! But no cold beer!. Next time!

Very slow pace of play!

Everything fine EXCEPT pace of play which was abysmal:

5 hours to play 18 is unacceptable.

The course needs a marshall!!
