Hard to beat!

Booked this on Golf Now. Great value.

From the moment we arrived everything was top notch.

From check in to check out.

Rented clubs, complimentary bottled watwrs, ice, a few sleeves of balls and the friendly , laid back vibe.

Nice Course

Very nice course with beautiful views. Course condition is only fair although the greens are quite good. Staff is very friendly peso play was OK with relatively few people on the course.

Great course

The course was fantastic. Greens were perfect. Unfortunately the winds were 40mph or higher. The ball wouldn’t stay on the greens or on your tee. Looking forward to playing again when it is less windy. Overall a fun day.

Wonderful challenge

This is a wonderful course. Well maintained and fun to play. Pace was a little slow but not bad. Greens we’re well maintained and the slope was a good challenge. Drive to clubhouse was well groomed and Nicely flowered entry way.

Don’t play in the afternoon

There are several options for golf in the Hapuna/Waikoloa/Mauna Kea area, this course is destined to struggle with high winds in the afternoon. Unlike Mauna Lani or Waikoloa, most of the course is exposed to the upper wind blown plains above the protected lower palms near the water. Even Waikoloa Village is more protected for a much lower price.

Excellent Golf Course

Very fine layout and exc. condition - esp. greens.

Can get very windy in mid afternoon.

Requires straight shots or you'll lose many balls in high rough.
