Mauna Lani Resort - North Course

Well maintained, great views and good staff. If one thing, make sure the on cart course hole view and yard finder properly work. Worth the time to play.

Course and staff were really great. It was very windy wanted really effected play

I’m so happy to see a handful of times released to GolfNow at a discount. It makes these incredible courses accessible to normal golfers who don’t have huge amounts of money budgeted for golf. Thank you!

I did not play this course, it was an errant booking that I dattemptee to rectify with no response from golfnow.

Please provide a refund.

The course is obviously amazing in every way - layout, spectacular view, challenging shots, great driving range, nice carts and free water available when needed.

Our only issue was the greens had been vertical-cut the day before making putting very unreliable(okay I did make 3 birdies) However we were very disappointed that we paid full price for greens in this condition. We would have played the South course instead.

The 6,913-yard North is the more strategic of the two 18s at the resort. It's harder, too, especially if your ball comes to rest under the random trees that sit in the middle or along the edges of the fairways of multiple holes (1, 3, 4, 6, 13 and 16). They sucked my tee shots in like tractor beams. The North briefly visits the ocean at the second and ninth greens, but its signature moment comes via the 17th, a 132-yard par 3 cut from a bowl of black rock.

Overall I can see why people would give this place a good review. This is just my one experience but I walked away unsatisfied. First for the positives... Rental set was great, had different shaft options in woods which is always a plus. Driving range was beautiful and free to hit balls. The course itself was a fun layout with some very memorable holes.

The North course had just punched it greens, which normally doesn't bother me. However, when I asked the lady behind the counter after the round she told me that the South course was in great shape and should of let her know punched greens would be an issue. In what world would I rather play punched greens? I asked for a discount on the round, comp the rentals or my wife's riding fee, and was laughed at. I understand course maintenance has to happen but when there is another course that is available it seems like the right thing to do is put people on knowing its a better experience.

One other annoyance was the pace of play. The starter let me know that the other 2 in our group wanted to play by themselves so I'd be going off on my own. Normally I would be thrilled, but when I got to 1 tee there was 3 other twosomes that were going off. Every tee box was at least a 5 minute wait.

Like I said, I can see why people would really enjoy this spot, but for that kind of money I was surprised how poorly run it was. Not saying don't go, but I would ask which course to play and set expectations for a 5+ hour round of golf.

Great challenging course with perfect greens and fairways. Golf was perfect. Can’t believe we paid huge rack rates and no beverage cart!!!!!! Would have been nice if they told us beforehand. Even one of the waters they gave us in our cooler had been opened. The second marshal we saw waved and drove by-we had to hail him to get water. Troon should be ashamed.
