Mauna Lani Resort - South Course

This course features some absolutely stunning views of both the ocean and the properties surrounding it. While the course plays relatively easy with huge landing areas, errant shots that miss the fairway are almost always a penalty, as the lava rock is unforgiving. It's worth noting that there isn't a halfway house, and the beverage cart doesn't carry food, so pack accordingly. I'd have a hard time selling myself on paying full freight to play here, but snag a GolfNow'hot deal' and it's well worth it.

South is less challenging than the north, but makes up for it with more scenic holes. Course was in great shape and got around in 3 hours middle of the day. Couple tough par 3 holes and a few holes you want to check your yardage and line, but overall pretty forgiving off the tee. Worth playing especially if you find a discounted rate. Better than the Waikoloa courses.

I’m not sure how I missed this course last time I visited Kona but happy to have played it. The South course is very scenic, very playable but not too easy. Hard to hit out of the rough and you want to avoid the lava, but the fairways were large enough to hit regularly.

One par 3 runs along the ocean and one you have to hit over the ocean but neither are brutally long holes.

Thanks to GolfNow, I got a Hot rate for an earlier time than I could have on my own…..THANKS!!

This is my first time. Golf ⛳ course is amazing and views are also very nice especially hole number 15.

Got a great deal and was looking for something to be wrong but it was in great condition and the views were amazing. I recommend it!

Rack rate $295

Golf Pass rate $145

Pays for itself, thank you!

The golf pass discount rate is close to $100 off the rack rate price for a tee time. That’s phenomenal. Either course at Mauna Lani is going to be an exceptional experience that you just can’t get anywhere other than the island of Hawaii.

been coming here for years…one of our favorite course and now ridiculously expensive…but beautiful.

That’s not fair bc this was my first course on the Big Island but this is tough to beat. Amazing holes on the ocean, challenging but not intimidating

This is a nice course with 3-4 holes on the coast that in the minds of the owners justify the price tag. Conditions were good, but we dealt with brutal pin placements on almost every green. Pace of play was dreadful at times and they did not do a great job of moving groups along. That said, we played in just over 4 hours, but it could have been much quicker if they paired people up better (lots of 2’s and 3’s mixed in with foursomes). Other than the holes on the water, I don’t know that I need to spend almost $300 to play here again.

Course was in pretty good shape and at this time of year (mid-October) it was not crowded the 2 times I played it.

Made more difficult if you playing on a windy day. I’m 79 and enjoyed playing from the forward tees. Also the holes along the ocean are very well done and present a real challenge. In the winter months you can see a lot of whales but in mid-October there were none. My wife is a non golfer but enjoys riding along for the great weather and scenery.
