Wow
This was our second round of the week and had a blast. The views here can't be beat. Lots of fun holes to challenge you. Greens were quick, but not as fast as we're used to in Las Vegas, so we left a few puts short until we got used to them. If you have to pick the North or South course, this is the one we'd recommend.

Fave course on the Big Island
It’s a bit of a drive from Kona but 100% worth it.
Friendly staff, fantastic course conditions and range with some truly spectacular views. I can’t wait to go back again next year ! Thanks, Mauna Lani. Oh, ya. They also have a 9 hole pitch and putt (45 yards-130 yards and everything in between those distances). That was fun, too.

The best pair
Without a doubt the north and south courses are the best you can play.
Of course there are others that maybe better but normal human beings can’t get access.

South course was excellent. Beautiful routing thru lava with everything right in front of you. I enjoyed this course way more than Mauna Kea. I heard the North course is just as fun.
