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.

amazing first experience

first time playing here and it was worth every penny. every tee box, bunker, fairway and green was pristine. the course passes through resort suites and hales so expect to see guests on their patios enjoying their morning coffee while watching you slice your ball directly into a deathbed of volcanic gravel. make sure to bring extra balls and accept that they'll have deep scuff marks from the contact. overall had a wonderful time and cant wait to play here again. AND if you're there during peak whale season (Jan-Mar), you'll have amazing front-row seats to them on the 15th hole!

Wow - The Par 3s!!!

Some of the most beautiful par 3s and holes along the water I have seen. This was the 114th course in the USA and Canada I have played. Course was challenging but generous and wide open.

Great Golf with Wonderful Views

When in Hawaii, I strongly recommend playing the Mauna Lani South course. The layout along the coast made for some of the most scenic views. The cart girl mentioned seeing whales spouting, although we did not see them.

The staff is very helpful. The Marshall carries ice-cold water and offers it to the players free of charge. The carts have ball washers and club cleaners as well as a cooler with ice and cold water bottles.

The showstopping South

This 6,924-yard South layout is the showstopper every mainlander comes to see, thanks to its trio of epic ocean holes. The par-3 15th hole might very well be the most photographed hole in Hawaii. The scenery really pops as you tee off over the crashing waves. Resort-friendly, wide fairways allow rusty winter swings the room to spray it and still score. I love everything about this course. I wish it were my home course. I'd play it every day.

Fantastic course.

One of the best courses I have played anywhere. It was a slightly windy day making avoidance of the numerous sand traps tricky. Greens and fairways in great condition.

Beautiful & Sneakily Testing

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.

Nice course, beautiful views

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.

Mauna Lani debut

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!!

Golf pass discount? Yes please

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.
