About
Hapuna Golf Course stretches along the beautiful Kohala coastline before rising to over 700 feet above sea level. The snow-topped Mauna Kea volcano serves as a dramatic backdrop and there are seemingly endless views of the Pacific. Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay collaborated to create a visually stunning links course that utilizes the natural contours of the landscape and silky fescue grasses. The design team has received praise for not only the challenge of the design but also for how seamlessly it blends into the existing environment. Palmer incorporated several risk-reward opportunities, especially with the par 5s, the14th is a good example. There are many ways to play this hole, which features a large ravine on the right and a wide, but shallow green. Long hitters can reach the green in two but short hitters prefer two shots and a par 3.

Nice Layout
Great golf holes with greens in really good condition. Fairway and tee box maintenance fair at best. Weed growth and dry/brown spots on most fairways. Could be a great course with improved maintenance.
Uphill Downhill layout
Course was in decent shape not as nice as sister course next door but overall a fun course
Beautiful Vistas
Worth it if you get a deal !
Always a good choice
We visit the Big Island 2 to 3 times a year and always make sure to play Hapuna at least twice (or more). Course condition is overall very good, maybe a little dry, but the greens are consistently excellent. Staff is very friendly. I did encounter some slow players on the back 9 my last round there, but it’s on them (no etiquette) as Hapuna is typically pretty quick. It’s a good value when you can get an online deal.
Enjoyed playing very much. Will play again next time to Hawaii
Great value
Great value compared to Waikoloa village and beach/lakes course. Pace of play was good about 4.25 hours
Bang for buck
Unreal golf course! Spectacular views, well maintained and very tenatice staff! One of the best courses I have ever had the privilege to play
Great course
Enjoyed our day on the course. Super views good layout.
Goats Galore
I would highly recommend getting a "hot deal" on Golf Now for this course as it's absolutely worth $100, but if paying full price, head to Mauna Lani North or South.
Great fun
This is a challenging course but worth playing as many times as possible. It’s a favorite.
Beautiful Oceanside golf course
Outstanding! Only complaint was pin placement on first hole. Clown or putt-putt placement Ball riled off front. No stopping it. Sad. Took an eight, ruined the rest of the round.
The more I play this course the more I appreciate it .It is basically a links course which has many election changes , few bunkers , challenging greens that are difficult to read . , forgiving fairways .
