Hapuna Golf Course
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.

Beautiful views
First time on Hawaii. Beautiful course and views. Challenging. I hope to go there again someday
Great Value at Hupana
Excellent links style track. Greens super fast and fun.
Fabulous Day at Hapuna. Doesn’t get any better then this!
Very nice range, practise area. Staff were all outstanding! Pace of play was a per delight. Groups ahead let us play through. Greens are exceptional! I could play this course every day and never get tired of it. Nice to see all the COVID restrictions in place. If you haven’t golfed this course do it for the views! They are an outstanding bonus .Lots of parking too.

Best score ever 10 pars in a row! Sht my age of 82!
Beautiful views
Nice course, well designed, and in good condition .Only negative was no marshal so very slow play
Play Too slow
Course was in good shape. Just way too much waiting. Over 5 hours for our round. Spoke to some regulars and they said this is an on going issue.
I was thinking of getting a multi play pass but not now.
Wonderful Day
Views are spectacular. Greens were smooth and fast.
