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.

Love Hapuna

We have played this course for many years! Staff is very friendly and helpful! Greens are very good, especially the conversion to a more sea side type grass! will always play while on the Big Island!

Hapunaaaa!

Expect more than the normal 3 putts. Even though some greens don’t look like it - the putts roll to the ocean.

Nice staff and excellent course conditions.

I had a nice even par round and played through about 4 groups in about 2.5 hours. I wanted to play a few more holes while waiting for my wife to come back from the other side of the island but they wanted $85-90 for 9 holes so I just did some shopping in the pro shop. Definitely will put this track on my return list.
