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.

Great Course—we absolutely loved playing here!
Hapuna is a beautiful course! The staff are so friendly and we absolutely loved our time here. We arrived early—there’s putting, chipping and a range to warm up. We were able to get out a little before our tee time and just go ourselves a twosome which was great! We never had to wait at a hole for another group. The course itself was beautiful, well manicured and lots of fun—challenging and rewarding with views.
We’ll definitely be back again!
Great Day on The Big Island
Coming from California where the courses are plentiful, this course is GREAT in comparison, we had a blast playing and with GREAT ocean views.
Wonderful Golf Course
Hapuna is a gem. It’s a great course in great condition and fun to play.
Windy
Nice course in great condition. Got extremely windy. Staff is great. No restaurants or bars any where in the area around the facilities
No Wind
No wind made for an enjoyable round. Greens fantastic. The only downside was Gps pin locations were not set to that days actual pin positions.
Windy
A nice course with the best greens in Puaco but when the wind is blowing it can be tough just to address your ball.
Course in great shape.
Everything was great besides that I never saw the beverage cart attendant. I do realize I tee off after 2:30pm Wide open! But no cold beer!. Next time!
Challenging with Great Ocean Views
Gets a bit windy with challenging and interesting holes and lots of elevation changes. Great ocean views! Highly recommended!
Hidden gem
Nice course for all golf abilities. Enjoyed this as much as some of the higher priced courses on the water.
Very slow pace of play!
Everything fine EXCEPT pace of play which was abysmal:
5 hours to play 18 is unacceptable.
The course needs a marshall!!
A good day on the links!
Enjoyed my day at hapuna. Course in the best shape I have ever seen it!
