Mauna Kea Beach Hotel (Hawaii Island)

I had played here about 10 years ago and wanted my wife to experience a course of this calibur. She was blown away by the course and the views. Highly recommend for couples that golf.

I love this track, this is my 4th time playing it. My biggest gripe is that I wasn’t told till right at teeing off they top dressed greens - buckets of sand on the greens. Was very disappointed but other than that it was a great day.

Beautiful course, lots of challenges, 2 great par 3’s, elevations, views of ocean, can’t be beat. One frustration was they had sanded the greens, we should have been told. If I had paid rack rate I would have felt ripped off.

Got a great rate through TeeOff!!

The bunkers need some work, but this remains the premiere layout, except for uber-private Nanea, on the island. Have played this course 200 times over 25 years. It is a difficult course with deep bunkers and undulating greens— don’t play tees that are too long.

Beautiful Course. Green complexes beautiful and extremely challenging. Get out your sand wedge because you will need it. Well Worth playing as long as you don't get frustrated easily.

Excellent condition and good for most skill levels, if you do mind a challenge! Unmatched views and worth the price paid on Golf Now ($155!)

This course is beautiful. Staff was very courteous and delightful. Amazing day of ocean and golf views.

first time playing in Hawaii and the course did not disappoint. great views of the ocean, challenging greens, and great pace of play (3h45 round). Would highly recommend

Beautiful golf course would love to play there again. I wish it was more affordable

Very disappointed in course condition. Many unfilled divots, ball marks on greens and wet traps were often not raked. Did not see a ranger the whole round and played behind a very slow twosome. Played the course 5 years ago and it was in great shape. Today the course was in fair condition and definitely not worth the price charged to play. Greens were also just fair with many different grass types.

Driving range was terrible. Hitting balls on steep incline and very close together. It is a difficult way to warm up. Course was in great shape. When and if I want the ultimate challenge, I might give it another try. For now Mauna Lani courses are more my style. Not to mention staff is much friendlier.
