About Mauna Kea Beach Hotel (Hawaii Island)

Located on the west side of Hawaii (Big) Island on the Kohala Coast, the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel is an iconic Hawaiian golf resort, founded by Laurence S. Rockafeller, and a member of the historic hotels of America. Robert Trent Jones Sr. built the iconic Mauna Kea Golf Course in 1964 which set the standard for Hawaiian golf at the time and remains one of the state's best resort golf courses. The Mauna Kea Beach Hotel has 252 guest rooms and suites and is part of the Autograph Collection. Features of the property include Kauna'oa Bay, a white-sand beach with water sports from snorkeling to beach activities. A Keiki kids club is available for guests daily, and there is a spa, tennis, and 2,500-square-foot fitness center. Mauna Kea Spa and Salon is also onsite. In addition to the Mauna Kea Golf Course, Hapuna Golf Course is located next door and a partner property with stay-and-play golf packages.

Top Notch!

I’m from AZ. one of the top golf destinations in the country, and I rate this course among the best courses there is, if not the best!

I highly recommend Muana Kea to anyone who is looking for a very well maintained course with absolutely gorgeous scenic views! 5 Stars!!!

Pure

This course was absolutely pure. Immaculate views, pristine greens, not a blade of grass out of place on the fairways. Extremely friendly staff, beautiful practice area, and an absolutely stacked bev cart. This course is D1. Make sure you can hit it straight if you’re gonna book ;-)

Mauna Kea

Pretty difficult for a resort course.

Amazing amount of bunkers.

Greens were quick and rolled well except the green

patches that were very prevalent. After the sandy aerated Hapuna yesterday, Mauna Kea was definitely

An improvement.

Great layout, service and conditions disappointing

From the security guard at gate to the pro shop staff, not a welcoming experience. Green cups hadn’t been changed in multiple days, slow play in front of us wasn’t addressed after call to pro shop on hole 10...never saw a Marshall...cart woman in course was very nice but kept serving the drunk foursome in front of us. Service overall very poor compared to Mauna lani and sister course hapuna golf club.

Great course. Punched green

This course.has many ocean view holes. #3 being the best. There are many nicely designed holes in addition to the view. This is a true top 100 course. The course was punched on 5/12 so the greens are bumpy.

Tough course

Too many fairway bunkers,

Excessive number of elevated greens

Not a walking course

Greens are aerated

Too tough for the average golfer

As advertised

Course lives up to its billing. Good track. Challenging greens. Mostly steep and deep bunkers. The course gets a 10. I understand the limited amenities due to COVID however I wouldn’t have put friendliness and welcoming in that category. Better customer oriented and service staff would have made the afternoon a great outing
