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.

PRETTY COURSE

Course was in really good shape, price the highest we paid on our trip. Ocean views nice, not busy. Don't understand why is so expensive when no one is on the course. GpS on cart, cart person had lots of food options and drinks best cart yet on a course ! Green were ok, fairways green not dried out like Waikola golf course

Perfect weather

Mauna Kea Strutting its Stuff!

One of the top courses to be played anywhere. The greens had been verticut and sanded the same morning we played but they were still rolling really nice. The rest of the course was beautiful as always. The discounted rate on GolfNow left us with extra money to spend in one of the best pro shops anywhere. The staff is super friendly, the pace of play was 4 hours, and the weather was perfect on the Big Island once again.

Great location and layout with lots of ocean views.

Gorgeous location and layout with zero bunker maintenance and very slow greens. For $250 I at least expect bunkers to be raked and maintained and greens rolling at about 7-8 on the stimp meter is not what I expected either.
