Mauna Lani, from Auberge Resorts Collection (Hawaii Island)

A beautiful course, friendly staff, and stunning ocean views! Steer clear of the lava and you'll have a great day!!!

South Course at Mauna Lani never disappoints! We played in a 20 MPH breeze and followed two foursomes (we were two) and still played in 4 hours. Greens were rolling true and a little on the quick side compared to other courses, which was very nice.
The staff here is one of the best anywhere and always friendly and welcoming.
The pro shop is one of the best as well, with a lot of nice apparel and accessories, for both men and women. They do get “resort prices” for everything so you will pay a bit of a premium for all things (food, drinks, apparel, etc) but great offerings.
This is one of my favorite places to golf…anywhere. The North course is great too, but I think with the great views (ocean, lava, floral) and playability of the course, the South can’t be beat!

I'd put this in the top 3 courses I've ever played, and it might be at the top. I played the blue tees (71.4/125) on a Monday morning under blue skies with just a hint of wind. The pro shop was well stocked and the employees were friendly with lots of advice about the round. While the practice areas were what you'd expect for the price tag, I especially appreciated the employee who waited until I'd hit 20-30 practice chips and cleared all the balls from the practice green once I'd moved on to the first tee - great service!

Simply put, the course is unbelievable. Even though there are maybe "only" 6-7 holes that play at or along the ocean, the course conditions are unrivaled. You'd be hard-pressed to find a piece of grass out of place. The bunkers are perfectly kept, and the greens roll as true as any I've seen. On the whole, the layout is pretty flat and forgiving off the tee - perfect for resort golf. The only real trouble is the lava rock hazards lining the course, which will definitely spell death for your ball if it finds one, but it's so uniquely visually striking it almost doesn't matter.

Holes 6 and 7 and give you brief taste of ocean before heading inland until hole 12, when the course crescendos to the climax at the famous hole 15. It's par 3 requiring a full carry over water - the closest us mere mortals will ever come to playing Cypress Point. Regardless of the set of tees you play, it's worth going to the back tee and taking a picture/hitting a couple shots/wondering if there's a prettier golf hole in the world. The concluding holes play away from the ocean back toward the clubhouse, but they're a satisfying conclusion to an incredible round. Anyone can play here and have a perfect day; from beginning to end, it's an unforgettable experience.

Work out 5 hour plane arrival on 9 hole chipping course using 7, 9 irons and putter. Tricky greens, good for accuracy beforehand on 18 holes. Fun and quick.

This course is probably the most beautiful course I have ever played at! It’s expensive ($250/player) but I would love to come back🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♀️!
Well maintained and you won’t be disappointed⛳️👍!

Truly spectacular setting. Played North Course the day before and this also had amazing views but South course has spectacular holes with amazing views. Generally very playable off the tees although I had a good driving day. Played with my wife who is a good 18 handicap and she loved it and very playable. I truly think this is a must play. Use GOLFNOW. Saved almost $100.00 for the two of us compared to price on the course website. Spent it on some golf shop goodies!

After playing Mauna Lani - South 25 years ago, it was time to try the North course. The staff was very friendly and allowed us to tee off a half hour early since there was little traffic. The course was in excellent condition, rough not very difficult and greens in good shape if not a bit slower than I expected. Typical upscale resort conditions. There was moderate difficulty which increased the last few holes as the winds picked up considerably. Only one hole finished beautifully by the ocean with the rest winding through condos or lava fields. The price was higher than necessary (it is Hawaii after all) . This was a one and done event. No need to play again.

An amazing course with beautiful views of the ocean. Greens are tricky to read, fairly quick...a little firm, possibly dried by the extremely high winds today. Combination of manicured fairways and unforgiving lava roughs made for an interesting round. Drivies in the fairway got a lot of extra roll but if you hit the lava, you are toast. Staff was great. Pace of play was good probably because the nasty wind kept people away today.

This is probably the most beautiful course I’ve ever played. Even the practice area was very well maintained. The fairway were beautiful and the greens rolled nicely.

Great layout. Excellent conditions. Greens a little slow. A couple great scenic holes by the ocean. One of the best resort/public courses on the island. Will definitely play it again
