Have to walk with no pull carts

Didn’t realize this was a par 3 when I made the reservations. The course wouldn’t let me pay the difference to play the full course, even though they had plenty of tee times. They wouldn’t let you take carts on the par 3 and didn’t have pull carts. I would not play this par 3 again.

Night and day

After playing the South Course on Monday, we came back to play the North course two days later. Wouldn't have even thought we were at the same place. After 20 minutes at the bag drop, we finally gave up and carried our bags downstairs to the cart. No one down there seemed to be interested in helping us either. Overall the course was in good, but not great shape. Lots of burned out areas in the fairway, but the greens were nice. A few picturesque holes, including #17, but nothing to make it worth the price or playing it again. I think we were spoiled by the service we had earlier. If you can only play one of the two, we'd suggest the South course.

Wow

This was our second round of the week and had a blast. The views here can't be beat. Lots of fun holes to challenge you. Greens were quick, but not as fast as we're used to in Las Vegas, so we left a few puts short until we got used to them. If you have to pick the North or South course, this is the one we'd recommend.

Fave course on the Big Island

It’s a bit of a drive from Kona but 100% worth it.

Friendly staff, fantastic course conditions and range with some truly spectacular views. I can’t wait to go back again next year ! Thanks, Mauna Lani. Oh, ya. They also have a 9 hole pitch and putt (45 yards-130 yards and everything in between those distances). That was fun, too.

The best pair

Without a doubt the north and south courses are the best you can play.

Of course there are others that maybe better but normal human beings can’t get access.
