Great track

Beautiful and challenging golf course with some spectacular views. Course was in excellent condition. Only issue was no restaurant/bar area so eat before you play as there is no food available. You can get a drink from the cart girl.

Nice lava rock lined course

A well maintain course. The pace of play was better than average, about 4hr15min. We enjoyed very much the different course setting with plenty of lava rocks. There are a few holes with ocean views but otherwise an inland course. Overall a very nice experience.

The greens on the slow side as compared to our regular course’s. Many fairways are wide open but a few are a bit challenging with either narrow or trees- splitting fairways.

The price is pretty stiff, over value, probably carried over from the more famous South Course. If you have time and don’t mind spending extra, it would be a good experience.

Screw the last guys review! This place is great!

If you are super golf snob and came to hawaii to play serious golf than this course is more of a fun little warm up. Go to Mauna Kea and spend $250+ to play on a serene and challenging course. If you want to have fun with your kids and you don’t take yourself or golf too seriously than it’s well worth the money. My son and I played a 4:30 tee time we were the only ones on the course and just had a the best time bonding and working on our game. Your in hawaii abs there are ocean views. The staff is amazing and friendly. Super laid back yet professional. This course should have more good reviews to it detour people to have sone fun. It will now be the first course I play with my son before we take on a more challenging course like Mauna Kea and I wish had done things in that order this time. Remember it’s about having fun,

A finalist for the most beautiful courses I have played in my life.

I have played a lot of golf in my life, in a lot of countries, this course is a finalist for the most beautiful.. The tees, fairways, bunkers and greens were immaculate. My daughter and I played as a twosome in the afternoon and never encountered any delays in the pace of play. The setting was a photo worthy view on every hole. The staff in the pro shop were friendly and quick to serve us. The starter gave great advise, our tee time was right on time. The bag handlers met us at the bag drop and answered our questions. The refreshment cart was timely and friendly. What more can I say. I wish I could play this course more.

Another. First class day on a wonderful course.

The weather was fantastic. The fare ways were beautiful. The greens were challenging but a little slow. Staff was friendly and helpful. Pace of play was a little slow but not bad. We could never enjoy the afternoon more.

Great Day on the Course

Played with my Dad today and we really enjoyed the North course. Fairways were in really good condition, a few of the tee boxes were a bit spotty, but the greens were gorgeous. The lay of the course was beautiful and challenging, so we had a great time!

Club rental not recommended

The course was in great shape except for the bunkers, they were wet and packed. They had Callaway clubs, but it was not a matched set. The grips were worn and terrible. Somehow I ended up with a blister on my left hand. I used the same brand of glove I have for years and years and I have never got a blister playing golf. Did give you a bag of six balls but they were the cheap super soft. I would think for what you pay to play here they could at least give you chrome soft (x). I would recommend the course, but do not recommend the club rental

Out of bounds * 2 for GolfNow

LET ME START BY SAYING A BIG THANK YOU TO THE STAFF AT MAUNA LANI. FOR FIXING THE ERRORS OF GOLFNOW

Very frustrated with GolfNow, I booked Hapuna Golf course for today. last Friday the course staff contacted me to say that GolfNow didn’t alert users that they had aerated the course and they highly encouraged me to rebook elsewhere as the greens were still not good. When I did this GolfNow refused to reimburse me and instead sent me 10+ $20 coupons to be used next time I book some golf, covering the cost of the booking.

I then booked MAUNA LANI North Course - when I arrived there today I was told the North Course was aerated and the greens were not in good condition. Again the golf course was explaining to me what GolfNow didn’t.

Thankfully the staff were able to find a slot on the South Course for my son and I. Really enjoyable round but very frustrated with GolfNow
