Beautiful Course and Views
Course has wide fairways but the approach to the greens are elevated and many protected by bunkers. Greens were in excellent shape but a little slow. Think about moving forward on the tee boxes . Almost every hole required a fair amount of carry of the the tees.
Great Course
Staff is great and course is kept in great condition always.
Take My Picture- you won’t see me there again
This course seems to be the ignored step child compared to the main course at Mauna Kea.
Greens were great. That is the only good thing I can say.
The pro shop is small with with very little desirable merchandise. The carts are old and we’ll beyond their life expectancy.
Almost all of the fairways are spotty with a lot of bare areas and dead patches. The bunkers were well below average at best. It didn’t look like they had been raked in weeks. The Nenes were at least at home in the standing water in a few of them!
My wife and I played as a twosome, which seemed to be the popular thing on this day, as we followed a twosome and saw a couple more. Two ridiculously slow guys were in front of us and continued to hit multiple balls on practically every shot. There was not a Marshall or course assistant to be seen all day, leaving us to finally skip ahead late on the back nine. 4 hours to play 18 holes is very frustrating.
Upon finally finishing, there were no employees except one still working. Nobody in the cart area, nobody in the pro shop…at 3:00 on a Saturday.
Totally disappointed as this used to be a great tract in a great location…but it has fallen so far it isn’t even funny.
Avoid playing here.
Great value
Played in the morning after a 1.5 hour rain delay. Course draining was great. By the 4th hole was unable to tell it had rained. Played alone and spouse rode along taking pictures at all the nice vistas from the many elevated tees.
1st time
Great layout, good mix of holes, difficult to good birdie opportunities. Condition were very good. Able to play 3 hours after a torrential downpour.
Hapuna golf course
Nice course and layout. Played 18 holes in 2 hrs. Only thing is when you go to Hapuna golf course website. Look at golf photos. They show holes along ocean front. There are zero holes along the ocean. Very misleading. Extremely disappointed. Won’t play again
Hapuna golf
Nice course, lots of hills , large greens , a fun course
Fun course
It played a little short the day I went out. I played from the regular tees, but it played more like 5500yds, than 6000yds. When a par 5 is just over 400 yards, then we've got a problem. That being said, I still had to make approach shots and putts I was disappointed to shoot 80 with as short as it was playing.
The greens were fair and the view is beautiful from anywhere. This is one of the nicest courses on the big island plus the starter was super nice.
I will come back and play it again. I actually prefer it over Mauna Kea mostly because of the cost.
Beautiful course, views, lots of hills up and down……. and Windy!
We got to play this beautiful course with a great hot deal. We started off on the driving range where you get free balls hitting into at least a 25 mile an hour wind which gave us concern for the day. You must play with a cart because it is a long walk up and down between holes, the fairways were in great shape so were the greens. They are tricky with lots of minor undulations. On about half the holes the wind was very slight and then one other holes, rolling hard and direction changed often. We started playing at about 11 AM and finished by 2:30. Oh things moved along just fine. In fact, it wouldn’t be a bad thing. If you played slow, the views are so beautiful! 18 is a real tricky finishing par four with a blind drive you don’t want to hit far and green sits atop a very high and steep mound.
Get a chin strap for your hat.
Fun course, good condition, beautiful views. Wish the wind didn’t blow my ball off the tee and hat off my head.
Excellent - highly recommended
I always play Hapuna when we visit the Big Island - 2 or 3 times a year. Although the course can occasionally be a bit dry, it's consistently in very good shape and the greens are fantastic. I love the layout which can be manageable from the middle tees, or really hard from the backs...especially if the wind picks up. Pro-shop is well stocked and all the staff are friendly and helpful. Hapuna can be a real bargain (for Hawaii) with a Hot Deal rate.
Fresh Cut Greens !
Greens Cut the same morning made putting almost impossible. Lesson Learned ask before you sign up !
