Nice Layout

Great golf holes with greens in really good condition. Fairway and tee box maintenance fair at best. Weed growth and dry/brown spots on most fairways. Could be a great course with improved maintenance.

Always a good choice

We visit the Big Island 2 to 3 times a year and always make sure to play Hapuna at least twice (or more). Course condition is overall very good, maybe a little dry, but the greens are consistently excellent. Staff is very friendly. I did encounter some slow players on the back 9 my last round there, but it’s on them (no etiquette) as Hapuna is typically pretty quick. It’s a good value when you can get an online deal.

Goats Galore

I would highly recommend getting a "hot deal" on Golf Now for this course as it's absolutely worth $100, but if paying full price, head to Mauna Lani North or South.

Beautiful Oceanside golf course

Outstanding! Only complaint was pin placement on first hole. Clown or putt-putt placement Ball riled off front. No stopping it. Sad. Took an eight, ruined the rest of the round.
