Great Course

Great and fun course. Would rather play here than many of the ocean courses on the island.

Unfortunately it's the high season, and pace of play was difficult, but still a great course. Go play it!

Nice views and fun to play

Not as penal as sister course Mauna Kea, but not as visually spectacular either. A fun place to play with nice ocean views from most of the course. You won’t be disappointed.

Blind shots

Lots of blind shots off the tee if you play Black

Looks like tarket golf from back there. But not as bad as it seems once you reach your second shot.

Hapuna needs to be played several times

You will appreciate and enjoy the course more once you’ve played it several times. Angles can be important and green reading is difficult. Our recent round was ruined by a very slow group of inexperienced players that didn’t know enough to let us through ....a Marshall would have saved the day but none was to be found.

Beautiful views

Lovely course, great practice area, beautiful views of volcano, ocean, nature. Not a walkable course in the heat I think...too hilly and holes too far from each other.
