Perfect afternoon

We teed off at 2:30 and flew through the course finishing in just over 3 hours. The staff was friendly, the conditions were great, the layout was awesome, and the views were incredible! I’d recommend playing Hapuna to anyone visiting the big island!

Hapuna Delivers

Great track! The course offers challenge to all levels of golfers. The greens were in very good shape and were fast in comparison to its neighboring course which are very slow. The course was in good shape and I would happy to play there again many times.

Beautiful course

Unfortunately the winds blew from the East at about 40 mph. Standing upright was an achievement.

Fun golf course

Had a great time with a good rate at Hapuna. I loved the layout and can’t wait to play again as I didn’t always know where I was going. I played as a single and 4 foursomes let me play through so round was less than 3 hours! A definite must if you are staying on Kona side.

Great course!

This is a challenging (but not too challenging) course that has a beautiful layout with beautiful views! I booked this on GolfNow and got the above rate for teeing off at 2:30 and for using GolfNow rewards. They want the carts in by 6, so there's a risk of not being able to finish your round, though we had this tee time twice and were able to finish the round both times. Lots of fun!

A must play!

Most Hawaii courses are above average in green fees. Hapuna is worth it! You can get great deals for afternoon tee times.

Course was in great shape when I played it, and the greens were even better. If you haven't played here it's worth adding to your visit!
