Westin Hapuna Beach Resort (Hawaii Island)

I played Hapuna on a very windy day, but made the best of it. I thought the course was in top notch condition and many of holes are certainly "photo-ops".Gorgeous scenery.

The course itself is in great condition. However we were playing in a 20 mph plus wind. that made the play very very difficult. Also as a first-time player, there were way too many blind shots to negotiate. All in all, I would play the course again, but only on when there is no wind.

staff let us go out as twosome so wife could be relaxed. beverage lady nice, but done by 6th hole. course good shape, greens were were best ive seen. 20 handicap..shot 89..41 on back 9.. no lounge open 5pm..still will book again, mahalo

Very well manicured course with very pleasant and respectable staff. In comparison to other courses on the Island, Hapuna is close to our favorite.

My wife and I played this course for the first time.We found the course to be challenging,but fair.The views of the ocean are spectacular(but note this is NOT an Oceanside course)!
The staff was quite friendly but not overbearing(which we also appreciate).Practice facilities were very good and the locker rooms were a plus.The only negative is that the on-site café was closed.

For $95 at 1pm on golf now. I can't imagine a better value for the money. ive played a less expensive muni in the area but this is top tier quality for a few bucks more. The deep rough is waist high jungle style so you better be able to control it off the tee to play here or bring a lot of balls. I've played 5 rounds with the same ball and lost it here plus several more. The greens are in great shape, fast,.Roll true but break much much more than you think they will. be prepared to get a few 3 putts

It's a gorgeous course. Enjoy the scenic views.

Wanted to play golf in Hawaii and we chose this course but it could have been any course on the main land. And it was not very nice and to far out of the way. Spend the extra and go somewhere else

Great course great value when using glof now
I play mid morning the course was in great shape

Played with my wife. Wonderful layout with great views. My wife found it very playable from the forward tees and I it was challenging enough for me from the back tees. Course and greens were both in excellent condition. With the green fees through GolfNow it was also a great value.

A lot of folks think that Hapuna is the little brother to Mauna Kea. While they share the same terrain they are vastly different. I played the tips at both, and while Mauna Kea had some amazing views (hole #3), it wasn't as playable as Hapuna. I hope that more people give Hapuna a try!

Gorgeous layout on the mountainside with western Pacific views. A bit unusually tight for a Palmer course, precise approaches required. Any shot a few yards off the fairway is a lost ball in tall pampas style grass, if anything course is under sloped at 131 from Tournament (blue) tees. Greens had been recently aerated & slow, but overall is a must on a Big Island visit, better value than Mauna Kea or Mauna Lani.

Beautiful views, greens in poor condition hence low rate but worse than just aerated the grass on several greens almost nonexistent, fairways not bad, no GPS system so playing for first time a lot of guess work as several blind shots without knowing where to hit it or distances make sure study the course layout ahead of time and bring a distance meter. For the rate the views and most of the course well worth it. My wife rode with me and the rider fee was too high at $25 but she enjoyed herself and even drove the cart right up to the green one time a no-no but she doesn't play golf so I had a good laugh.

Hapuna is very enjoyable to play with unique holes and plenty of hole variations. Can be a little slow as there is no marshall to monitor play. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Nice course with great views- Beverage cart lady asked us if we wanted anything on hole 1. We declined hoping to see her later which never happened
Place seemed understaffed other than a very happy d working cart gentleman

Enjoyed the course very much. Not what I consider s links design. Hills and valleys and a few blind tee shots but overall not very penal. Beautiful views and several terrific holes. A must play for golfers who with handicaps below 20

It's n the coast so there are some great views of the ocean. I think it would be a tough walk, the greens and tees are a long walk. I love golf in Hawaii, you can't beat the weather, blue skies and blue water abound!! It was really windy the day I played so it was a tougher challenge - swing slow if you can!!

Staff was friendly. Course was in great condition. Very nice TaylorMade rental clubs and FootJoy shoes. My wife was a rider as I played a little golf on our honeymoon, and we were paired with a very nice local named Barry. He knew the course very well, and encouraged my wife to take a couple shots as well. When the wind blows, shots get much more tough. Only negative was that we got stuck behind a 4-some that didn't offer to let us play through, which slowed us down some. Beautiful scenic views. Would play the course again in a heartbeat.

We waited every shot, every hole for a miserable five plus hours. The "No Mow' was totally ridiculous, extremely user unfriendly-offering no opportunity to find even a slightly errant shot let alone hack it out. What was most disgusting about the pace of play was not even once was there a marshal in evidence to move the 'turtles' along. Of the seven rounds I played this trip, this was the most unfavorable in spite of a beautiful natural layout that with proper manicuring could have been a memorable experience for the right reasons.

I got to the course early and was able to be 2nd off. Other than a bit of wind to make it more challenging I loved this course

The Hapuna staff is always very helpful and friendly. The golf shop has a good selection of merchandise. We appreciated the two water bottles per person in the cart cooler. The setting and views of the Kohala Coast just can't be beat. The course is challenging, but fun. Each hole is unique. A must play if you are in the area.
