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.

Hapunaaaa!

Expect more than the normal 3 putts. Even though some greens don’t look like it - the putts roll to the ocean.
