We golfed four different locations on the Big Island during our week stay. Hapuna was our least favourite of the four game we played. The wind was unbelievable! We both wore hats and had to take them off permanently after a couple of holes as they kept blowing off of our heads. It was hard to enjoy the course when... More

Played Hapuna again this trip after some 5 years - over that time lots of new structures on the property, a number of wider fairways and much speedier greens than I recalled from previous rounds (iron shot which appeared to be close to the pin on the first hole ended up rolling back off the front of the green and...

I loved this course... challenging and gorgeous . Goats everywhere but I loved the price... $75 a round after 1Pm... GO Play. Forget the Four Seasons at 250... save your money for dining in Waimea! Great staff too. More

This is an Arnold Palmer design that is in a great setting. Many of the holes have a view of the ocean. The course has received a number of awards for its environmentally friendly design. As with most Palmer courses, how tough it is depends on which tees you choose to play! The course was in good shape and the... More

Course is a little hilly and narrow but very playable. The greens on #1 and #2 are ridiculous if the pin is in the front. They both have false fronts and it's impossible to keep the ball in the green if you're putting downhill or if you hit your approach shot to the the front. Not a very great way... More

This is a rather tight, but extremely scenic course located above the highway (for the most part) above the Hapuna Prince hotel. We used coupons available at Hilo Hattie (don't know if they still have them) for a big discount. Lost a few balls, but had a great time. More

Arnold Palmer did a great job laying out the Hapuna Prince golf course. There are great vistas and challenging holes thRoughout the entire course. The greens can be tricky and the elevation changes are quite dramatic. The course can be played from 4 sets of tees and all players will find the right amount of challenge on this course. The...

This course is always in good condition, a fun course with amazing ocean, mountain and Maui views. However, it can be unplayable on a windy day (the golf ball will not stay on the greens), and they don't give wind checks. More

I played the Hapuna course 5 times over a 2 week stay at the Hapuna Beach hotel. During prior stays on the Big Island I would trek around and play different tracks every few days. This time, I decided to just stick to playing the Hapuna and neighbouring Mauna Kea courses. Saved some bucks buying a 5 round pack (3... More
