Hapuna Golf Course

Hapuna Golf Course is an 18-hole, par-72 championship golf course located on the beautiful Kohala Coast of Hawaii's Big Island. Designed by legendary golfer Arnold Palmer and architect Ed Seay, the course opened in 1992 and now measures 6,895 yards from the championship tees.

Part of Mauna Kea Resort and associated with The Westin Hapuna Beach Resort, Hapuna offers one of the Big Island's most scenic championship golf experiences.

Carved into the rugged volcanic terrain above the Pacific Ocean, the course features dramatic elevation changes, natural desert landscapes, rolling fairways, and spectacular coastal panoramas.

Golfers enjoy sweeping views of the Kohala Coast and Pacific Ocean, while the majestic Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and Kohala Mountains create an unforgettable backdrop.

The links-inspired design rises through several hundred feet of elevation, offering golfers changing perspectives of the coastline throughout their round.

Hapuna completed a major million-dollar renovation in 2026, enhancing the playing surfaces, fairways, and bunkers while preserving the original design by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay.

The improvements included upgraded turf with seashore paspalum, refined fairway contours, and improved bunker complexes designed to provide consistent playing conditions and support sustainable course maintenance.

With open fairways, strategically positioned bunkers, sloping greens, and the ever-present trade winds, Hapuna offers a rewarding challenge for golfers of varying abilities.

One of the course's standout holes is the par-4 12th, which offers spectacular elevated views across the Kohala Coast and Pacific Ocean. On clear days, golfers may even see the island of Maui on the horizon.

The par-5 11th and par-4 17th are also memorable holes, combining strategic shot-making with dramatic island scenery.

Multiple tee positions make Hapuna enjoyable for recreational golfers, while the championship tees provide a demanding test for more experienced players.

The golf facility offers a driving range, practice putting greens, a full-service golf shop, rental clubs, and professional instruction.

Golfers also benefit from GPS-equipped golf carts, complimentary practice balls and bottled water, and on-course refreshment services.

Conveniently located near the Mauna Kea and Hapuna resort areas, Hapuna Golf Course is an excellent choice for visitors staying along the Kohala Coast and in the Waikoloa area.

Combining newly renovated playing conditions, classic Arnold Palmer design, and breathtaking Big Island scenery, Hapuna Golf Course offers an unforgettable Hawaiian golf experience.
