You can only experience this and more at Hapuna Golf Course located in Big Island, which stretches along the awe-inspiring Kohala coastline before rising to more than 700 feet above sea level. On top of an affordable price and accommodating and professional staff, you will never regret coming here, probably even wish to come back for more!

With the combined talent of golf architects Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay, Hapuna Golf Course boasts a spectacular links course that takes advantage of the landscape’s natural contours and silky fescue grasses. This is the same reason why golf enthusiasts – local and tourists alike, praise not only its challenging design but also how unbelievably it blends into the environment

Palmer, as experienced as he is, incorporated a few risk-reward opportunities that you could specifically experience at par-5, number 14. Remember, there are many ways to play this hole that features a massive ravine on the right and wide but shallow green. If you are a long hitter, you can reach the green in two, but short hitters do better at two shots and a par 3.

After a fun play, you deserve mouthwatering foods and refreshing beverages to complete your experience at Hapuna. There are several restaurants with lanais, where you enjoy your meal while sipping your favorite cocktail, wine, or beer. They serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, and pupus, ranging from sandwiches, salads, chicken, plates of seafoods, and many more. If you want to take your experience to the next level, stay for a while after dinner to listen to live music. Or, if you prefer pure rejuvenation on the island, try the Hapuna Spa by Mandara. 

Of course, shopping for golf accessories and apparel should never be missed. Perhaps, purchase a souvenir from their Pro Shop as a gift to yourself or your loved ones.
