Golf Course  Overview

Golfing in Hawai‘i at Two Championship Golf Courses

Mauna Kea Resort’s two award-winning 18-hole championship golf courses have set the standard for play and for environmental sensitivity in Hawai‘i golf for generations. 

Check off your bucket list at the legendary Mauna Kea Golf Course, originally designed in 1964 by Robert Trent Jones Sr. on what was once a rugged black lava field. The iconic course has recently undergone an extensive renovation, enhancing its lush fairways, bunkers, and greens—all set against the backdrop of seaside cliffs and breathtaking ocean and coastal views. Led by Robert Trent Jones Jr., the transformation honors his father’s original vision, with elevated, undulating greens and prevailing coastal winds that demand accuracy. The epic over-the-ocean signature 3rd hole ensures an unforgettable day of play. Discover more about the newly renovated Mauna Kea Golf Course here.

Mauna Kea Resort also boasts the Arnold Palmer/Ed Seay-designed Hapuna Golf Course which opened to play in 1992. With dramatic elevation changes from sea level to 750 feet and Kohala Coast ocean views and majestic island views from every hole, this fun links-style course measures in at just under 6,900 yards. Its unique design makes it a favorite among visitors and kama‘aina alike.
