First off, this is a beautiful course. There are two courses here, a north and south. We played on the north course. It's not the longest course, but you will need to have good ball placement and course management. It is a challenging course, but fun at the same time. Tee boxes: The tee boxes here are nice, full of grass. It's not sandy like some other courses, great to hit off of. Fairways: Fairways are in real good condition. This is where you want to be. The grass is well maintained and nicely cut. There are trees and fairway bunkers, so you will need to look ahead and plan your shots. The fairway bunkers have sand, but not a lot, which is normal in the other courses I have played. There is a lot of OB left and right of the fairways, but it's the Big Island and lava rocks is not where you want to go walking in golf shoes. Rough: The rough can get thick in some areas. The grass feels a bit sticky, so it could grab your face and shut it if you are not careful. It's best to stick to the fairways. Greens: The greens are pretty nice. It did look like they have been aerated and sanded recently, so speed may vary a little on the different greens. There is a good mix of greens with little undulation to ones with more. Nothing super crazy, but you may need to do a little green reading. The greenside bunkers are also nice, not to be in, but there is enough sand to hit a good shot out. They don't have an overabundance of sand where you need to dig it out, so don't swing as if you are going to take a lot of sand. Staff: The staff are great out here. The clubhouse employees were super friendly and helpful. They directed us to where we needed to go to start on the right course. It does get hot here in the summer, and the Marshall continuously visits everyone, handing out bottles of cold water. Amenities: -Driving range - you will need to take a cart to get to the driving range. It is a grass range, and with the round, you get free balls that are located at the range. -Putting and chipping green - The putting and chipping green is next to the clubhouse. The area is pretty big so it can accomodate a good number of people. -Restaurant - there is a restaurant on property, but we did partake this trip.... maybe ext one. -Restrooms on course - you can find a restroom about every 3 or 4 holes, which are kept pretty clean. We had a great experience here! Definitely will be coming back to enjoy the other course.

Played both courses on March 25th. Paid full price for first round and play again price for second round. No military rates, but offered a Junior rate for my highschool aged son. Much appreciated! Both courses were great, beautiful, and in great shape. Will definitely play again whenever I return to the Big Island. I didn't have a favorite between the two courses. I shot a better score on the North, but maybe I was warmed up for the second round. Both courses had some very scenic holes. Especially all of the lava rock, incredible. The holes along the water were breathtaking. Definitely a must play!

Played a tournament here on the south course and really enjoyed the views and course conditions. Pro shop and starters were great, course was in excellent condition. Green were smooth and quick with subtle breaks. Fairways were wide but boarded by lava so don't miss or your ball is gone. Even the driving range is nice with several targets to aim at. Would play again.

I played early on a Tuesday morning. The course was so uncrowded that I went off as a single. I actually finished 18 holes in two hours and 10 minutes! This is my favorite course on the big island. The Taylor Made rental clubs were excellent. The staff was all very friendly and helpful.

Mauna Lani Golf is pricey, but it is expected. The two courses were in excellent condition with wide fairways and small greens. Greens are slow but in great condition. South course holds all the great scenic views of the ocean, and the north course holds a greater challenge. Holes on 7, 13, 14, and 15 are absolute gems on the South course.
