Hapuna is on the Big Island along the Kohala Coast with views out over the Pacific, Mauna Kea, the Kohala Mountains, and Mauna Loa.

The course rambles along the Pacific with up to 700 feet in elevation change overall. The fairways here are bordered by black lava fields and tall kiawe, native grasses providing a stark contrast. The fairway landing areas are narrow with a generous amount of sand traps, multiple water hazards, and constant trade winds as impediments to par. It plays to 6,875 yards, 73.3/136, course/slope ratings from the tips with three shorter tees, designed by Ed Seay and Arnold Palmer.
