Hapuna

Hapuna: Designed by the team of Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay, this is the sister course of Mauna Kea and part of that famous Hawaiian resort on the Kohala Coast.  The similarities end there.  Hapuna is set in the foothills and has a completely different feel and landscape than its elder mate.  Founded in 1992 and due to it's relative newness, a more volcanic earth surface, and its inland location, the course is very open and plays more like a links course.  The testy Pacific Tradewinds dictate players' strategy and keeping the ball out of the rough is, as usual, is a good idea.  There are very few areas where one can even hit the ball out of the rough due to the dark lava landscape and tall billowing grass.  The course rating from the Tournament tees is 72.5 and the slope rating is 134.
