Mauna Lani Resort - North Course

Great challenging course with perfect greens and fairways. Golf was perfect. Can’t believe we paid huge rack rates and no beverage cart!!!!!! Would have been nice if they told us beforehand. Even one of the waters they gave us in our cooler had been opened. The second marshal we saw waved and drove by-we had to hail him to get water. Troon should be ashamed.

Actually too windy to play, winds not my ball off of the tee numerous times, not to mention almost blowing me over a few times.
Would play with winds like that again.

I have played the course before and the vistas and the layout are fantastic. Greens were a bit slow but given it is Hawaii and the wind was up they did have them rolling slower.

Several holes had a lot of damage on the fairways - some in key landing areas. Some areas were not GUR which seemed odd as the ball was unplayable and no stance possible.

What surprises me is for $300 the little service you get. For example - no one met me to take clubs from car, no confirmation of time, no set-up on cart (I did it), no one at range, etc. The Pro Shop person seemed to be almost angry when checking in. I felt bad I was about to golf there. This is a Troon Club! Overall very poor service other than the nice attendant at end who cleaned my clubs. Need to be better - will not return with that service.

Beautiful Course! I am not a huge fan of target golf, but the course was so pretty and in such nice condition, that it's hard to complain. Personally, I just find it much more difficult the 1st time you play it. However, if you were going play it a couple of times it would be a blast!!!

After playing Mauna Lani - South 25 years ago, it was time to try the North course. The staff was very friendly and allowed us to tee off a half hour early since there was little traffic. The course was in excellent condition, rough not very difficult and greens in good shape if not a bit slower than I expected. Typical upscale resort conditions. There was moderate difficulty which increased the last few holes as the winds picked up considerably. Only one hole finished beautifully by the ocean with the rest winding through condos or lava fields. The price was higher than necessary (it is Hawaii after all) . This was a one and done event. No need to play again.

After playing the South Course on Monday, we came back to play the North course two days later. Wouldn't have even thought we were at the same place. After 20 minutes at the bag drop, we finally gave up and carried our bags downstairs to the cart. No one down there seemed to be interested in helping us either. Overall the course was in good, but not great shape. Lots of burned out areas in the fairway, but the greens were nice. A few picturesque holes, including #17, but nothing to make it worth the price or playing it again. I think we were spoiled by the service we had earlier. If you can only play one of the two, we'd suggest the South course.

There’s a lot of reconstruction of the cart paths and tunnels going on right now

Great layout, nice variety of challenges, perfect greens, what’s not to like about North!

A well maintain course. The pace of play was better than average, about 4hr15min. We enjoyed very much the different course setting with plenty of lava rocks. There are a few holes with ocean views but otherwise an inland course. Overall a very nice experience.

The greens on the slow side as compared to our regular course’s. Many fairways are wide open but a few are a bit challenging with either narrow or trees- splitting fairways.

The price is pretty stiff, over value, probably carried over from the more famous South Course. If you have time and don’t mind spending extra, it would be a good experience.

Great track! The greens are true. Course condition is amazing.
