In years of visiting the family on the Big Island and playing Hapuna many times, I can say without a doubt it is in much better shape right now than anytime in the last 20 years.

Everything is in amazing shape lead by the greens. They are so smooth and so tight that they look fake.

If you haven't been before and have the chance don't miss it.

This course is not in the "Usual rotation" when we are visiting but we were able to find a way to get on without the usually insane $300 green fee.

I have trouble believing that a $300 green fee is a reality.

Surprisingly, after having played, I would do so again and happily pay the $300.

Much better layout than most "resort" courses. It is a Jack Nicklaus design so the course is very scenic. Lots of mountain and water views, The final three holes are on the ocean.

Immaculate tee to green, however, we caught it a month prior to the Mitsubishi senior event there so they had all the greens roped off with temporary greens. Bummer, the greens looked amazing.

Next time....

I'll second what S Bogey said above.

They've reopened firvthe season.

Course is in surprisingly good shape. All the winter/spring wet weather has really helped out the whole course.

The creek is running, coyotes have the gophers in check and the fairways and greens are in great shape.

Bring the clubs if you're coming "UTH" (up the hill)

Course in the best shape of the season right now. Greens smooth, hard and quite fast, won't hold most shots.

Fairways mostly lush with a few bare spots scattered. Tees nice, sand not so much, rough is sketchy.

Course is improving as the season and turf matures. Still a long ways to go to get into the condition it has been in the recent past.

Notable exception, somehow they have the gopher situation, which was off-the-charts problematic last year, very much better handled.

Worth the "Time-for-Nine" (course slogan) if you happen to be "up the hill".

The club sandwich in the "Clubhouse Grill" is noteworthy, as are the fries. (Guilty indulgence)

Crushingly disappointing experience at SH today. I really don't understand the previous recent reviews, perhaps something has changed here very recently or we aren't playing the same course.

This course is in worse condition than the worst muni course you have ever played.

The fairways are weeds. The rough is knee high weeds or hardpan that hasn't seen water in years. The traps are dirt, the tees boxes are watered, but all torn up. The range mats have holes through them, few have tees and the tee mats and the club racks were all strewn about the range like a tornado had just passed through. Ball washers dry, no benches at the tees, trash cans over full. Bright spot? The greens were quite nice.

Once was a great facility and a great course, now for all practical purposes management has abandon this course.

It is sad. Don't do it.

A week-long trip in the mountains made for five nice rounds.

The gopher problem at Bear Mountain continues to plague the course conditions again this season.

Without the gopher damage, the fairways and rough would be excellent. Due to the extensive damage, both struggle to be considered in the "fair" category.

Tees are bad, little grass coverage and out of level. Sand quality fair.

Greens are the bright spot, much improved from years past. Smooth, good coverage and fast.

Accepting that the gophers own the place and we are their guests, our second round of the week we committed to winter rules and bumped the lies off the gopher scars and had a much better time.

All the rains have really had a positive impact on the playing conditions and the whole environment around the course. Well worth a visit.

Soule is suffering with a lack of water...Tees are marginal, fairways super thin or dirt, rough almost non-existent, sand is mostly dirt.

The greens are exceptional.

Still a good track with amazing views and a great staff and facility.

Lets all hope this winter puts the drought behind us.
