Sea Mountain at Punalu'u Golf Course

Overview: Sea Mountain at Punaluʻu was a former coastal golf course on the Kaʻū coast of the Big Island, associated with the Punaluʻu resort development. The property combined open volcanic ground, coastal views and a resort clubhouse, but county records describe the golf course and resort facilities as no longer operating. This profile treats it as an archived course record.

History: County records describe the Sea Mountain development as taking shape from the late 1960s into the 1970s, with the golf course completed around 1974. The available sources do not establish a reliable architect, par or current yardage, and there is no current playing access to report.

Did You Know? The property’s history is tied to the former Punaluʻu resort rather than to a surviving golf operation. That distinction matters because older directories can still list Sea Mountain beside active Hawaii courses even though the course itself is closed.
