Punalu‘u Black Sand Beach Resort - Hawaii

The golf course at Punalu‘u in Ka‘ū formely known as Sea Mountain has been closed since 2018. The site is located on the big island of Kona, Hawaii approximately 60 miles southwest of Hilo and 70 miles southeast of Kailua-Kona. Plans to renovate and reopen the golf course are part of the Black Sand Beach Resort plans to refurbish the existing decaying infrastructure before undertaking any new construction. Norman Quon is the project director leading the planning applications with the state government. Original plans were filed in 2005.

Property owner Eva Liu is dedicated to collaborating with the local community in planning the revitalization of the 434-acre on the island's southwestern corner downhill from the Kīlauea volcano. The site is approximately 60 miles southwest of Hilo and 70 miles southeast of Kailua-Kona. Golf architect Jack Snyder, ASGCA designed the course opening in 1971. Snyder is credited with over 40 designs in Arizona, New Mexico, and Hawaii including Wailea - Orange Course, Wailea - Blue Course, and Royal Kaanapali South Golf Course.
