I’ve played both. Mauna Lani was in better shape, well kept, with a nice mix of holes, but windy AF. Mauna Kea went up and down the mountain with mix of jungle and ocean. I felt it was somewhat tricked up and not as well maintained. More touristy at MK. Personally I prefer condition to design. ...

Absolutely worth it, but you’re not going for the best food in the world, you’re going for the old school ambiance. And, they do BYOB. Steaks were okay, caesar and dessert were better....

Personally I would take the 2 hr in EWR, never know if you’ll encounter a delay where 40 min could make a difference. I’d be more concerned about the return trip where you need to clear immigration and bags back in the US. Bring a rain suit....
