Kona Country Club

About
The Ocean Course is one of two championship courses at Kona Country Club. As its name implies, this course has an oceanfront location with views of the surrounding mountains that are home to its sister course, the Mountain Course. The Ocean Course provides an easier, but no less enjoyable round than its sibling. The layout features wide-open fairways and numerous strategically placed sand bunkers. The turquoise waters and black lava outcroppings provide natural hazards. The signature holes are the third and 12th, but one of the most memorable is the 13th hole where during November through March, you can catch a glimpse of a humpback whale. While both Kona C.C. golf courses provide a variety of challenges, the Ocean Course is a gentle, more player-friendly option that still features the same stunning views as the Mountain Course.

Fun by the rocks
For never playing anything like it, the course was fun. It's fairly straight forward with some forgiveness where needed, but also forces you to hit a good shot to make a good score. Decent rental clubs, great staff.
Kona CC
Many of the fairways were brown and dry with a lot of cut dead grass on the surface which really slowed down the roll off the tee. The greens were aerated last week (which I knew), but were still slow and sandy due to lack of watering and delayed their recovery . The overall layout is great as several holes front the ocean including a couple of long par 3’s.
All in all a fabulous day, I enjoyed the course, just not the conditions.
Views
Great views of the ocean where a number of holes are located. The greens had been airated so putting was not fun,
Location Location Location
Beautiful views. Course overall in good condition. Greens very tricky but fun. Senior player so course very long. Played whites. Should have choose between red and white tees. The holes along the ocean are stunning!
Very tourist friendly!
this is a very forgiving course with wide fairways and very little out of bounds areas. my husband and i each played the entire 18 holes with the same ball, never losing one! The greens were very sluggish as it was uncharacteristically humid when we played. a local bartender we chatted with said they're usually fast, so be on the lookout for that. be on the lookout for goats too! very scenic and fun.
Fantastic experience
Great course in excellent condition. Greens look strange but quite fast. Pace of play was excellent- maybe got lucky. Ocean views were to die for. Highly recommend.
Great course
We had a fun day playing Kona CC! Great condition and the views we wonderful!
Fantastic course
Every hole is a beautiful post card! Pace of play very good. Price was good for a course in HI. And Restaurant has best view of Keauhou bay!
Great Course!
Just finished playing- gorgeous layout! Good conditions, expensive but decent value for HI. 1st to tee off and finished in 2.5 hours! Will definitely play every time I come to Kona.
Fun course, pace of play fantastic.
Great layout, challenging at times. Greens in great shape.
Great Value, Fun Course
Kona Country Club is a tremendous value. While the course has issues with crabgrass in the fairways, and it is not as pristine as some of the higher end resort courses, you get a fun, challenging layout with elevation changes, fairways that are not flat, excellent greens, many holes with wonderful ocean views, and brand new golf carts with an excellent GPS system, for a much lower cost. The staff is wonderful! Everyone is friendly and they take great pride in their golf carts, polishing them like brand new cars. If you visit Kona Country Club and don't have a good time, it's on you.
Golf at Kona
The staff was very friendly. We needed rental clubs and the professional staff worked diligently to get us set up (we caught them on a busy day, as they were wrapping up a morning tournament)... the range was adequate, but drivers are not permitted and you have to buy your ball token in the pro shop... the ocean views and landscaping were excellent... Our family is a mix of low handicap, bogey and junior players. We chose to play a family scramble, as we often do at home, which helps our pace of place. Our foursome was gently on the heels of the adult foursome ahead of us, while the pair behind us waited on us a few times, because we were waiting. All things considered, we played our 18 holes very quickly - from memory 3 1/2 hours.... Everything is expensive in Hawaii. We were able to get discounted green fees through the GN app. If playing on the mainland, I would expect to pay $60-$80, but Kona is not the mainland... We had a blast. The course had wild goats, ferrets and chickens, which were a novelty and not a problem... If we ever return to Kona, we will play this course again.
Course layout and conditions nice, not a hard course for your average player. Beautiful scenic views on many holes and worth the price. Only negative I have is I wanted to finish round with a cold beer in bar area and the bartender made it obvious if I wasn't a local she didn't want to serve. Didn't take away from a great round of golf
Great experience!
I grabbed the tee time from golf now and I’m glad I did! The course is beautiful and the staff is very friendly. I had a few cold ones and a bite to eat at the restaurant after the e round to complete a great day! Thanks!
