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.

Just added this course to our go to list. Lots of holes along ocean, wide fairways, but really tricky greens to read.

Fun Course on the Kona Coast

Great little course on right on the Kona Coast. Staff is very nice and welcoming! Course plays fairly easy with straightforward holes and nice conditions. Overall, the greens were in excellent shape with many undulations and slope running about 9-10, Grain and Mountain Slope play a huge factor in break and speed. Fairways and bunkers were in good but average and acceptable condition. Definitely worth the play at twilight or better rates, not sure if I would spend the full rack rate.

Great vacation golf.

Beautiful course, great conditions, tremendous views.

Two notes -- for the price we paid, range balls should have been included. The marshal took too long to make an appearance to speed up a very slow foursome.

Fantastic course, great ocean views

We loved the whole experience and we will be back. Great layout, friendly staff and very nice course conditions . Several holes with sensational ocean views. We played on a Tuesday morning in less than four hours. Cart was sparkling clean and the on board GPS was very helpful for course knowledge on our first round.

Course was nice, the range balls were not very nice. For persons as myself that rented equipment they at least could provide a towel for cleaning clubs and ball, things on carts but no towel.

Great Vacation Round

This was a great opportunity to play a course among the lava rock with ocean views. Wide fairways and receptive greens made this course playable for players at any level. Great value for the quality and experience!
