Nestled between the Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea volcanoes, The Village Course at Waikoloa (formerly known as Waikola Village Golf Club) has a beautiful and unique location that overlooks the Pacific Ocean. The verdant, rolling terrain is dotted with stands of young trees and lakes that were incorporated into the golf course’s design. Robert Trent Jones Jr., the course’s designer, tried to maintain the natural assets of the landscape while adding a few challenges such as fairways bunkers and doglegs. The golf course also features traditional raised greens that are subject to forceful prevailing winds. Although the course is challenging enough for the serious golfer, the relaxed pace and beautiful scenery appeal to players of all skill levels. Locals often consider The Village Course at Waikoloa one of Hawaii’s best-kept secrets.

Best bang for your buck on the Big Island

I’ve played this course several times. Staff are always friendly, course is usually in good shape and pace is generally 4 hours or less. This time I had an 8:06 tee time and played in 3.5 hours with a gentleman that was local. It’s been a joy every time I go and definitely best bang for your buck in the area.

Very nice experience

This is a great, affordable Big Island golfing option. There is a lot to like about the course as it is in great shape with good amenities. The fairway grass is quite long so the course plays longer, sometimes much longer than the yardage. I also found, for whatever reason, that I needed one more club than the yardage indicated on my approach shots as the uphills were steeper than they looked in many cases. The greens are well protected with pea gravel bunkers so it's a good test.

Nice course

Some rough spots in the fairways. No sand, just crushed stone in the traps. Otherwise good condition and layout. Friendly staff and good pace of play for large number of players. Enjoyed playing and would recommend others to play.

Great course, great value

Waikoloa Village Course is a great course and a great value. It is forgiving with wide fairways but still challenging, especially the par 3's. It was raining when we started and the course was practically empty, but the rain quit after three holes and we pretty much had the course to ourselves. It was great!

Outstanding day of golf coming all the way from Wisconsin during the holidays!

We really enjoyed our round of golf at the Waikoloa Village golf course. The course was in great shape and everyone that worked there was very professional and friendly.
