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.

Great round for the price

Overall was a great round of golf. We brought the wives with us so had 4 carts and they were accommodating. Beverage guy was great and always made sure we had enough liquids. Course layout is great, greens looked like they had been aerated recently but still played well.

Classic layout, clean conditions

Really fun course with interesting, well-designed holes. Unpredictable, swirling winds make strategy crucial and the many elevation changes offer unique shot-making opportunities. Staff was friendly and courteous, and the views from up on the hill were stunning. Highly recommend playing this course!

Great course

Played by myself at 10:00 in 3:15 hrs. Certainly pace of play affected by number of people on course. Overall course conditions were great with friendly and helpful staff. Moderately challenging as wind can come into play at times. Favorite course I have played on Big Island. Wish wasn’t 50 minutes Kailua-Kona. Highly recommend.

Nice layout

Loved this course. Great condition and moderately challenging with good size fairways. Can get windy. Staff friendly as again played by myself. Played at 10 by myself and really no traffic until 14th hole. Favorite course so far wish didn’t have to drive 50 minutes. Restaurant looked busy although did not try. Water stations every 3 holes.

Greens need some work

Overall, we like the tough layout. Beautiful setting and good pace of play. It is a bit pricey for the condition it is in. Greens are uneven and inconsistent. Fairways are in good shape. Roughs are, well, rough.
