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.

Pace of play

Course was great, really nice layout. problem was pace of play.

Waited EVERY shot. Too many singles and twosomes, no marshals. I suggest they move to 10 minute intervals.

Great course!

My wife son and I stayed at the condos on the course. Took my son out for two rounds of golf while we were here. Loved the course, staff was super friendly and the course conditions were some of the best I’ve seen. Was a perfect addition to our already amazing vacation here.

Hade a Nice Time

I took a friend and we wanted to play a more open course and Waikoloa Village met our needs. We had a great time. Play slowed up at times but only for 5 or 6 holes. It gave us time to admire the beautiful vistas.

Great Value

Beautiful day except last two holes with a two club wind.

Apparently the sand will not stay in the bunkers so small pebbles are used.- not appealing.

Saturday Golf?

Can’t believe the golf shop put groups of five

Players out on a Very Busy Sat. Not only that but

They couldn’t play golf! Resulted in a 4.5 hr. Round

on a course I always play in 3.75.

Need effective Marshall on the weekends!

Great course

Pace of play was fantastic. The starter did is job . I was a single player with my wife sharing the cart. He let us go before a group of 8 local players. I played in 31/2 hrs . Greens were quick enough . Layout was correct. Just surprise about the sand traps who have little stones instead of sand. I played few few time and it was ok. Great time on this course
