The Village Course at Waikoloa
About
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.

Golfer Reviews
For the cost of the round the course was in poor to fair condition. Fairways were bare in many areas and the greens were terrible. Not worth the money to play.
Nice little course
An excellent choice for a challenging game if you’re tired of the big expensive ones on the island. The course was in ok condition, but pretty dry and the fairways are full of crabgrass. Really fun layout and worth the time/money!
Fun course, excellent staff and wonderful pace of play
Out of towners
Played here for the second time after being gone 2years.. friendly staff and course conditions were very good, much like before. Definitely recommend this course as a good deal and fun to play.
Good course, Good price, Nice staff
First time playing this course and we really enjoyed it. Nice views of the ocean and really nice greens. Not as spectacular the courses close to the water but all in all a nice place to play golf and also forgiving. If you don't want to have to deal with lava rock left and right of the Fairways then this is your course. Matt was a stand out at the pro shop! Thank you Matt for your advice and kindness! Also the price to play is much less than the courses down the hill.

Played 9 holes - super quiet, nice scenery. Course was in OK condition.
Great Big Island Golf
Son and I played Waikoloa Village golf course twice in one week during July 2022. Golf Now price was excellent especially contrasted with Waikoloa Shores where we were staying. And Hawaii golf experice there was just fine.
They tricked me
Thought I was going to play at the Waikoloa beachside course. NO, this course is miles away at a small town. Don't be fooled!
Lucky day usually windy course
Apparently this is usually a breezy course but made it to 16 without much then felt Mother Nature wake up, partly due to slow play in front or I would have avoided all together. I would say if the full 18 had been windy (25 mph) I wouldn’t have had as much fun. Tried to add a picture of 3 which has a pond blocking the green, 168 from white tees so tips could get hairy. Green shaggy fairways and advice from the pro shop was “roughs are rough” and they were, wedges had to get balls first no room for fat hits.
Punched greens and 40mph winds
No mention of aeration schedule on website before booking. Would have skipped if I knew about green conditions. Cart/starter/range ball staff was friendly. Finished round in 3hrs with one another player. Would be nice course with healed greens.
Great staff
We got there early and they joined my son and I up with another twosome so we could get done before the rain. Super friendly and helpful! Go play it’s nice!
