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.

Solid course

Great course that is well maintained. I paid $85 on the hot rate and rented clubs for $50. They gave me sim max clubs and I killed it with them. It was perfect. The course isn’t too difficult and it’s pretty hard to lose a ball. I also played hapuna while I was here ($275 for round and club rental) and this place was definitely better maintained and I had more fun here. Course was wide open, so we were cruising, never had to wait once. Good value for a course on Kona!!

Surprisingly Good Course

I played 18 at 2pm with another single - done in 3+ hours. Very enjoyable. Surprisingly fun and much more reasonably priced than the typical Kona courses by the water. Strongly recommend!

Fun!

Great staff, had fun even during a downpour, the driving range was the least quality area, volcanic “sand” in the traps, beautiful views, affordable experience!

Waikoloa Village Golf Course

Very nice enjoyable course but extremely windy which is why we didn't rate it excellent. Well maintained fairways and greens and lots of wildlife. Dining area was adequate but could be improved. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Village of Waikoloa Golf

Beautiful course tucked away at a higher elevation.

We thoroughly enjoyed this well kept, nice layout with the exception of the high winds. Staff were very friendly and the bird wildlife exceptional. Would go again next time in Hawaii!

Fun muni on Hawaii’s big island

Great warmup course for mainlanders getting acclimated to golf in Hawaii. Friendly, courteous and professional staff. Ample restaurant fare and cold beverages greet you at the 19th hole. A quick 15 minute drive from the Waikoloa beach resort area yields easy access to this gem. GolfNow availability allows for surprisingly great rates.

Enjoyable course

This is a good course. Wide fairways and good condition. Yes the traps have “kitty litter” but other wise the wind would blow everything away. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Greens were consistent. All in all very good for the deal rate that I got.

Not Worth the Effort

Super slow pace. Lots of hackers all over the course. People I was paired with playing multiple balls. Marshal could have cared less. Pretty straight away layout with a few nice views but not very interesting. Would be fine for the occasional golfer. Not worth the rack rate but fair Hot Deal price. Won’t be rushing back with so many other courses nearby.
