The Village Course at Waikoloa

We lived on the third hole green for 3 weeks. So golfing here was like playing in your backyard.

This course was in better shape than other that were charging twice as much.

Nice layout, forgiving enough.

Lots of wide fairways. But greens protected by bunkers.

The course was ready and I was ready. Great views on a cloudless morning. Staff was very helpful and friendly. After golf refreshments were delicious. Parking was ample. Watch for nene geese.

Played two other courses no beverage cart! We saw beverage cart lady twice. Wide open fairways and got lucky no wind the day we played. Definitely recommend play early finish early loved it.

The fairwat grass is like the rough at other courses. Spongy greens (yes spongy). Late morning teeoff was almost 5 hour round with sometimes four groups on a hole with open holes ahead (marshalls were out but doing nothing). The course has a great layout but it needs a lot of work.

We really like this course, but Dec 9 the course was SLOW, SLOW, SLOW

Only real complaint was the condition of the fairways. Seemed like almost all of the fairways had a lot of bare patches where the plant root system & dirt was visable with no plant growth showing. Bunkers weren't sand so much as 1/4 minus gravel.

Great course for a fun relaxing round, course is in excellent condition, maybe not as swanky as some but it is the best value out there!

I’ve never seen gravel as a bunker material. They say it’s because of the high winds, the sand would blow out. I’ve played many courses that are subject to high winds and never seem gravel.

If you play there bring and old sand wedge or you will ruin your club. Other then that, it’s a good track to play, but play early to avoid slow play.

Nice public course. Good layout. Some improvement in court conditions could be made.
