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.

First time it was slow playing here !

We love this course! But today we were behind the slowest groups ! We couldn’t believe how long they took! And playing extra balls when their shots were fine! They really needed a marshal out there that day . The groups in front of us were driving their carts right up to the greens and across par 3s fairway! And they were young people! It was frustrating! But we will be back! Hopefully not behind so many people with no respect for the course!

First time at this course not knowing what to expect

This course was truly well kept Manicure conditions

The staff was very friendly and courteous, which helps speed up of the process on the first Tee

I would recommended Course to anyone in the area. It was a beautiful day and a wonderful experience will come back to play once again.

The only thing I recommend is not to hit your ball in the center. The sand traps are not quite white sand but very small pebble stones not sure why but don’t land in the sand trap and you’ll be fine.
