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.

Fun golf course!!!

A Fun course to play. Pace of play was excellent. Matt in pro shop very good to deal with.

Not a course that will make you think—never seen a hole like that before—but a really enjoyable place to play.

Would like to see a bit better rate—-but it is Hawaii after all.

Waikoloa Village golf, wide and walkable.

Course is wide open and it is good for those who like to drive the ball. Four sets of tee boxes. It can get windy up here. The sand bunkers are filled with volcanic grit., because of the wind. However, they are playable. The course has a few forced carries. Course has an interesting layout and it is walkable. Fairways are thin with a number of dead spots in them. Same with the greens. Would play again because it's an interesting layout. It's a fun course as it dares you to go for it. Would play again. A bit pricey for its conditions. For after golf amenities it's hard to beat Johnny's Restaurant which has both good drinks and food.

This course needs TLC so bad!

Poor fairways and poor greens. That’s all you get at this course. Not worth the money. Really I have no idea how they got their good ratings.
