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.

Great golf course. Greens extremely hard to read.
I play this course on a regular basis, Village resident and Men's Club member. It has been closed for almost two months ( Corona Virus), but it was still maintained by the greens crew. It is in the best condition it has ever been.
Very Pleasant Surprise
Love golfing on the Big Island.
Happened upon a course that is NOT a resort course (where they charge exorbitant prices)
Waikoloa Village Course.
A cut-above a muni course.
In very, very nice condition!
Has it all - dogleg right and left, water, up and down.
Have been back several times.
Bargain and elegance in one package!
Waikoloa Village Course was in excellent shape
Waikoloa Village Course is a very user-friendly course, well maintained, with a friendly staff, and reasonable rates.
Best course
Everything was perfect. and the covid 19 restrictions were very much appreciated.
Great golf experience
The golf course was great and they had the best solution regarding the pins. Excellent choice. The only negative experience was trying to set up a account and booking on line with Golfnow.com this was terrible .
Great course
Great course, in good shape and a challenge. Big greens with lots of hills
Course Back from Covid Quarantine
We are local and have enjoyed this course in the past. The staff has done a fine job of balancing safety and playing fun. Good mix of challenges. This is a great value course, well maintained, beautiful views, and the flow of play has been very satisfactory. Because of social distancing still in force, there aren't any off-course amenities.
Beautiful Day
It was a perfect day for golf in Hawaii. Perfect temperature, perfect wind conditions ( I have played here in a gale) and I was looking forward to playing here for the first time in five years. The Nene were nesting and nursing their goslings and the staff were very attentive and professional. I enjoyed my round so much I’m booked for tomorrow. Mahalo
Great Staff; Great Course
What a great course and staff! Tom, the manager, really took care of us (two couples in a four-some). We had booked through a golf booking service and, as a result, there are no refunds if it's raining or windy unless you cancel 24 hours ahead.. We were to play in a few days when a large storm was scheduled to come through. We called and thought about cancelling. However, Tom went out of his way to find a slot for us two days prior to the storm and made sure we weren't charged any rebooking fees. He even called me the night before at 6:00 p.m. to confirm I was all taken care of! Talk about GREAT service. The day we arrived, it was beautiful and busy. Tom made sure we were set and we ended up with a GREAT experience! We went out on time and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We have played the course several times over the years and it was in great shape this year (early February, 2019) with fairways mowed well and the greens in excellent condition. All staff we encountered including at the bag drop, club house, on the course, and afterward were friendly and really appreciative of our business. It was a perfect day on a perfect course! Bravo to the 'tone'; as they say, "it starts at the top". Thank you Tom & Staff.
Unimpressed
Course had some interesting holes, but lacked a true Hawaiian feel. Uninteresting landscapes and many condos dominated the round. Green had been freashly sanded without notice and there were many dry spots around the green. Have never played a course with crushed coral in the bunkers, it wasn't difficult to to hit out of, but it made for tough putting. It was like watching a pinball machine.
All the staff were friendly, and the course was in excellent condition.
Thank you for the great experience
Wonderful course
Course layout is excellent and well miexed with challage ones for most golfers. Good condition of greens but bunkers are not properly maintained as thoses are not sandy bunkers. My sand wedge was damaged. Overall rate is very good when you
have good skills to avoid bunkers in playing.
Paradise
Off shore course with light winds and fair pin placement. Super course, very reasonably priced. A must play. Loved it had a blast. Dan W
Course has had better days
Was very surprised that this course has not been well cared for. Sad to see it in such poor shape. Too bad the neighborhood isn't more appreciative of the jewel it has here.
Ho Hum
Course was very dried out...fairways sparse, and we had to move the ball around to find some grass, the bunkers are ground lava rock. The layout was pretty fun, and with a lot of TLC it could be a nice course. It seems that there are a lot of young local types that play here with a limited knowledge of golf etiquette. The really great courses on the Big Island are private, tied to the Four Seasons or $175 to play, so your choices are rather limited.
Surprise in Paradise on Big Island Kona
I had to cancel playing a few days earlier due to medical condition. In the meantime, I was able do a drive-by quick look at the course. I was not then impressed at all with what looked to be (at first glance) a very plain mediocre boring old-style golf experience.
BUT THEN when I decided to give it a chance, the golf course came to life! The fairways were not perfect but were quite playable. The hazards were plentiful but avoidable. And the greens were superb. Besides playing some of my best golf ever, the beauty of the Hawaiian mountains and seashore with rolling hills to guide the placement of each hole was exquisite.
A surprisingly exhilarating day enjoying the day.
Yours Very Truly Grateful!

I believe the bunkers contain small pebbles due to the winds that come up out there. I think that without it all the sand blows away.
