The Village Course at Waikoloa
Rating Snapshot
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.

Playable course
This course is a very playable course for every level of golfer. Long enough to be a challenge for better golfers, and fairways accessible to most other players. Recommend this course for a great value.
Good value
Like this club good value . Really friendly staff. Like the course a lot not too hard but lots of challenges for an average golfer
Very impressive, fantastic setting.
I booked this course by chance and was extremely happy that I did so. The staff was right there to help with the clubs and offered tips on how to play certain holes. We didn't eat there, so I couldn't comment on the food.
Very Nice
Greens were a bit slow, rough was high enough to lose a few balls and sand traps had fine peastone for sand, not good for club head finish.
Fun Course to play
Had a good time. Hillier than I remembered it. Greens tough to read, lots of subtle breaks, some grain. Wild Turkeys all over the place. Strange bunkers-small light gravel but play like sand. Food service in restaurant was very poor. Plan to eat elsewhere after round. Tried to play on a different day but Golf Now screwed up my reservation and wouldn't refund my pre-payment. Not the course's fault.
Less expensive choice
I was able to book a round with club rental and cart for less than $110, this is a good rate for Big Island. I enjoyed the course so much I paid $38 to replay with same equipment. Although I could not finish the second round it was a good deal for me. Wish I did not have to stop playing because there was still another 15 minutes of daylight left on the 5th of January so they can put the gears away.
Big Island Golf
Course was in good shape, not too difficult. Sand traps are misleading as they are small coral pebbles not sand. Overall, great time!
Breezy conditions
An anomaly in weather created a very challenging 18 holes but we accepted the challenge and finished our game successfully. Deducting 1.50 strokes over part helped a little but overall we and a few others bravely finished. I loved it and will definitely make a future tee time regardless of weather conditions. Hey, this is the game of golf that few can really enjoy!
r.c.
p.s. anyone can play Tucson but Waikoloa is where it's at ....
Wide open and great views
Nice open fairways. Wind steady at 25mph, gusting to 35 mph made for challenging round of golf. Greens in great shape. Nice views of entire island throughout round!
Windy
The course was in good shape, but the wind was incredible with additional gusts over 30 mph. It takes a bit adjusting for the wind, especially putting.
Fun but windy
Wide fairways, some elevated greens, bunkers filled with pea gravel instead of sand because of the windy conditions. You won't lose many balls because there is little water and the rough is mostly forgiving. Nice ocean views from a few holes. You have to be ok playing in wind because most of the time it will be very windy I.e. Hard to keep your cap and scorecard through 18 holes.
Fun course but pass if it is a windy Don't rent clubs, bring your own
$50 charge for club rental is more than the green fee on Golf Now! Course is a great layout but fairways could really use some work. Sand traps are rock traps so they will have something in them when the wind blows. Everything is extra, bottled water, range balls, tees etc. Pay more to play a real golf course at Waikaloa Beach resort where everything is included. It will cost the same in the end.
Great Staff, Nice Course
Forgiving course. Nice views. Very polite and helpful staff. We will definitely golf here on our next visit to the Big Island!!
Great Value
Fun to play, nice mix of challenge and forgiveness. Bunkers are not sand rather a type of fine gravel. The grit on the greens can be an issue at times. Very walkable if you choose.
Quality course for the money
Golf in Hawaii, what could be better. Sunshine, a little wind. Course in great shape, good greens, friendly staff.
Play local golf without resort prices
If you are in Hawaii you expect to pay top dollar for everything. If your wallet is getting light or you just want a taste of regional golf without the resort prices..... You have found your course!
Great value!
Had a great time, got a little windy in the afternoon.
Yateman at Waikoloa
My husband and I had a wonderful round playing golf at your course. Everyone was friendly. We met another nice couple and planning on coming again.
