The Village Course at Waikoloa

$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.

Forgiving course. Nice views. Very polite and helpful staff. We will definitely golf here on our next visit to the Big Island!!

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.

Golf in Hawaii, what could be better. Sunshine, a little wind. Course in great shape, good greens, friendly staff.

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!

Had a great time, got a little windy in the afternoon.

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.

Great muni with wide open fairways. Greens were in great shape but slow. Some distant ocean views and a few diglegs. Sand traps are ground rock. Would highly recommend this for the price. Also played Mauna Lani North, which is pricier but much narrower and more of a challenge for 10 handicaps or less

Overall a nice public course. Great value with GolfNow discounts compared to paying 2 to 4 times more for other courses in the area. Beautiful island views throughout including the many feathered wildlife.
Offers some challenges with pin placements and large greenside bunkers. Greens were much slower than they looked. No real sand in most of the bunkers considering it's on an island surrounded by beaches.

I play on the Big Island frequently but never had played this course until now. It is a nice course with some ocean views in the very distance, greens were running about 8-9. Most bunkers have a pea gravel in them. Not bad, just need to adjust to how the ball in the gravel responds. Sometimes just picking it out instead of hitting through seemed to work since I found myself in more than usual.:-) I will definitely go back.

The course people were great. The price was OK given it's in Hawaii and the cost reduction with Golfnow made it very reasonable. The only hole descriptions are on the cards with small print (for those who use reading glasses :). The time between groups greatly helped the pace of play (many,beginner types, 20 yard hitters while I played) but finished in just over 3hrs/45min. Very friendly fellow players on the course wen I played.
Had a very good time with borrowed clubs !!

Excellent Course --good friendly staff--had a super time!

We spent the week on this island and played four courses and this is the one we chose to replay. The course is very playable with wide fairways, nice layout, and some ocean views. Fairways and greens in decent shape for a public course. The "sand" bunkers were not really sand but what I would deem "white chat". Interesting to hit out of but more disturbing was finding the chat on the green from previous golfers and spending the time to clean the green for your putt. The staff was easy going and very helpful. Due to low tee time bookings, we were able to get off early both days we played and was able to set our own pace. Upon returning to the clubhouse, one of the few places anywhere where we were encouraged to use the cart to take our clubs to the car. That was nice touch instead of a guy waiting with a rag in one hand and his other hand out for a tip. This is a nice course for novice and intermediate golfers.

We had a great time. Pace of play was excellent and course was in pretty good shape. A course that is very forgiving of the high handicap golfer.

I stayed at HGVClub in Waikoloa many times and played Kings and Beach courses several times. Waikoloa Village Golf Club has wider and more beautiful fairway with no bushes and desserts. Distance is also enough for us. Next time visiting Kona Coast, I will play this golf course again!

We play this course all the time using our Hawaii Golf Card when vacationing. Can't believe the rate (w/cart) through Golf Now. Awesome deal, to good to pass up!

If you are on a budget this course is the one on the big island. I have not played others but I think it is a nicely maintained and enjoyable course. The pace of play was perfect as it was not too busy, however me and my mate are far from experts.

Beautiful setting, great views, and very windy! Located about 6 miles from the ocean....many holes have great views of the ocean and Mauna Kea just to the north. Good conditions, with several challenging holes. Great day of golf in Hawaii, what is not to like! Will definitely play this course on my next visit!!

The course is located in the Waikoloa Village away from all of the tourist traps. Lots of locals play this course but there are a few out of towners out there as well. The course is in great condition and challenging enough for most golfers. For the price, you can't find a better place on the big island.

Staff is extremely courteous and professional. Very nice golf carts and rental clubs. Rentals (Taylor Made) seemed to be brand new. Course was in good shape for the $60 green fee. Pretty views of the coastline and volcanoes.
