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.

Good experience after pace of play issue
I have played here several times in years past. The course wasn’t crowded so play should have been moving well. We were behind a foursome that took 50 minutes to play 2 holes. I called the pro shop and they sent someone out to take care of the problem. They had the group stand aside and we played in 4 and a half hours. Not bad but this is a four hour course. It is in the best condition I have ever seen. I will play it again.
Great day with friends
Our 4 some ( two married couples) from Arizona enjoyed our day. The course was in good shape . Some very pretty ocean vistas along with lots of natural areas. The fairways and greens were in good shape. We saw wild turkeys on the course along with a few goats. Lots of nesting ne nes. There are some forced carries but it is a fair course- not “tricked” up. The round was completed in about 4 hours.
Better than Beach Course
Thoroughly enjoyable course. Highly recommend it!
Traps
Everything was great except the sand traps were more like pebble traps.
Golfnow screwed up
You allowed me to book when the course was closed for a tournament. Had to wait 2 hours for the tourrny to finish. Major inconvenience
Accessible Hawaiian Golf Course
On vacation without my clubs. Had not planned to play because Hawaii is notoriously expensive & challenging. Found a great deal on Golf Now, so went for it. We had so much fun. I’m a relatively new golfer, and found this course to be manageable & not overwhelming. My husband is an excellent golfer & enjoyed it as well. The rental clubs we used were outstanding. This is a fun, well managed course. We had great weather and only a little wind.
Nice Coirse
We played the village course 11 years ago on our first visit to the big island. Several of the courses we played back then have gone down hill but the Village Course at Waikoloa did not disappoint. Course was in great shape with fairly fast greens and all was in great condition. Didn’t remember the bunkers being very small pebbles instead of sand but found them easy to hit out of the couple times I found an errant shot in them. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Wish we had played it earlier in our stay as we would have played it again but alas we have to go back to the cold tomorrow.
Fairways and tees were good greens were ok a little bumpy but fine. Overall good experience.
Above average course for price.
Would return to play again
Great course
Course was in great shape. Prepare for the wind. It was blowing at a constant 30-40 mph. According to locals it’s pretty normal for the area
