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 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

Waikoloa Village

First time playing. We have a condo at Mauna Lani Terrace and I played there for years, but under the current management (Auberge) I have stopped playing there. Ive played Maklaii and Makani and Hapuna and I like Waikoloa Village the best, and good value. Course is well maintained and the holes are interesting. Greens are challenging in a good way - maybe a little slow but you adjust to that. Will play there as my go-to course on the Big Island.

Nice track

Staff was super friendly…used a Hot Deal so it wasn’t expensive, went out as a single, caught another single who jumped a hole to avoid a foursome-they let me play through, as did the other single-eventually hit another foursome and simply hung back-played in 3 hours flat.

Great course!

Was paired with a lovely couple that could really play! Course conditions overall were lush and green, just a couple of dry spots on a couple of fairways. A beautiful course overall. Rented clubs for the first time ever and play a full bag of brand new PXG clubs that were killer. Staff at the pro shop were friendly and cool, Johnny’s restaurant staff were also excellent! Mahalo!
