Nestled between the Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea volcanoes, 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 Waikola Village Golf Club one of Hawaii’s best-kept secrets.

Mostly local members play

Wanted to find a not so expensive course to play along the Kona, HI coast after playing several high-end courses on my vacation. Got a good deal on GolfNOw for $85 at 11am start. Greens were in better shape than some of the more expensive tracts, but fairways and tee boxes were "chewed up" with bare spots, some weeds. Biggest problem was the "Fivesome" in front of our twosome that would not let us play thru. We followed this group (probably members) for 11 holes, waiting on tee box and in fairways for them to clear the next green. Pretty aggravating that the club allows this to happen. No Ranger on the course either.

Nice view and friendly atmosphere

Being an average golfer, it is the most important to make round in a friendly and comfortable atmosphere. This is one of the golf courses that gives such circumstances. Fifteen minutes uphill drive from R20 will immediately take you to this course, which is right in the middle of Waikoloa Village. Obviously out courses were renovated, and the condition is far better than before. In courses are still in the process of renovation. in some holes you have to hit from nearly bare ground.

In some of the holes you can enjoy good mountain view and ocean view. No. 18 is quite enjoyable hoke with a pond before the green. If you can finish this hole in strategically good manner, you have the feeling of completion. If not, you want to come back again.

For the cost of the round the course was in poor to fair condition. Fairways were bare in many areas and the greens were terrible. Not worth the money to play.

Nice little course

An excellent choice for a challenging game if you’re tired of the big expensive ones on the island. The course was in ok condition, but pretty dry and the fairways are full of crabgrass. Really fun layout and worth the time/money!

Good course, Good price, Nice staff

First time playing this course and we really enjoyed it. Nice views of the ocean and really nice greens. Not as spectacular the courses close to the water but all in all a nice place to play golf and also forgiving. If you don't want to have to deal with lava rock left and right of the Fairways then this is your course. Matt was a stand out at the pro shop! Thank you Matt for your advice and kindness! Also the price to play is much less than the courses down the hill.

They tricked me

Thought I was going to play at the Waikoloa beachside course. NO, this course is miles away at a small town. Don't be fooled!

Lucky day usually windy course

Apparently this is usually a breezy course but made it to 16 without much then felt Mother Nature wake up, partly due to slow play in front or I would have avoided all together. I would say if the full 18 had been windy (25 mph) I wouldn’t have had as much fun. Tried to add a picture of 3 which has a pond blocking the green, 168 from white tees so tips could get hairy. Green shaggy fairways and advice from the pro shop was “roughs are rough” and they were, wedges had to get balls first no room for fat hits.

Nice course

We enjoyed playing here. There aren’t many bad lies and the rough isn’t very rough. Exceptional wind can be a challenge, but no more so than other courses on this part of the island.
